I've moved over here since MQB is closing down. I use my blogging space to share my needlework adventures, primarily quilting, but other fiber arts on occasion as well. I also throw in assorted bits about my family, job, garden, and other areas of my life. On occasion, I have been known to offer a political opinion or two, but I do try to keep that minimal. ;)

At the present time, I'm working on placemats that I began making to sell in the Folk Art Emporium, but since I've withdrawn from that venture, I now have a set of 8 very nice placemats to finish. Problem is--they look terrible with my dishes! Solution--Barb needs to go out and get the new set of dishes she's been threatening to get for the past 5 years or more. I would post some pix except, darn it, I seem to have misplaced my camera. I am also working on a quilt to be auctioned off at a school fundraiser in mid June which needs more attention than it's getting right now. I finished the center of a queen sized Irish Chain and need to make the pieced border and then finish it off. This one has a pale yellow background and I used batik purples, blues and greens for the chains across. I think it looks great--hope the bidders at the auction think so too. I made a throw-size quilt for the thing last year but wasn't able to attend so I don't know how much it sold for. I'll be attending the fundraiser this year so we'll see what the quilt fetches.

When I find the camera, I'll post pix.
