I have some friends who bought a cabin in Tahoe during the pandemic. We are going to visit them there for the first time in Oct. I thought I would make them a special host / hostess gift. Their whole family ski and snowshoe and all those Winter activities so I figured I'd make something with that Theme. I found this panel and companion fab on-line and it seemed the perfect choice for a Winter sports vib.

A Flimsy Finish!
Wednesday, August 16, 2023
Lots of Sewing not much posting...
Hi all! It was not my intention to put my posting on pause for so long. In fact I started the new year thinking I would try to post at least once a month.
Ha! That did not work out. Oh well. But I do find that posting pix of my quilts does help me keep track of my finishes in a temporal way. A record as it were. And so I will try to renew my unofficial new years resolution.
I try to sew or quilt a bit everyday to move some projects along. My efforts are somewhat random but over time I do accumulate a fair number of finishes. Here, in no particular order are most of my finishes since my last post...
It seems baby quilts were in big demand. Here are 3 that I've finished since January.
I started this quilt thinking it would make a good Vet quilt. But my daughter saw it and ask if she could give it to a friend who just had a baby boy. This pic is at the border adding stage. I did finish it but forgot to take a "finished " pic.
I made this quilt for my niece who is expecting her first child this month! We are all very excited for her especially since this baby is the first grandbaby on that side of the family! I thought the 'eye spy' theme would be fun for everyone!Wednesday, January 25, 2023
January, A Great Month of Sewing!
We are drying out now, but phewph, what a lot of rain we had! We are fortunately up in the hills on solid ground so no major damage to us personally but that series of storms did a lot of damage to many places here along the Central Coast of CA!!
For me the up-side of all that rain was a lot of indoor time for sewing. I tried to make the most of it! I got two quilt tops quilted,
