Finally, a 2015 finish! Yay me!! I was so dreading getting this quilt washed after the last two quilts with red fabrics had bleeding issues. Well, needless to say it hindered me a bit from wanting to get the binding taken care of in a timely fashi…
A 2015 Finish!
Working on Some Freehand Applique Letters
I’ve been steadily plugging along on my Fire quilt. The more I do, the less it feels like I’m fighting it. Does that make sense? Steady progress seems to free me up {emotionally} to work on other applique without feeling like I’m completely ditching th…
Smalls Sal – Feburary 2015

Friday Night Sew-In is hosted by Wendy of Sugar Lane Quilts. For me this sew-along means a push to get the sewing machine out and actually sew something, since I would normally rather just stitch or be playing with yarn. But when al…
