I seldom think or remember to check for ideas on Pinterest and these are all so cute! Good idea about saving the borders /and or salvages, if it is one that I especially like and may want to reorder, I will cut them off with a tiny piece so I will know. You are very organized !!
Bookcase Quilt
I have decided to combine my other chosen pastime (reading books) with my first love (quilting) to make a quilt. In perusing Pinterest, I found several that inspired me. I'm afraid I didn't make note of the quilters who created these, but I'm sure you can find them on Pinterest by searching "boo...
Happy birthday to you! Barbara is very good about sending and sharing fabric and I knew you would like what she was sending. Have a good week there, hope your back cooperates to allow that to happen. All the best, Trudy
Birthday Week
My birthday week is off to a good start. Look what the mailman delivered from my friend and blog reader Barbara: a beautiful birthday card and selvages to add to my book titles on my bookcase quilt. Thanks, Barbara. I love them. And they're all ones that I don't have. The mailman also brou...
Enjoying seeing your puzzles, Susan. I had an uncle from Yorkshire, Uncle Alec and grew up hearing the lilt in his voice. When we lived in England and drove up to and thru Yorkshire, I felt quite at home. The new version of "All Creatures Great and Small" on Pbs is very good and already finished for the first season. Second season is in the works, Barbara! Been busy here handsewing a simple 9 patch quilt for my granddaughter...some days I get more done on it than others but moving right along on it. Take care and welcome March with Spring soon here.
Snowy Puzzle
The day I started this puzzle, it snowed. Not a huge snow, just enough to cover the ground. No problem with electricity or heat or water pipes. Just a nice, pleasant snow. Today, a few days later, it's bright sunny and almost warm. This is the third puzzle I've done this year. I should be spen...
Susan, the only thing that is keeping me going and sane is the farm...chores, flowers, weeding the gardens of which there are many,animal care, walks to our woods, and now as of recent days, getting on the 7 speed bike, by myself and just peddling down our country road, in spite of back pain and other issues. My sewing has been put on hold and I must get busy with that as Christmas gifts are waiting to be started. I have also been reading and staying in touch with family members who also do family tree work like I do. Sending comfort your way.
Binge Stitching
I’ve been stopping to cook, shower, and sleep a few hours. Otherwise, I’m stitching up a storm. I had to stop for a couple of hours this morning to participate in our monthly book club meeting, which for the past few months has been conducted on Zoom. Thank God for Zoom. Without it, I would no...
I think I like the idea of a solid color to give balance to the prints used. The entire thing is beyond my skills that is for sure and I love to paper piece grandmothers flower garden blocks....this is way above that time involved to make mine I am sure. Carry on my friend, you are there to see it in person and I trust your eye! :)
Quad 4 and Border Thoughts
Quad 4 pinned and ready to stitch I got the rosettes of the last quarter pinned in place and ready to stitch this morning. Maybe I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel yet, but I can hear the choo choo coming. I also did a little bit of border auditioning with yardage I have in my stash...
