Back to work...


Dear Mary,

Well, not real work, but at least back to itty bitty quilt blocks. And I didn't abandon you, I just got sidetracked for a while. I had to stop everything except Christmas presents, which included an afghan and full size quilt, so I've been busy. The quilt was for Bob, he seems to like it. I like it too, but I will never do a whole quilt with machine quilting in the ditch again. What a pain!

I have been making the little blocks, but certainly not at the rate of one per day. Maybe THREE years would be a more reasonable goal! I will post photos later this week, once we get some camera issues resolved. My camera is a bust, it just eats batteries and then begs for more. I've got mom's camera, but she neglected to put the cords in the bag. So that's just a temporary delay.

Okay, I will post more soon. I hope you and Bob are well.

Love,
suzie

  1. What a lovely quilt! The colors are some of my favorites. I have always thought about learning to quilt, but my passion for fiber keeps me busy with knitting, spinning, and crocheting. I have a feeling that if I try anything new in the future, it might be weaving before quilting, but maybe some day!

    1. hello there. I was surprised to see a comment on my post since I'm not really a blogger, I just do this as a type of journal. And I'm not even the journal type either!
      I am glad you like the quilt, scraps are one of my favorites. Right now, since the weather's gotten warm, Im' knitting a wool sweater. Of course.
      All kinds of fiber arts are wonderful, and there are a lot of them, don't feel bad if you can't get to every one. I will probably never make it to spinning and weaving myself, doesn't mean I can't love them anyway.
