We have been so busy with family things that sewing has taken the back seat for a while.  I have signed up for my 1st official 5K on Saturday, and even tho it is only 3.10 miles I am nervous.  But excited at the same time. I am 1/2 way done with the Illusion quilt.Continue reading “Hello Everyone”

Got so much done today.  It was great.  Started cleaning my sewing room and found some pieces that I put back for a while and then forgot where I put them.  I am also playing with the Stack and Wack quilt.  Once I got the hang of it, I was hooked.  I then did someContinue reading “Super Sunday”

Today I have all day to spend in my sewing room, have loads of fabric, and brain can’t decide.  I guess I will pull out some fabric and see what I come up with.  I have an idea now it is just seeing how I can get it into fabric.  Time will only tell. HowContinue reading “What to make now…..”
