I’ve gotten a good start on the Chipmunk for my ongoing A Year in the Woods project. The bottom greenery and flowers are done so I can now get a start on the chipmunk itself. It’s such a cute little critter. I am planning on taking it easy today, watching movies and stitching. So I should be able to make good progress on this project this afternoon and evening. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.

Good morning, my friends. Our weather has returned to Portland gloom today. We're expecting sun breaks off and on through the week, but rain most every day. I haven't checked the forecast to see when the sunshine will return, but it won't be for several days.
My first stop yesterday was to stitch Tiny Treasure #46. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, and fly stitch.

My Pacific Northwest girls met in the middle and had lunch with their families. When their rooms were next to each other, they fought constantly. When Manda moved to FL to go to school, and later to Houston to work, then to Seattle, best friends! They talk every day, which makes me happy.
Is this the best description ever?
I'm working on Steph's apron. The pieces are hemmed, the pockets are hemmed and on, and the shoulder straps are added. Today I start sewing the front ...

Oh My! How time flies! The last couple weeks have been a bit of a blur for me. I can't believe in that whole time I didn't make one blog post. Thanks to all who checked up on me. And my apologies to those of you who kept checking for new posts but finding nothing.
We had our sew day event today (Saturday) and I just spent a couple hours putting everything away. I am exhausted but I wanted to share about the day.
We had a team of folks that showed up to sew some blocks for ...

After a long Bank Holiday weekend it is easy to get confused about what day of the week it is. Nella is still staying and I only worked for 2 days before going to Cardiff on a 2 day training course for a new job working remotely on Fridays. I will be answering emails for the Singer sewing machine helpline and trouble-shooting problems. Singer and Bernina are actually part of one UK distribution company so it is not that weird for me to have a side hustle involving a different brand.
I brought home a “heavy duty” model to familiarise ...
read moreI'm glad to know I'm not the only space nerd who also enjoys quilting. We live in an amazing world. People like my parents went to school in horse-drawn cutters (like a sleigh) and wagons, or they walked several miles. No electricity for my parents when they got married in 1954. No TV, no running water! And now, from the comfort of their Lazy-Boy chairs, they are watching the Artemis 2 circle the Earth while we hear everything they are saying in crystal clear voice communication.
The last 100 years have been amazing.
Not to disappoint my students ...
read moreTime to catch up on book reviews. I’ve had a bit more time to read lately, and was able to re-read Project Hail Mary after seeing the film. I loved the book so much I bought a hardback. The movie is true to the book, and I loved it, too. I’ll be looking for a Blu-ray later this year as it will be in my permanent collection. Today, I have a mix of fiction and non-fiction, with all the titles linked to Amazon for convenience if you’d like to see more. Thank you for using my links ...
read moreNo fabric out this week.
Girls day out yesterday. We stopped several places that sold fabric. I don’t usually buy fabric at quilt shops (I know, I know, if we don’t support them they won’t be there), but yesterday was the exception. I love a good scrap bag, and this one was screaming at me to take it home and make a table runner out of it.

The bag contained a section of panel, coordinating fabric and neutrals. What’s not to love?
The trick will be fitting it in between my challenge projects and still making ...
read moreJust for a change of pace this week I've put my summer cotton top I've been knitting aside. There were several very small balls of left over yarn hanging about so I decided to knit a baby hat, just to use them up. I had a little of pink, white, grey and burgundy so knitted up a striped baby hat. That didn't turn out too bad, nice easy knitting in the evenings, and I was pleased to see those tiny balls gone.

Then I came across a stalled knitting project, so pulled it out ...

We were on the road for most of the last 2 weeks. We visited My Girl for Easter. We drove down the Wednesday before to attend a behind the scenes view of the Terracotta Warrior display at the Houston Museum of Natural History. We saw this exhibit when we visited My Girl at Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful guide for the behind the scenes viewing, learned so much more than when we went through it on our own. Since Our Girl had to work, after Easter we drove up to Chappell Hill for a few days and did some wildflower ...
read moreMy mind yesterday was busy with new project ideas and thoughts of what I should be finishing but all I accomplished was a little more stitching on the diamond quilt. I have about 2 1/4 sides finished now.
I was looking at the dies for my tiniest bow tie blocks. This one is the little corners that sew onto the pieces in the next photo.
There are 4 pieces on the die on the left. After I took this photo I marked them with a black permanent pen. This bow tie will finish at 2". I have some tiny ... read more
