Scroll past the needle savers..

From the blog of:
Patchery-Menagerie
comes this wonderful reminder!!


Worth noting....today I ate some fresh spinach sauteed in butter like Grandma  used to make.

Yesterday was a very tough day with the personalities in my family.
Of course, it was I...who thought that God needed an assistant.
My son said, God didn't and if he did...he would not choose me!!
I was beside myself...then I remembered dear Mr.O'Quilts...saying to me..
"Just go Sew!!!"  So I did...hummmmm

I finished these two small quilts

Did I mention how much I love fabric????

How about this:  from Fabric Depot...RIP
the " I love you fabric" !!

Relaxation in the daytime:  Snipping


Picking the backings for my potholders...very fun.....All pinned  for sewing at
my sit and sew on Saturday.  I still have more to do...


From Carol:  A finger light for aged eyes.

Relaxation in the evening!!!!

Just so you know, life is not all fresh spinach!!

Saturdays Doings

Today was another great day...A fun baby shower (guess who was all ready with bibs and paci-holders and washcloths!!!)...A glorious fall day...and only minor symptoms...I cannot express the joy of even writing that.

 Tonight I have put together 12 potholders...all pinned to bind.  I have 8 more to go...and then I hope to go back to quilting...I am happy that there are project boxes prepared with UFO's...I will think of finishing off my quilts for our March show...later........

Potholder craziness begins..

Really, the humble potholder is the perfect present.  If you like it, it can be a trivet or hang on the wall, or you can use it...If you hate the gift, it is still useful.  It uses scraps and allows creativity and making them is a no-brainer!!  Once again, my humble tute is here.  The one below is for Doc. D.  Her husband cooks, he is from India (elephant)...and check out the backing....he teaches economics at a prestigious university in town...

I like to leave the pins in the binding till all the potholders are made. Then I do not have to change threads so often. I can group them in colorways to sew down the binding.
