No doubt you've heard the story about,

The little ol' quilter who lived in a shoe, she had so many baggie projects she didn't know what to do!

It's a biography by the way.

 This is the first box I tackled.  The hardest part will be the 3 bags of triangle pieces, all different sizes.  What to do?  Any suggestions?

Tonight I opened this one, which, I'm afraid, is going to take awhile.

Up on the design wall, this represents one empty baggie, 144 hourglass squares begun about 9 years ago.  Behind it are 2 more smaller quilt tops in the works.  That's 3 empty baggies in one week, yippee.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Quilty goodness

Another winner.

 This aging beauty is currently being mended.  It seems the blocks with madder colors have disintegrated the most.

 The blocks' side strips are less than 1-1/4" wide.

 Does anyone recognize this pattern?

 The store owner is very creative in her pattern choices.

We're having another rainy and COOL day here in the south.  Thank goodness!  We need the rain and Dolly and I really appreciate the cool.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Treasure Hunt!

Here are some pictures of an incredible quilt found at a new-to-me store in town.

 Very tiny finished squares, about 7/8th of an inch.

 Isn't the border wonderful!

Later this week, I'll share more pictures from this shop.  It's so nice to welcome another quilt lover to town!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

It's pollen season

 Definitely a good day to stay inside and rest.

 My classmate's platter turned out beautifully.  I love this shot.

Here's another class that was going on simultaneously, gorgeous chairs made from trees and limbs with woven seats.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Making sawdust, one project at a time.

 This week I'm in wood turning class at the folk school and enjoying it immensely.  Above is a picture of my turned box.  The instructor is prepping the top for a wood inlay.

 Tomorrow we'll be learning to make Christmas ornaments like this one out of red cedar.

 Others in the class have turned before.

If you're interested in taking a class, sign up soon.  Summer is a busy season in this neck of the woods.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
