Okay, where has this week gone?
Here’s the “Trip Around The World” apron. I like to think this was made from her left over quilt squares. Each square is 1″. Set on point. The binding is hand turned, just like on a quilt.

I’m feeling a little rusty. Just like the old sewing machine in the picture. Today is the first full day that I’ve been back in my studio being productive. My “to do” list is full. I’m behind on my customer quilts. I had to make telephone calls today explaining the delay. Not a good way to [...]

As you can see the new set is about [...]

I’m so happy that it has stopped raining! At least, for awhile. Look what Mike was up to. Well, somebody has to do it.
I finished up a customer quilt this morning. I loved how it turned out. I used a “contemporary” Baptist fan pattern on it. Contemporary because the lines do not meet. Notice the 1/4 [...]
