First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 715

I left early Friday morning…The clock said 6:10 am. I left a bit earlier than I might normally need to, but I knew I needed gas. My appointment went well. He was happy I wasn’t getting a lot of side effects. My blood pressure was a little high so he added in another blood pressure …

read moreI finished another old quilt for the same person as the old black quilt. I had a vision for this quilt and I love how it turned out.
I’ve been thinking about starting the Stonefield's quilt by Susan Smith. The pattern was given to me by Barb Perrin many years ago. I’ve pulled it out several times, studied it, and put it back on the shelf. I even organized the pattern into a notebook. I’ve been watching Gretchen, Chris and Rebecca all working on the Stonefield's quilt. Gretchen was at the Jane Stickle retreat, and she was working on one of her blocks.

Good morning, my friends. It's been an action-packed couple of days. I have so much to tell you, so let's get started right away. I'll start with the sewing. After that, I'll tell you about my walk with Matthew along the Willamette River waterfront...that was yesterday. And then, I'll tell you about our dinner Thursday night. Okay? Okay. Here we go.
In the sewing room, I managed to find enough time to finish the top-stitching on the latest two blocks for the Northern Wilderness project. Here's Block #9, the Outhouse.

Well, after having to rip numerous times....I have his face done!
All it takes is one miscounted stitch and you're spending hours trying to find it!Anyway, his face is done and I've started on the bunting which is going pretty quickly. Will post another update when that's done.
Don't forget, we're doing a stitch-along at Fans Of Kitty And Me Designs on Facebook. There are prizes for the 1st 2 stitchers who complete the project.
Order your pattern from Everything Cross Stitch and join us at the group!

I’m not entirely certain at this moment. In preparation for Easter I started sourdough sweet dough for cinnamon/cardamom rolls and honey nut rolls. In my food pantry I had these jars of hazelnut, pistachio and some other kind of nut in honey that looked so tasty it was imperative that they join the sweet dough… Continue reading What day is it?
read moreI played with pink again this week, but also mixed in some other colors - but all were done using scraps. That is a win in my book.
Anzac morning dawned calm, clear and crisp. I took myself out for a short walk. The ranges are snow free today, but just a couple of days ago, they were covered in snow. Sadly, I didn't get a photo then.
Since the squares were 1.5" cut size, they lose 1/3 of their size when sewing them together.
Now shrinking in the other direction. This little colorwash took me over two hours to sew, going slowly, matching each seam.
The corners were matching well until I got to the next to last seam. I will have to pick it off and try again.
The sewn piece is laying on the same mat that the pieces were on the last few days. It was 18" of cut squares, and after sewing and pressing I expect this to be 12.5 ... read more
