This is a reminder that I’ll hold the random draw, then post the winner for my painted tree fabric in next weeks post. I wasn’t sure how hand embroidering would go but thanks to my hoop stand I was able to finish the piece I wrote about here. I used three strands of black floss… Continue reading Tree and Bark

This seems to be the year for unplanned events. So I’m trying to roll with them. My husband will be having a procedure for his health in a couple weeks.

Sometimes things get heavy and I just need a little escape. That’s the time here right now. So I drew a little open wreath in my MeAnndering tablet (actual paper!)… …and then decided to use it as inspiration for a little free-motion quilting. My first thought was to just quilt the open wreath and then… Continue reading Free-Motion Quilting

Snow and Art Quilts
The Mister and I recently took a road trip to visit family in Reno, Nevada. We have driven through heavy falling snow a couple times in the past; this was much more enjoyable. We were traveling after a storm, the hwy had been mostly plowed and was only a little icy. There was very little… Continue reading Snow and Art Quilts
