English Garden is Growing...

Having a wonderful time with these Liberty florals.  The delicate prints are on the finest fabrics.  Hand piecing these is like reading Jane Austen in the shade...so genteel!

Easing Into My 1718 Coverlet

My first block 

and the second...

and then number three!

I joined The 1718 Coverlet Quiltalong, but I am six months behind already!!

Can You Guess??

Guess what this little gadget is...

a) wooden iron

b) seam roller

c) trapezius massager

d) all of the above

The answer is (d) and I bought one today at my guild meeting.  It is a handy "iron" for pressing seams at the sewing machine, leaves no carbon footprint, and relieves neck pain---all in one cute little power-less tool.  Oh, and I bought these luscious reds to use it on...no sleep tonight!

Still Quilting After All These Years...

This quilt was started years ago, and I have been enjoying it all along the way.  It is basted and bound now, so I can hand quilt the hexies at my leisure.  Very cozy on the cold rainy days we are having this week.
