I got a lovely surprise after work today…a parcel from my friend Vicki in Maine! I had sent Vicki shopping for 1930s reproduction fabrics for me to use to finish my churndash quilt (my June block in the We Be Learning Bee). She has access to so many quilt shops there in Rockport Maine! We… Continue reading WIP Wednesday!

Another Look at the Sky at Night
I’ve gotten into the habit of reading quilting blogs, and I am always impressed by the fabulous photos of the quilts on them.

Stay-cation
Kelly is on holidays in the Okanagan and Fraser Valley, attending a week-long star party and visiting family & friends while I’m on stay-cation here at home.
