Worth the wait!


Ahhh yes, finally. See the square on the right with the red stripes . . . believe it or not, that is from the 70's.


It's a good feeling, finishing a big project. Better than chocolate even, and that's saying something.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Finally having a chance to catch up on what you've been up to. I had several months to go through - and it was a real treat! You are definitely my kind of quilter - each scrappy creation was better than the last. I've savored the fabulous quilt show to be found on your blog pages.

Oh yes - I definitely recognize that 70's fabric. Remember Gunne Sax dresses? I bought a LOT of three cotton prints to make the dress - featuring that stripe. Never did make the dress. Finally used up the three pieces in quilts - though I know there are still some scraps of it floating around in the bins in my studio.
