I’m back from a week in Denmark. Before Christmas I found out that my mom’s husband (sort of my step dad?-they got married after I did, but still) was dying from cancer! Lung cancer, stomach cancer, kidneys, bone marrow or spine and a cyst in his brain. I honestly didn’t think he’d make it thru …
I recently got a squishy package in the mail (actually Monday before I left on my trip) This was great to get a sunny sunflower pincushion from Sandy! Made up for a dreary cold day! I’ve also sent two pincushions to my swap partner Janorah, I just had to send two as the machine embroidered …

I applied to be an Island Batik ambassador again for 2018! part of the application you have to make a 12” block (12 1/2”)- I totally missed that if it wasn’t for the group on FB! I came up with a block in EQ using the new QUBE angles set and regular QUBE set and …
I had a fun time at the Pittsboro Street fair last Saturday, Solveig went with me early in the morning to help set up, here’s the booth all ready I later moved some things around because the guy next to me had some displays out in the front that obstructed the view of half my …
Last Friday, as you know I became an American citizen and I was pretty much bawling by the time I got there! My whole family was there, then a friend Danielle and her daughter was there and an elderly couple from church (who pretty much wants to be grandparents to our kids, they are so …
