Sunshine all weekend and we hardly went out

Laura worked on her quilt top


Filling the bobbin


I wondered if any pockets on my jeans "made the cut"


They did


Pressing open seams


I took off a "double" run of towels, to cut and hem today


And since I really have little I feel like writing about, here on the back door my piece of stained glass. My neighbor likes seeing it. 


And a selfie. The fall leaf came in a thank you note.

    Sometimes pictures are the very best. And these are especially nice.

    I wish I could have stayed in. I enjoyed getting out of the house but grocery shopping is not my idea of a fun time.

    Can't wait to see the finished quilt. I think I'd like to see the stained glass as well. It's quite lovely.

    well, you know a picture is worth a thousand words so you didn't need to say much. and are the prayer flags printed on cloth and where did you get them?

      My friend Deb, the porcelain artist (of course) gave those to me last December, when I was quite despondent, pretty much for the entire universe. Yes, they are fabric, and small. I saw them in her yard, several rows, ranging from thin and frayed to brand new, and she explained them to me, and I was fascinated. I don't have a fine place to hang them out, here at the old house, but know they will be perfect at the new house.

    ‘Your home is where your stories are made and told’. The pictures tell a lovely tale of a productive weekend, what better?

    Looks like a good cozy winter day inside. Sewing, weaving, and some hot chocolate?

    The quilt and the towels both look great. Creating gives a sense of accomplishment. And selfies always make me laugh! Especially my own!

      Oh, and I haven't forgotten the pebble. I had a dream last night that I was falling off a cliff and on the way down I passed the perfect pebble. I was sad I did not have time to grab it. This is true.

    I always enjoy photos. And maybe I ought to remember that when I'm clicking through mine, looking for something to post, and going nope ... nope ... nope ... We can be too hard on ourselves, I think.

    Laura's quilt is coming right along.

    It was hard to resist the warmth this weekend, but Inside projects with the sun coming in the window is lovely also.

    A pocket in a quilt could be useful, a little hidey-hole for a midnight candy bar.
    I like your stained glass piece.
