A bunch of pictures coming your way!

The Girl Gang:

Back row:  Nancy, Lois, Sue, Mary
Front row:  Joyce, Leisl

 Lots and lots of partial seams in this one!  

The pieces are all together, now it needs quilting and binding.

A partial tote bag constructed, but I am lacking a good chunk of fabric for the lining.

 Leisl assembled these quilt guild blocks with her go-to sashing design.

This really pulls together a mix of blocks and makes them appear much more cohesive.

And I started work on some Christmas stockings for new members of the family.  

One for Ian, one for the next grandchild, and one for a spare!

I keep adding to our row of matching Christmas stockings, pretty soon I will need a bigger mantle!
 Pattern is out of print, designed by Thimbleberries.

 A traditional log cabin made from lots of floral scraps by Joyce.

We are enjoying the pleasure of living sorta worry free for a few days.  It's kind of surreal to be a short distance away from home geographically, but in a whole other space mentally.

I've been experimenting with the panorama feature on my new iphone, so I can show you our sewing room in one big view--

Today is our last full day here, so we are getting serious about getting some projects done!  

More to share in the near future!
