A new obsession

I stumbled across the gorgeous work of Sylvia Pippen the other day, and I just can't stay away! If you haven't seen her work or if you admire Sashiko OR applique in general --- check it out!

Quilter's Poem

The house is dusty

The floors are a mess

Kids getting fussy

I couldn’t care less

The garden needs tending

And laundry too

Some clothes need mending

What’s a quilter to do?

What’s for dinner mom?

What can we eat?

I can’t answer that now

There’s a quilt to complete!

The needle is threaded

And fabric cut out

Go play with your sister

And try not to shout!

My coffee is poured

And the music’s on low

It’s ‘me’ time right now

There’s a quilt to grow

Summer

It looks like blog-land is hit hard by summertime -- and that it is not just me :)

Between visiting family, swimming, boating, swimming, BBQing, swimming, buying fabric, and swimming ---  it has been pretty busy! I'm looking forward to hiding in my air-conditioned basement a.k.a sewing room and getting some quilting done this week.
