I'm Here!


I didn't intend to be gone so long (has it really been a whole month???), Thanks for the wonderful emails that you missed my regular blog postings. My family has needed my attention the last number of weeks and that is my first priority, things are still up and down but at least better than a few weeks ago.

I took some pictures this morning of the projects I've been making slow progress on. Here is a Christmas candle mat I just finished, done in reds and whites. I like the sense of accomplishment from doing a smaller project.

A monthly mini I get from Daisy Cottage. I had enough fabric to make a little doll quilt as well. This one really cheered me up when I was having a very bad day.

This Little Wallet is a Valeri Wells pattern, very quick and oh so cute!

My churn dash swap blocks are a flimsy, waiting to be quilted. These blocks have been traded with a local group over the past year.

Machine quilted Pom Pom De Paris I showed here last summer.

I love how this quilt turned out.

The binding is my favourite.

This Christmas stitchery has been a UFO sitting around my sewing room for more years than I want to admit, it's time to finish this one now.

Happy Quilting.

    There's no need to explain - family should ALWAYS come first! It's good to see some finishes, isn't it? I love that little stitchery - why has it taken so long to complete?

    The prim style tree with the log cabin block caught my eye. Well, not the only thing that did but it sure is cute.

    Good to hear from you. Sorry about your family situation and hope all will improve soon. Your lovely Christmas mat and mini quilt are so festive. Absolutely love the churndash quilt top. Can't wait to see that one quilted.

    I hope things continue to improve there.

    Your projects are all wonderful. It would be hard to choose a favorite, but I love the last stitchery!!!

    Hi Wendy: Sounds like I wasn't the only one missing you! How nice. Hope things are getting back to normal for you.
    I have the same ufo and was looking for it yesterday to work on. I'm sure we started it at the same time, so I won't say how long it's been.
    Glad to see you back, take care.
