Post Number 2

When I spoke of likeing Sue Spargo designs, this is a sample. This quilt is called "Flower Bed" and I have completed two and am working on number Three. I like the small blocks and find each one of them fun to embellish. Beads and ribbon and rick rack have taken over several containers so as to have many choices. All kinds of threads are useful to add touches of color and unique embroidery stitches. If you are looking for a smallish size quilt to try out your wool skills, this is a good one to begin on.

I have a class at Pioneer Quilts that is called The Spargonians....a combination of Spargo and Oregonians. We meet once a month on the last Sat. of the month from 11:30-2:30 to work on whatever Sue Spargo project you are currently working on. It is great for inspiration and encouragement. We just had a birthday party this last Sat. for our mentor, Sue. Join us anytime.

This book is called Book of Days and it is a template for making a handmade book that you can use for a journal or planner or make it for someone special. I am teaching this next Monday. It is fun to do and you can personalize it in so many different ways. Call Pioneer Quilts, 503.654.1555

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
