My Patchwork Life

Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

Sewing up a storm

I've been doing my best to sew a bit every single day during this holiday break. I finished quilting my niece's quilt and got the binding on just moments before they left after spending time here for the holidays.

I'm working on clues 5 and 6 of the On Ringo Lake mystery quilt simultaneously.

And I'm answering the call for quilt blocks for the California Thomas Fire.

6 blocks - super quick with my bins of precut scraps

Just three days left of break - just three days left of sewing for hours on end. How I love vacation! Back to the sewing room!

You are sewing, and I haven't had a chance to sew for a few weeks now. I'm itching to get back in my sewing room. Trying to get caught up on blog reading first. Happy New year!
