This is such a fun time of year. Putting up decorations, listening to favorite holiday tunes in the car and while puttering around the house.

Progress on the Japanese Art Quilt

Sunday Chat – Quilting and Tomato Pie
I have had most of the week to piddle and sew, you'd think I would have been more productive. I have projects in progress, but the stand and stare time has been massive, LOL! Plus, an entire day and a half was spent wrestling with my new embroidery machine. After playing with it for a …
