Schedule of Events....

I am more than halfway finished quilting my Flowering Snowball!  And I am loving every stitch!


When my kids were little, I would sit at the park or in a lawn chair in my yard, quilting...
These days when I quilt I am usually listening to music...at night watching a movie.
      Do you have an activity while you sew?  Listen to books?  Something I should do... Drink a glass of wine?  I don't have much luck with that....  What is your routine?

Here is the schedule for the Flowering Snowball-along...
You can hop in anytime you like and you can do as much or as little as you like.  Make a large quilt or just a block...

and as we work our way through it, you can post your pictures here 
and on Instagram use the hashtag #floweringsnowballalong you can find me on Instagram at marysdugan
Yay!

    When i sew or knit, I use something special: Ivona Reader (Text-to-speech). This is e-book reader with almost a human voice :) I recommend, very clever!

    looks good, would have loved the acrylic template but cannot justify $24 postage to the UK making in $42 in total, cannot find one for sale here

    I seem to be gradually committing myself to this :) I have no plan in mind for fabrics, but will make my own templates and wing it from there! I have only ever done one other quilt-along, an HST BOM, so this will be fun fun fun! I don't have a routine when it comes to sewing...just fling the window open, in nice weather and get to it :)

    Trying out an EPP version of this today. Your hand quilting with black thread is so pretty! Looking forward to the posts.

    Ok, so I am half a year late. But I will do it anyway. I do not know when, I do not know how, but I love this project and I have to try.
