birthday quilt

This quilt was made from the leftover scraps of last fall's cap project. I love the texture juxtaposition of so many denims and corduroys. The back and border are a sarong I bought in Thailand seven years ago.


The barn swallow appliques are from a vintage tablecloth. After all that piecework I got sick of driving the heavy duty thread and heavy duty needles through my heavy duty quilt. Good thing my 1940's White is a heavy duty stitchhorse! I only made it do minimal quilting and tied the rest!


Now it's all ready to celebrate, warm up, cuddle, stroll, and make forts! (So are we!)

so sorry

Dear Anyone who came out in the cold last night,

So sorry! A sneaky stomach flu hit late in the day and I had to cancel the "Archives" reception at the last minute. To salt the wound, it was bitter cold, and I do believe that the note of apology which should've graced the cafe door was overlooked.
The show is coming down on Wednesday the 30th, so the reception will not be rescheduled.

We are planning to go ahead with the sewing class tomorrow. "A Better Fit" is a workshop on basic garment alteration, at the Bobbin, from 2 to 4 pm Sunday, January 27. The cost is 30$. The are a few spaces still available.
