This was a busy week which interfered with my machine time. My Guild had our annual fundraiser (postponed since the Pandemic started) so I was busyContinue reading “Weekly Goals and To-Do Tuesday #79”

Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?

Well that’s what I am after reading Sue and Roseanne’s fun blog post today at Home sewn By Us. They received TWO nominations for the Outstanding Blogger Award. TWO blogger friends developed five questions and added them to their nomination list. In my opinion it is so perfectly deserved. Then I got to the bottomContinue reading “Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?”

I Love Thursdays #5

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.

Last half of February

This hasn’t been the most productive month I have had, but my vision in one eye is fantastic and my right eye gets operated on in a week and a half so I’m content. I did manage to keep working on my four patches for the scrappy quilt I’ve been working on. I was doingContinue reading “Last half of February”

Another Flimsy finished

They are all at different stages in their quilts so I was busy with instructions forContinue reading “Another Flimsy finished”
