A Heart for Aunty Alice

I've been busy completing this collaboration with my mom.  She gave me the centre heart block already quilted very beautifully.

Then I added the borders.  And today I mailed it off to Aunty.  It will be a nice addition to her wall to remind her of her family.

Holidays are done

Oh, sigh, the holiday is over and now I have so many things running through my head...

In a good way I assure you.  I am moving my quilt studio (well it will be a studio when it's moved - right now its a sewing room )  Our sons old room is available and I want to fill it.  It actually has a big window unlike my old sewing room that had none.  It is freshly painted and I have already started filling the closet shelves with plastic tubs of projects.  I can hardly wait to sit there in the natural light and sew.

Anyhow while I was away on holiday I did do some sewing with our darling featherweight machine - so portable...

Paper piecing don't you love it?  Well I don't but I sure like the result.

This project was on the cover of Quiltmaker's All-Time Favorites, Spring 2004, magazine.
