Continue reading →: The day after electionI’m writing this last night after dinner and I was finally getting some of my energy back after a day as an elections officer. Working a a precinct is a very long day but it’s really enjoyable. We set up the precinct the evening before and we arrive on election…

I didn’t spend a great deal of time sewing or quilting this weekend. I was outside a lot trimming shrubs and blowing leaves. I’m not even halfway through leaf blowing season and I already have mountains of leaves at the edge of the woods. I also filled the back of…

This doesn’t count as much of an accomplishment but, my last finish for October was getting the binding on this quilt that Sharon made and I quilted. I think we have 10 quilts already stashed for our next delivery to the VA in Fredericksburg. Hopefully, we will deliver one more…

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.
