Spring Break 2010

     Trying to find little pockets of time to work but yet have fun with kids and dogs running in and out. And feeding friends and kids. And feeding more kids…

       A little ironing of 25 yards of fabric finished up from last week’s dyeing. Couldn’t waste 80 degree weather in Michigan during the month of March. I never remember that happening before. Pretty spring colors. I’ll try reds next time.

Trying to find a solution for the Lucy quilt.  Maybe this or maybe that:

 I like the uneven borders. Haven’t used borders in awhile so don’t know why I did this time. Maybe Lucy  my dog didn’t like them either.

    And trying my hand at a little piece of slow cloth which everyone seems to be intrigued with lately-including me. Old feed sacks and jeans. Can you believe I am re-visiting recycled jeans?

 I need something slower to work on after my foot surgery Wednesday-outpatient and hopefully a quick recovery. It’s my sewing foot and my driving foot. I can’t quite think of how I will do if I can’t use my foot for two weeks-which is worse case scenario.. Just need to be able to be very active by the time summer vacation comes! I love long hikes in the summer. Will be gone for a few days and returning with a new and healing foot!

Happy sewing, my friends!
