Another Smokey Summer from Quilting Studio Adventures

Which is just perfect for sewing. Can’t go out? Sew! Go to the condo gym or pool! Bake! I just baked a Muslin navy bean pie. It’s not bad! My July dozen for Sew Powerful are all set to be mailed along with the June purses. And I’ve even made a small dent in August’s purses.

My sister returned to me a quilt I made for her husband’s ENT practice in St. Joe. There was an atrium sort of space, and this tall piece (96” x 48”) hung there. I’m not quite sure what ...

I love these colors, and I loved hand quilting it. But it’s time to move on. There has been a huge pile of gorgeous greens and blues fabrics just begging for some interesting design.

Projects in Process from Quilting Studio Adventures

Why do I think I need an even number of purses to mail to Sew Powerful? I have 18 completed and think I need two more before mailing. But I’ve been distracted by the lure of other projects. Evenings I’ve been hand quilting a project that I am still so in love with. I’m may be half way done and am enjoying every stitch.
