I don't know how long it's taken me to catch up on what's been going on--but wow you gals make me look like a sewing slacker! All this talk of mini's.......hmm how did this get started?
with
GGal,
QE, and
w4me. Meanwhile
QNS is traveling across Iowa looking for the $ Tree $ I was beginning to wonder if I was going to see "confetti" fabric pieces blowing in from the south. What a treat to get together--would've loved to have driven down (I'm about 2 1/2 hours from
Carrie) but busy with wedding aftermath and county fair week.
dublb--emotions do run high when sorting through the past--and look at the memories you are making with that cute purse.
And we are all raving about the ravens that will descend

A "study" size quilt
for a grown up little girl. Nicely done,

A big "sigh" at
mirabelle's prolific and pretty quilts
Took a long nap this afternoon. I think I can start getting back to a normal life. Garden is producing lovely broccoli and lettuce. I've been wanting (needing as I have no garage) a garden shed. When my sisters and I were out and about one morning we came across this shed which will fit perfectly north of the house and west of the garden. DH and I drove back up and inspected it--it's a passive solar greenhouse (10 x 12), too. This will put a stop on some fabric purchases!!! Want to stain it a soft gray--I should be able to grow greens most of the winter too! I can't wait until it's delivered next week. Know DH would never have the time to build it for me. So now I'm researching ways to retain heat and how to grow veggies in the winter! Now off to the sewing room.
