I hope everyone is having a great day todday. So far this is a very quiet morning and just another day in these times. The other day I was out weeding and deadheading my front garden.

I have been working on a wall hanging, and a Liberty Quilt lately. Then a neighbor told me of an Estate Sale selling lots of craft things. So everything went by the wayside and I went.

I saw a Lori Holt NeedleContinue reading “Play Day today”

I had a great routine going until I started making masks and then all went out the window. But I am now on track again. I had joined a SAL from Italy about March or April and then got behind. Now I am working on putting borders on the blocks and then will be puttingContinue reading “Finishing WHIPs”

Yesterday and today I have been taking photos of the things I have been making and getting our Etsy shop updated. Something I have put off doing and now have been consumed with doing this. Still so much to do so I guess tomorrow I will be taking more photos. But it has been funContinue reading “Photo Time”

I am making my pinwheels by sewing around 2 2 3/4 inch blocks put together face to face and then cutting diagonally across the blockContinue reading “Back to the Scrappy Quilt”
