WIP Wednesday

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced   It has been a long week; so far. Most of my time has been spent house cleaning.
but I did make a few table runners and I am quilting the Virginia Star quilt. It is going to take some time..that leaves me with 3 scrappy 4-patch quilt tops to hand quilt now. And of course; whatever new projects I start.
So; head on over toFreshly Pieced to see what everyone else is up to this week...Take care...and enjoy.

Wonderful Sunny Tuesday

Good morning everyone. It is a little cool; of course...but sunny and so much snow has melted. I have appointments in the city today; so won't get much sewing in today.  I wanted to explain why I have had so many little items posted lately instead of my quilts.  Since I hand quilt all of the large quilts; it takes some time.
I don't know if I mentioned it or not; but I open a little shop here in my home during the summer and fall months.  It is getting closer all the time...so; this is what I am squeezing in while hand quilting now. Around the end of April (depending on the weather)...I have to have enough large quilts and a small assortment of
little things for people to stop by and have a look at. So; in comes the pillows, wall hangings, table runners,etc.  I have been doing this for a number of year; and is a great way to meet people...I only put the larger items on my website....but not everyone can take a large quilt back with them...enters the little things...lol.  So; there you go now...my summer is tied up here at home...except on really really hot days; I take my Solstice and take off with the top down....enjoy your day...here is a pic of what I played around with yesterday....

Busy Monday

Mondays are always so busy for me...It's the morning I do the majority of my housework. Catching up after the weekend. Had our oldest grandson stay with us on Sat. night...he is 9; was very nice to spend time with him...They grow up way too fast. I did manage to do a little crafty stuff though, lol. These little bags are made from placemats...nothing fancy, but kind of cute.
