Restarting My Blog

Wow, it has been a very long time since I posted on my blog (Jun 2013 to be exact).  Many things have happened since my last post.  Mom passed in 2013 from lung cancer.  Dad and I traveled on lots of fun trips and made some great memories. Dad passed in 2019 from lung issues and heart failure.  I miss him very much and think of him every day. I have now retired (thanks dad) and decided that I would give this another attempt, since I now have time.

I have spent most of 2020 working from home (Covid driven) until 1 Oct, then went into retirement mode.  I have been sewing masks (approx 600) for my dads former living center most of this year.  I have just finished up with their Christmas masks, sew I have a few weeks to sew my own stuff.  Yeah for me.

Here is a project that I worked on during our family pumpkin carving night.  This is a project from Tweetle Dee Design Company. She did a video about using fabric instead of painting it and using Mod Podge glue.  I glued my own accessories to the top corner. This was a easy and fun project to do.  Abby designs quilts on wood and then they are painted.  Great idea if you have a spot on the front of your home to hang a wood quilt instead of a barn quilt.  Here is the link to her page tweetledeedesignco.com Check out her page.  She does do classes on her wood quilts and sells the wood and patterns for her creations.

I have updated my UFO list and hope to start working the most important ones first, ie: gifts that need to be given, projects that were promised and tops that need to be quilted.  My friend Kari and I bought a HQ Sixteen and it is set up in my basement.  I have no excuses now to not get some of my tops completed.  My 2021 goal to accomplish a few of them sew I can red line and end date them on the list. 

This is Henry Winston. He is my buddy and assistant in sewing crime. He is now 11 and is such a good boy. He official duty is to sit on a finished quilting project to have his picture taken.  This is his sign of approval. He spends the day with me in the sewing room and does remind me when it is time for supper.  He has an internal clock that is usually within 15 minutes of his supper time. He is the best company worker.

Thanks for stopping by to read my blog. I wish you a very happy day!

Happy Sewing,

Tina
