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.

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.

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
