It’s been quite a week of fabric fun. I’ve decided that keeping busy while DH shifts back and forth between Canadian news and American news for 6 – 10 hours a day will make me crazy if I don’t find ways to tune it out. My first finish was piecing the flimsy for my projectContinueContinue reading “March 15-21 Progress Report”

My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens
How are you all doing? I trust you are being socially responsible and isolating yourself in your sewing rooms? It sure feels like that’s all I have been doing besides normal housework and chores. I have found I’ve been spending more time on line than I usually do, but who can resist seeing what everyoneContinueContinue reading “My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens”
Project Quilting 11.6
I had bought a wedge ruler a while back and the new challenge had me thinking of how to use it in this project.

Loving our family and friends, feeling a bit scattered and concerned,ContinueContinue reading “Project Quilting 11.6”
