had to change my header photo because, well, it just isn't winter. so far not one solitary flake has appeared, which does not bother me one whit. i can deal with cold (courtesy LL Bean), but hate slippery, icy, snowy roads. *** it has been an unhappy week....dental appointments require a complicated regimen and a two-week window of resuming status quo. and now confined to quarters due to car issues...thank goodness for sewing! pulled out a barely started UFO...remember this?
two more ready to sew....
you can see the toile i'm using for the connecting pieces....and since you CAN teach old senior dogs new tricks, i used magic sizing to treat the fabric before cutting pieces with pesky bias edges. these are hand pieced for accuracy. *** new year brings plenty of temptation for mystery quilts, sew alongs, BOMs etc but so far have resisted. seeing my own UFOs progress is satisfying enough.
good news! miss sunny vintage singer is back in fine form but must languish at the shop until car repairs done...can't wait to bring her home and introduce her to phoebe (featherweight) and trudy (treadle)!
our family is rejoicing for a HUGE answer to prayer for one family member. i confess my faith often wavers seeing little progress on my prayer list. as we are all officially seniors, there are many needs. so today my prayer to the God of Abraham is to keep me strong and remain confident....
