Working with sheers and a new machine!

July 22, 2021

  Yes, my Grandson (and his parents) came for the weekend! I won’t post full photos of Little Man but look at those dimples? I’m a first-time Gramma so indulge me. They are just so stinkin cute at this age. He is starting to pontificate just a little bit. His Dad did that….still does:-) And […]

July 1, 2021

Telene is a superb and delightful instructor and patient with inept students, which I was in this class. The class was live on-line “Couched Applique as you Quilt“.

NOTE: I have two posts today. My other post is about my Really Big News! Be sure to read!! I finally made a SAQA Auction Donation Quilt that survived my abuse! You may want to review previous fails here and here. So here it ’tis in all its glory: Its title is to be determined. […]
