Yo!

My friend, Karen, is always on the cutting edge! Pardon the pun. We have coffee on Monday mornings and she brought her little basket full of Yo-Yo's. Little gathered hearts and circles made with a plastic template you click together with a piece of cotton sandwiched between. They are sooo cute, and can be made by any novice seamstress. This gives new meaning to the act of sitting. My fingers get to stay busy, and I can use up some of the quilting scraps from my projects in my weekly class.

Quilting is creating

After a long break from my Quilting class, I am back to sewing. Finishing old projects, like this fold up bag for cosmetics (vinyl and all!) that was from our Winter session, and of course Ella's quilt which is my really first "start to finish "creation and labor of love. I have enjoyed the comradarie of the class and everyone's talented differences.
Our first class was a "quick and easy" Single Irish Chain. I made most of it during class time.
It will be a small, 40" square to put on our bed as an accent. Right now I'm feeling rather accomplished, but that won't last. A new quilt is always on the horizon!
