My New Bag
My friend, Cheryl made this wonderful bag for me. It's just the right size to use for a purse, I'm going to start using it right away.
Cheryl is so creative! She makes all kinds of bags from materials that she finds in thrift shops.
I'll have to hunt for supplies for Cheryl the next time I'm out thrifting.

Baby Quilt
Geo's daughter is going to have a baby in June. I just finished this Pinwheel quilt for the new little guy.
Linda H kindly supplied the cute print for the border, the binding fabric and and the backing.
I just need to put on a label.

This Is Scary
I'm getting a quilt loaded onto the longarm frame. Wish me luck, I've never done this before!
This is rather terrifying.
By the way, I don't have a kitchen anymore, it's now a longarm machine room. I can still cook, the stove, counters, and fridge are still available to use. In my next life, I'll be rich and have a giant hobby room.

A New Machine!
We've got all the boxes from the new longarm machine hauled into the house. I'll post again when it's all set up.
I've been thinking about a longarm for about the past 20 years.
Hopefully, this will knock down the number of my unfinished projects. :)
