Yesterday was “paint to your hearts content” day. Along with a Texas friend we painted, stamped and printed on anything lying lose in the sewing room. From the top: paper backed fusible web, necktie interfacing, marbled fabric scraps, fusible fleece and a dark polyester sueded fabric. Creative soul sisters (and brothers) will know how fun it is to just play and maybe,without planning, have some interesting results. I feel an artsy project or two or maybe even three coming on!

My husband built me a sewing room at our winter home. I have had a small seeing table which has served me well. However, this year I really wanted to be able to do more quilting with comfort. This morning Mike at Tracey’s Tables delivered and installed my new addition. This afternoon I have making good use of it. When I finish this humanitarian quilt I have couple more plus 2-3 for me. It’s sew wonderful!!

This little quilt-to-be was made from leftovers that were cut incorrectly. I love fall leaves and am making a larger throw from the same fabrics. Ten 10inch squares leftover were to be cut into fourths of equal size. After the first cut I realized my mistake so just kept cutting the same way. Of course I will have to embellish with Tyvek leaves, beads,etc.
