Still Slow Stitching!!!

-


February is just around the corner. Can you even believe it! Amazing.

January has been pretty rainy which is good for slow stitching. I believe almost 

any weather is good for stitching.

Here are some pictures of stitching going on now


Judy's Flying Pig quilt...love it


Judy's Pineapple Quilt.. I love hers more than mine!


Nancy's hand piecing. So amazing



One of my slow stitch projects...I think it may be finished.


My stitch project that I showed in progress last blog. I made a pouch out of it



I wasn't going to start another quilt for Nora anytime soon until I came across this one.
Four out of the thirteen cat blocks!! 


My Pineapple quilt..I like Judy's better!

A Book that I'm suggesting.

Poetic Cloth
by Hannah Lamb

Here is the first paragraph

Whether wispy or ethereal, crisp and graphic or blanket-like
and comforting, cloth can speak to us intimately. In this fascinating
book, renowned textile artist Hannah Lamb explores the significance behind
fabric and its uses in textile art to create richly evocative pieces with deep layers 
of meaning.

Part One is Touch
Part Two is Stitch
Part Three is Trace
Part Four is Fragment
Part Five is Mend
Part Six is Lustre

Beautiful pictures and wonderful words.

Check it out.

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...
