stitching

A fleur de lys de Florence.

embroidered for a lavender sachet.

on sunny days

On sunny days,

it's nice to put the laundry on a line

and wait while the wind blows it dry.

still here

Still here - just on a summer break, so-to-speak...

making little pillows for a yet-to-be hung porch swing... using old quilting patterns,

being lazy about ironing,

and enjoying being outside.

another round for the friendship quilt

the moon and stars on a cloudy night

a bit from Dr. Seuss

Jo's pillow

complete with the cutest and softest little pink pig ever

and iridescent applique butterflies

the holiday table

my *big* holiday project this year:the red-star table runner

quilted by hand and machine

with little white button centers

peeking

a peek at some holiday sewing...
more to follow...
can't ruin the surprise...

a little felt bird

perhaps she'll decorate my tree next month...
