another Saturday



Here is another photo of the special quilt but this time I am in it. This quilt was from buddies in Fairbanks--special occasion?--well, I moved and they miss me I guess. I think that group calls themselves now "sewing with the saints" since they meet in a beautiful Catholic Church.

So today is Saturday and I am not keen on weekends--but the weeks fly by. Today after making Larry orange marmelade, I worked on the shaded 4-patch blocks for the swap. I have to admit I screwed up the first batch--sewing was perfect but cutting was horrible--I failed to read cut side and top at the same time and rotate--i was trying to cut them like you would a normal block to size and to square. They are kind of fun to make and I have one more set to go. Then I will be caught up with swaps for the time being. I am waiting for a comfort quilt to get here so I can put it on the Grace and get it quilted and bound and off to the recipient. So right now nothing is on the Grace.

Happiest are the days when I can spend time in my sewing room.



Gorgeous day here on the peninsula. Have not been outside but the sunshine streaming in the house has been wonderful.

That quilt looks even better with you in it! =)

I hope you went out in the sunshine. Today, we have mostly cloudy, but warm. That's the important part to me! =)
