Good morning, my friends. It's our last morning in Escondido. Some of today will be spent preparing to leave for Boulder City tomorrow. Probably I'll have a little time for sewing today. As long as I have to put everything away, I might as well get it all out again one more time. Wouldn't you agree?

So we had a casual sandwiches-and-wine day planned with our friends Debi and Jim yesterday. Before we left, I spent some time on my slow-stitching, finishing off what's in my hoop.

We are on week 3 of the True Blue QAL with American Patchwork & Quilting. Yes I am making a red version so it seems silly every time I type the words True Blue.

This block has the most pieces in it. I am a huge fan of using wooden blocks to help set the seam allowances to lay flat. This really helped on this block. I am a huge fan of Modern American Vintage’s sewing accessories. They are a treasure and future heirlooms for sure. It is usually my spurge at quilt shows to add to ...

My blog is mostly about the quilty stuff that goes on in my sewing room. If you are here for that, I won't be offended if you skip this post. 

Since I've retired, my goal has been to do more photography and learn to do it better. I've been retired a little over 3 years at this point and I'm not sure there has been much improvement in the more or the better aspirations.  Looking at how I did on my 2025 goals says a lot. 

1. Take more pictures.  Nope that didn't happen.  I ...

Oh my -- the day was filled with stories. I wasn't as productive as I would have liked, as there was a computer glitch along the way, but the issue got resolved; however, it took a LONG time. BUT I learned something new, and what used to be a two-part process is now a one-part process, so that is good! 

I futzed around with my Canva file until it was the way I wanted, then sent it to the printer, and it was ready to be picked up! I can't say enough about the folks at Sherwood Copy & Print ...

Hello and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays" sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.

I like that I had two days hibernating because of snow on Sunday and Monday.
