My list for March was a very moderate one for me. I had some success and finishes, work on some and no progress on others due to the world crisis causing some adjustments having to be made to our lives. DH and I are self isolated because we are in the high risk category. ItContinueContinue reading “March OMG and my Favourite Finish”

March 22-28 Progress Report
It’s been a week! The emotions are erratic and I have been unsettled and disorganized. I’m sure you all can identify with these feelings. I’m telling myself it is a form of cabin fever. My list for my hoped for progress is: 1. Finish the binding on Star Crossed Plaid. On the last side. 2.ContinueContinue reading “March 22-28 Progress Report”
March 15-21 Progress Report
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”
March 15 -21 Progress and Goals
To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly.

Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
I Love Thursday
I love the fact that after 2 days of snow, the sun is shining today and we have pretty blue skies. Wednesday morning 6:00 am view before the snowfall increased.

March 8 – 14 Progress Report and Goals
All in all I can say this week was a bit of a washout for me as far as my weekly goals getting accomplished. No finishes to report, but some progress was made. I did get some progress on my Star Crossed Plaid Quilt. It should be ready for binding mid week. I only gotContinueContinue reading “March 8 – 14 Progress Report and Goals”

Joining Some More Hops
Now that I can see and sew, I decided to let a couple of squirrels take over my sewing space. I joined the Quilt Qwazy Queens Hop again this year because the theme just makes me smile. It starts March 18th and is a perfect way to celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day on March 21st. HowContinueContinue reading “Joining Some More Hops”
