Happy Labor Day

We are having a nice quiet day in our house. I took a very bad picture of the quilt. Usually I stand on a chair to take the picture, but with this on the foot I couldn’t. That being said this is the best I could do for now. Wrinkles and all. Being on 1

Life is good

It is great when everything seems to fit together. After the first 2 weeks of falling off my scooter and bending the pin in the toe, I have gotten better at this silly thing and am navigating really well.

Progress on Sawtooth Zig-Zag

It has been almost a week and lots have happened. I found out that pretty soon I will have to joint replacements in 3 toes, 1 hammer toe fixed, and a bunion removed. I have a nice little cart as I will be off my foot for 2 months. That is the worst news and

A Month has come and gone

I have finally gotten thru 3 craft fairs 2 of which were in 100 degree weather. The last one was only high 80’s and was great compared to the others. What to do now? Well I will tell you. I am testing a quilt pattern for Jamie Kalvestran Design. The name of the pattern was

When does something fun turn not fun?
