Yesterday, I was feeling very frustrated working on a quilt and put the whole thing away until another time.
Today someone sent me a message with this link and it gave me a whole new perspective on things. I think we all need a nudge once in awhile.
Take time to watch and listen – it is truly heart warming.
Until Later

I started working on my “Nearly Insane” quilt and I have completed three more blocks. Five of my friends and I started this quilt in 2007. We were going to do four blocks per month with 2 side setting blocks per month, and it would have ended in March of this year. Needless to say I am a little behind schedule. But the good thing is I am not too far from the others.
The Nearly Insane quilt was pieced by Salinda Rupp, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania c. 1870. Salinda’s used very bright colors and I have tried to duplicate the colors.
Today I finished up a huge basket of ironing that has been building up. I feel so good that it is done. I tend to procrastinate on chores like that. Do you?
Until Later.

I have stepped outside the box with my last couple of quilts. I usually stick to 19th Century fabrics and quilts.
I made this Paper Doll Quilt for my granddaughter, who is four years old, I can’t wait to give it to her.
here is the back with some of the clothes. I have even had fun playing with it.
I have now stepped back into a more comfortable space. I am working on my Nearly Insane quilt. Lynne from Treadles and Treasures inspired me to get back to work on it. Lynne and her husband also collect antique sewing machines. So do stop by their blog and take a look.
Until later.

I machine quilted and finished up another project. One of the baskets is sort of catawampus but I will just say it is “primitive” or an “antique” . Better finished than perfect. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
I went to the framer this afternoon and picked up these two needlework projects. The cross is a gift to my Son and Daughter-in-law. I decided that the sampler needed something more so I hemstitched, but for some reason not all of the holes are opened as they should. It might have something to do with “warp and weft”
Until later.
