Sew little time

I remember as a kid that time almost stood still.  A week of school seemed to take an eternity, not to mention how long it took for Christmas to come around.  Summer stretched on for days, nice and hot days. Time, took it's time.   But now, ZOOM there went 2013, twelve full months gone!!!  

With all that I have to do, and time not cooperating,  maybe I have to sleep less to get more work done.  

As the saying goes, "Sew many projects, sew little time."

Good luck to all who are in the same boat.

Happy Sewing!!

Can't believe I forget!!

Well, yes I can.  We are just BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, with life and business, and not to mention that the holidays are upon us too.  But, I forget to tell you about the newest magazine I'm in.

Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2014!!!

Most of you probably have this one already so you would have seen me on page 23

If not, here I am with the quilt I designed called "Black Tie Affair" 

Pretty neat, huh?!

This quilt is a bit different from my normal designs, but every once in a while you

 need to do something that's out of the box.  

Here's the same quilt in a different color way.

The fabric line is "Salt Air" by Moda.

Just thought I would share.

I have an extra copy of this magazine I would like to give away.

Please leave a comment about a project that you did that was out of your box.

I'll take comments up until Tuesday, Dec 17

Thanks for stopping by!
