Happy Thanksgiving

This week I have time off work to rest and recharge.
I have been cooking . . .

Stitching . . .these blocks will make a triple irish chain variation. This pattern sews up quickly and finally I cut into an April Cornell jelly roll that has been on my shelf for two years. Time flies, doesn't it?!

Cleaning . . . well, actually, more like visiting antique malls . . . and Saturday I spotted a familiar little black box with two latches and a handle on top. Do you know the description? This is what I brought home, and I have been cleaning it . . . does that count as cleaning?! This is a Singer Featherweight sewing machine from September 1945. It's in mint condition, glossy and bright (can you see the reflection in the finish?) and I have been enjoying getting her ship shape so I can put her back into service. It's an honor to own a Featherweight and believe me, she will be treated well.


Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you a lovely Thanksgiving. May you have a moment to appreciate all you're grateful for this holiday.


This runner is two Ozark Maple Leaf blocks, which tessellate when placed together (do you see the leaves in the background fabric as well as the red, green, orange and brown?). Here is a pattern for the block.


I like to see the backs of quilts, maybe you do too...here is the back!

Happy Thanksgiving
