Note to self

It is not a good idea to edit pictures and blog while your breakfast is cooking. My hasbrown ended up pretty darn crispy......

Mary's Deacon Stole part 3

The angle on this thing is going to kill me. I have another of Mary's stoles to use as a pattern and I've still taken this apart twice and will need to do it just one more time at the join in the middle. Frustrating, but...the end result will be worth it.

Journal Quilt #4 - a little late

A Little Darkness - much light
stamped, apliqued

Here's what the writing says
Friends are angels who lift us up to our feet when our spirit has trouble reembering how to fly


I like this one - finally. One of the things I am trying to do with this is only use scraps in my scrap box. I may not always be able to because it doesn't have that many larger pieces in it, but that's part of the challenge.

Mary's Deacon Stole part 2


Mary's hoping this will be done by the 14th of February. I'm thinking the chances are good. Here's a small sample.

5" square quilt


I picked up two sets of 5" squares that just happened to go together beautifully. I was a little short to do the size I wanted, so i added the inside panel and will do some kind of applique in there. It's not my usual type of fabric choice, so it may sit awhile till I figure out what belongs in there.

Journal quilt #3


Sunshine
painted fusible web, machine quilted

My camera battery died and I've spent a while searching for my charger. Someday I really need to get organized!!
