2019 Finish Along
My year has begun with another unpack of my boxes and bins from the storage room to do another sort and purge!

Happy New Year
I’m hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, great food, fun times and perhaps even some time to fondle fabric. Mine was an unusual one this year.

Best of 2018
I was looking for photos for my favourite finishes of the year and discovered that I am so bad at remembering to take pictures. I’m sure that by the time I finish and need to get things in the mail, I am in too much of a hurry. At least that’s my excuse and I’mContinueContinue reading “Best of 2018”

2019 UFO List
I’ve been doing a bit of sewing and piecing to get used to my new machine. I’m more and more impressed with it. In between bits of sewing I have unpacked every box from my sewing room.

Funny how things change!
Yesterday was DH’s regular weekly doctor’s appointment in Nelson, BC. Stopped to get the groceries on my list and new SIM cards for our phones. Then I had to haul butt to the Golf course. We met Pat and signed a rental agreement. So it is now decided. After living in a 3700 square footContinueContinue reading “Funny how things change!”
Lonestar Update
This quilt is the Lonestar which has so much history attached to it. It was picked apart when a grandson spilt his grape juice on it. Then my machine crashed. Then I had to modify my design several times because I just didn’t’ have enough of the fabric to redo the original which was aContinueContinue reading “Lonestar Update”
