This past year and already into the new year I have been busy teaching French Boutis classes and designing new patterns. I also have done several quilt trunk shows for quilt groups. After many months my new French Boutis Zippered Bag pattern is published on. As a complete kit and as a PDF downloadable pattern. The small bag when completed measures about 5 x 7. It has a 12 inch zipper and is lined with beautiful fabric.

Very excited about this project! October 3, 2014.

On The Road with Tom and Christine. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. We are close folks! We have a good friend that has an amazing green thumb. He likes Primrose plants and they grow so well for him. When I look at this rug I think about my good friend Don and all of my wonderful memories that he has been a part of. I have a little smaller piece that will go on the frame next. I have lots of yarn leftover from the rug above so I may as well use it up. It does no one any good sitting in a tub in my closet.

My new quilt is progressing quite quickly. Now there is more to show. Here is the broderie perse centre for the quilt - all cut from Tree of Life. It was a bit of a mess at first auditioning the pieces - so hard to visualise at that stage! Some drafting of patterns.

I decided to go with a random layout, not in color order. For the Monday Star Count. Have a great week! Hand Piecing Purple Hexagons. Stitching, Reading and Relaxing.

So yay, one less fight in the world because I taught Xander about Angry Numbers. If only I could always remember to use my own Angry Number. Monday, February 17, 2014. Sunday, November 17, 2013.
