done!
Yes, it is done. And delivered to a very cute little girl – my little niece, Annie! The ducks are there- from Great-Grandma Amann’s leftover blocks. All of the different flowers – pansy Tulip: Another pansy: It was fun to see her wrap up in it and it does fit her sunny, happy personality!
what’s happening
I can’t remember if I showed you this block. It is the first one I completed for the friendship quilt I am working on with my friend, Veronica. This photo from 123rf.com was the inspiration: We have more layering to add. I am working on another leaf pattern now. Yes, the ducky quilt is done, but for …
because I am an optimist at heart
Yes, we are growing seedlings even though a secret dark part of me thinks that this is the winter that will never end. Winter, winter, go away (my west coast friends and family can do evil laughs now). These are Eliott’s plants. I have made considerable progress on sewing although I don’t really have any …
progress

Then I sewed around the template. Here’s the back. Then, I cut away the top, revealing the patchwork. Then, I satin stitched …
busy
I have been super productive this week, or perhaps some projects that I have slowly incrementally been working on have come to a point where they are interesting to look at. I am super glad to announce: I finished mending the utility quilt! It has been on my Get it done list for three months. …
ducky
There’s a writing saying that what ever your favorite part of the story is you should take it out. Such is this quilt: completely built around this idea of the ducky and despite my best intention the ducky doesn’t fit anywhere. Alas, poor ducky, you are resigned to the back of the quilt. You didn’t make the cut. …
