I guess I hadn't realized that I have let so many days slip by.
Family 'issues' sometimes just drain the energy out of a body....
But I have been stitching....
quietly....
stitching....
an explosion of color!
I also have been doing a little reading and dreaming....Sarah Fielke's Quilting From Little Things....
I must say, it is a gorgeous book....it feels good in my hands....the pictures are wonderful....and the content - SUPERB!
I love quilting books that are truly instructional....not leaving the reader wanting for more information to finish the project at hand.
This is a keeper!
Happy Monday!

it really is an explosion of color. hope things are ok with your family. fabric is always a good outlet. ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the lime green and the fussy-cut boomerangs.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is okay? You've been quiet! Your Rose Stars are great! And the sox match today! I wonder which quilt from your new book is one your list?
ReplyDeleteHope that the issues aren't major and are more of the everyday variety.
ReplyDeleteI think time goes the same place that socks go - somewhere between washer and dryer they disappear...
Your pieces are beautiful. I hope you are able to find some peace while stitching during your time of family issues.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good...lots of fun colour! Time does whip past...hope all is okay there!
ReplyDeleteEach one has a story of its own. They are very beautiful.
