I think I may have fixed my photo issue. Apparently, this has been happening to a lot of people. So, I set the pixels to 2048 for photos, and hopefully, that will settle that.
I have been pretty busy the last month or so. Studying, studying, studying. I realized I needed to get back into sewing when my blood pressure spiked and stayed there. It hit me then that I hadn't sewn in about 2 weeks! The minute I sat down to do some hand sewing, I felt my entire body relax. My BP has been fairly normal since then. So, schedule in that sewing time!
I made this cute little dress:
Isn't it so cute? (ignore the untidy shelves behind it). I lined it and everything, and-ready for it- put in an invisible zipper!
Up next, pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Between my son's girlfriend and myself, we cooked down 2 pumpkins and made about 7 pies! Two went straight in the freezer for next month, the rest are gone already.
These quilt tops I got at a local flea market, and got a great deal on all 3, and a quilt! The lady didn't want to have to take them home and clean them. It took me 3 washes to get the smell out, but worth it. It's worth going to the flea market at the end of the day, people are willing to let things go for a bargain.
One of my bosses retired after 27 years with the company, 6 years of being my manager, so I decide to make her a quilt.
I am so going to miss her and her british accent!
Well, gotta go and have some more medicine, I am nursing a wicked cold and sore throat! There will be no sewing today :(
Happy quilting,
Marianne

| I had people from work sign a piece of fabric with fabric pens, heat set it, and then quilted it on the back. |
