“Aurora”…final chapter………
The binding is on/stitched and this one is a “finish”………………………..The purple was perfect for binding… Just a reminder, the stitching was done on my Juki 2010, w/o any stitch regulation. This “Dream Big” version has become a favorite in this … Continue reading

Testing…………
Spent some time trying to set up the new ‘puter…..with Hubb’s major help. I know “social net-working” and blogs but computer language strikes fear in me cuz usually it turns out badly when I click on a (logical to me) … Continue reading

Testing……testing………
And a little ‘warm-up’ before stitching on the front panel of this hanger cover (that means I usually stitch the back panel first to get a bit of a “feel” for what is needed. See here for my previous hanger … Continue reading

Secret reveal…..part 2……………

Another Friday finish……….
I know it’s Saturday, but the day was too spent to share this one when I finished it…….and even got it blocked! As I shared in this post, there were some condition issues that required some ‘surgery’ resulting in a … Continue reading
Vintage + Tea………………
Is the current theme these days. The last piece, finished with this post, featured this sweet handwork….. and the direction of the this next cloth is equally obvious…………………. This piece began life as a “card table” size cloth but, … Continue reading
A ‘Finish’ on Saturday is…………
Definitely a “good thing”! To pick up the vintage story see here. This piece has certainly come a long ways. Many of these linen pieces have lace edging that is in very good condition, as this piece has, and I … Continue reading
50s Vintage Cloth continued………..
You may remember this from here. Since this is being used in a talk I’m giving on Vintage FMQ, I’ll be leaving part of the cloth unstitched to show how fmq changes, and gives ‘life’, to these pieces. This … Continue reading
50s Cloth….continued……..
This piece was sandwiched a while back in anticipation of stitching on it for my demo last Friday at the Killer Bees’ quilt show. Well, as often happens, my thoughts changed and this cloth has now found its way to … Continue reading
A “Friday Finish”…on Wednesday!…….
I so love the sound of that!!! Backtracking a bit to the post here,, will bring you up to speed on this one. When I purchased this, last September in Kingsport, Tennessee, I just knew it would be a great … Continue reading
Almost a UFO no longer…………..
This vintage kitchen cloth is so-o-o-o close to a finish and I’m really liking it!!!! (Story continued from this post) Just 2 more sides to finish the border…. The last 2 photos are what I decided on for the outer … Continue reading
A little kitchen vintage….moving right along……..
On this lovely 50s tablecloth from this demo/blog post and having sew much relaxing fun with the fmq. There’s no marking/stencils, just do whatever I feel like playing with….pebbles, outlining, “feather galaxy”, paisleys, “banana bunches”/”headbands”, etc. This piece is … Continue reading
Friday finish…..for Tuesday…….
I am totally convinced it’s a texture thing!! This dense quilting is so visually ‘tactile’ that I am absolutely driven to do more of it!! But for today, this finish…………

Almost finished……..
The demo I did last Saturday in Spring Grove resulted in another Hearts & Feathers micro-stipple piece. Well, not entirely done that day…actually, I could have made more progress on it than I did but the on-lookers who stopped by … Continue reading
