Finished


The mini quilt for the Spring Blooms Quilt Swap 2009 is finished. I can't believe it. And I learned so much from it. I hope that Rebecca Vollman of Australia enjoys it.

Taking a semi-break

I have come to a stopping point while I wait for my 1-1/2" white strips come in so I can frame my blocks. Up to this point, I was moving along quite smartly. So as not to be called a 'slacker', I decided to get busy on the pillow cases I plan to give at Christmas. I believe at last count, I had 12 or 13 ready. Then, Jimmy asked me to embroider his towels for his Buffet Beach team, so that has worked out well. I should be finished with them on Tuesday. I am doing 15 for him. I have about 4 to go. I tried to push my machine last year and it almost gave out so I am pacing myself and my machine is not straining. So, good job, me!! I expect the strips in by the weekend, so I can get the pillowcases done too! Works out well! I have been sewing fairly regularly now and I am really enjoying myself. My next thoughts are on a rearrangement of my sewing room. I wish to have more machines up: my 2 embroidery machines, my Featherweight, my little HV, and the serger. I am determined...

New block

I don’t mind people and my urge to travel has returned. Speaking of travel, my sister, Adrienne, and I went on a 14 day trip around Ireland! It was fantastic! We used cietours.com. They were fabulous and so nice and kind.  These pictures came in in reverse so start at the bottom and look up to follow our trail. This is only a bit of the pictures I took. We had quite the trip!  Book of Kells Book of Kells Book of Kells Book of Kells Taylor’s Three Rock Irish performers! ! Waterford Blarney castle. Adrienne petting the pet!  Blarney Jaunting cart ride. We went in the pour rain. When we got to the end, it stopped raining, of course! Patchwork fields in Ireland. Th...
