Winding Ways
Winding Ways is really coming along. I think I will make 14 more blocks so the quilt will be 7 x 7 blocks square. Most of the blocks turned out really great. Some are a little poochy in the center where all the seams come together, but those pooches pretty much press out, and once…

Update
Hi there. I seem to be off my posting schedule this week, due to family circumstances. Grandpa is doing ok. He is in the hospital, but they still have not been able to do his surgery because his blood levels aren't quite right yet. With any luck, the surgery will take place today. My husband…

Bad Luck

Hanging Out In the Studio
What a lovely day I had yesterday. I hung out in my studio a good part of the day, puttering with this and that. No deadlines, no pressures, just futzing with whatever my heart led me to do. Since I am working on my Fig Tree Dresden Plates, I decided I needed a thread catcher…

Back to Work!
Ok, enough goofing around, shopping at the mall, and gazing vacantly into space. Time to get back to sewing! I have the day off for the most part today, and plan to put together some Dresden Plates. I love these pretty Fig Tree fabrics, and know my finished top will be so summery and vintagey. …
