I'm going to add from my first blog on Blogger. Not sure how well it will go, but we shall see!

Getting started

(pictures missing from Blogger)

As I sit here, looking out my sewing room window, watching the squirrels scurry around in the leaves, in the rain--I wonder what I'm doing... I'm more comfortable sewing than 'talking'.


I love to sew, I've been sewing for forever. I used to do mostly clothing when my kids were small, but now it's mostly quilting. I grew up with a mom who sewed everything, and saved all scraps for quilts. Now it's mostly fabric bought specifically for a quilt that I sew with. I sew some things for gifts, and even a few for myself. And I have enough patterns and blocks I want to make, that I'll need to live at least another couple hundred years to get it all done!


Today I'm working on a tablerunner. It's a free pattern, and poorly written--some of the cutting instructions aren't there. So I'm making my notes as I go, so that it has more complete instructions if I ever want to make it again.


And I better get back to it!

Quilter in the Pines

Sewing is a big part of my life, now mostly quilting. I still do some clothing, and really enjoy that when I find the time for it. I was born and raised in the country, but moved to a small town, and after 13 years there, I'm back in the country once more.
