Continue reading →: A little crochet updateI was away all day yesterday. I had my physical follow-up (all good) and two visits with friends. It was a great day. I didn’t do anything creative so I thought I’d take an opportunity to share the status on my two crochet projects. This is a wheelchair blanket. I’m…

Continue reading →: A new veterans quilt topYesterday I finished this veterans quilt top. I love it! Every couple of years I cut out about 20 quilt kits so that I have them ready to sew.

Continue reading →: More veterans quiltsYesterday was a productive sewing day with Country School Quilters. I’ll share what I did at the end of the post.

Continue reading →: I’m liking it!I’m also loving the new machine. I didn’t realize how much I was avoiding sewing with the old machine.

Continue reading →: Bordering blocksYesterday was mostly spent blowing leaves, making bread and setting up a new TV. I finally got to the sewing room in the afternoon and started adding borders to the 48 crumb blocks. Two sides are done. Don’t judge just yet! I think they will look much better when set…
