I thought I'd start with a quilting progress photo even though I didn't sew much at all this weekend. In the pic you can see what I did with those little 3 inch selvage blocks. They are now a part of the quilt I'm calling "Love Serendipity Family" (to fit with the theme of the KVQG show this year). It will still be quite a while until this quilt is done, but I'm happy with the progress so far.-
This is where I was instead of in front of the sewing machine ...
The beach!
See our bathing suits? My husband makes fun of my giant coat and calls me The Michelin Man, but I LOVE my coat -- it has down in it and I tell you I just don't get cold. Snow, ice, ocean breeze, bring it on! We were at the beach looking for sea glass which is a family hobby.
On another note, I've written before about the fun of having a quilt blog and all the nice people you "meet." One my of blogging buddies is Shelley of Red Quilts. She lives in New Brunswick too, but we have yet to cross paths in person. However, she left me a little goodie bag at the LQS when she was recently down in this area for a quilting retreat. In the bag was the fabric above -- I guarantee that pink and red Farmer's Market and those dinos won't escape my rotary cutter for long.
She also saved this pile of selvages for me. Is it wrong that I was as happy about the selvages as the fabric?-
