While on the 2019 summer motorcycle trip, we stopped at Ocean Waves Quilts in Eureka, California. Travelling by motorcycle doesn't leave much room for impulse purchases. One that I made room for was the Cactus Wall hanging project. The other was two fabric panels by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman fabrics.

Workbasket – Boutis Sachets
I love-love the look of white on white embroidery and quilting. For our knitting group Christmas gift exchange I wanted to try my hand at Boutis quilting and thought lavender sachets would be the perfect small project to try. The first time seeing Boutis quilting was the Tristan and Isolde quilt. Then I saw the… Continue reading Workbasket – Boutis Sachets

A Nice Long Weekend with Lady Friends
Recently I spent a nice long weekend with some of my lady friends. It was especially wonderful because I hadn't seen any of these friends for a very long time.

Workbasket – Layette progress and a new project
Now that I have finally finished DW's birthday quilt (from last year), I gave myself permission to start a new project. I can share it with you here, because MIL & FIL both don't FB and/or read this blog. So, knitting ladies, don't spill the beans! While on summer motorcycle trip, I snuck in a… Continue reading Workbasket – Layette progress and a new project
