Bittersweet. What I believe is the last client quilt for the year due to family health issues requiring my help and I am happy to be in a position that I can help.

Finished and in the washing machine. Parts of this quilt traveled 8500 miles on our travels out west this summer. It has been in process since December 2020. Almost every stitch was made at bee, retreat or vacation. Final assembly done at home. Gosh I love my home sewing machine! I used an open quilting design and wool batting. Oh sew soft and cuddly!

I always love the quilts that April brings to me. This one was no exception. She chose the Fusion design for her Spinning quilt and a bold variegated thread called Blaze. It is spectacular. Especially as we begin our fall season.

I finished the top! All pp and components made at retreats/traveling on my old Bernina 153. Assembly happened at home in my spacious and well equipped sewing room and lovely 770! More of that is hoped for in my future, time to sew at home. I am ready.

I took a sew day. Papers removed and assembly started on the extension. Oh I want more time. It may be a few weeks before I can sew again. Grateful it worked out to have most of the day for sew time, I needed this today.

Have you ever seen one of these?! It had to come home with me from the thrift store. Not much info about it. Brother made them for Western Auto it seems but no records. Hardly ever used, not a scratch, motor like new.

I could not resist opening this one up. Hanging in my "Waiting for Custom Quilting" closet. 2017? There are several beauties in there! I have not seen it in a while.

Doing a major flip/sorting to my 2/3rds ownership of the upstairs area to become back to 1/3rd of the area. Does putting things in a storage unit count towards paring down? This one was finished prior to my 1st surgery that went south 4/2018.

My Indigo Radial mini. I love the way our teacher

My Indigo Radial mini. I love the way our teacher @cottonandbourbon quilted hers. It is the perfect design for this piece but I wanted mine to be different and oh my gosh it is certainly different! Binding and label still to be made. Hand guided, ruler work, digital designs plus some major customization of those digital designs, most ended in the scrap pile. Who knew those quarter circle frames in zillions of sizes don't exist! What an ordeal. Do you see my birds? There are 11 of them in this piece.

I made my Mini Maker Case. Free pattern @lillyellastitchery. While camping in our new amazing travel trailer with sew much space. Much accomplished. Pieced a backing and some paper piecing on my Crimson Poppy.

Plus my Crimson Poppy is finally all cut out. I started in December and it brought me to tears in agony, trying to stand over 2 days cutting out papers, fabrics and bagging, I didn't finish. I've had a couple of shorter sessions since. What a relief! But now... I need to cut out Glacier Star Queen! Oh no, more standing. The neurologist told me last week, no more pushing myself to finish whatever it is, when I feel pain, sit down, get my leg up. Once inflamed, the nerves can't calm down. Sigh.
