Continue reading →: Cleaning and crochetYesterday was a full day of basement cleaning. It’s not fun or interesting, but with a wood stove, it has to be done. I did notice that it wasn’t quite as dirty as previous years. I think that due to me not selling hand dyed fabric anymore. I just don’t…

Continue reading →: 2 more veterans quilts to quiltI wasn’t planning to quilt any more veterans quilts before vacation, but these two came in. One is from Mom, and one is from Becky.

Continue reading →: Two more veterans’ quilts and some ice dyeingMy main goal of yesterday was to get these 2 veterans’ quilts quilted so I can deliver them to their makers at our sewing days, today. This one was made by Dawn and I think it’s a very clever design. The border is just half square triangles but it looks…
Hello,
I’m Vicki
I’m Vicki Welsh and I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. I used to be a garment maker but transitioned to quilts about 20 years ago. Currently I’m into fabric dyeing, quilting, Zentangle, fabric postcards, fused glass and mosaic. I document my adventures here.
