First, of all, I want to thank everyone
for the encouraging words that many of you shared with me.
No, I'm not hanging up my quilting needles
and tossing out all of my fabric.
I was feeling "stash obligations" and not feeling
the love or the creative challenge
that it brought.
It really did me in!
So, since I last wrote,
I have bundled up lots of fabric,
approx. 150 yards,
and sent it off to a wonderful local charitable group.
I have started some new projects,
and have continued to work on the things
that I love and bring me joy.
My latest X-stitch finish.

I am thankful for everyone's positive thoughts.

The end of September
means it's time to share a monthly mini quilt.
Vintage Baskets #2
24" x 24"
This little quilt began it's life as a full size
quilt from the 1930's.
When I received it from a friend,
it was just a top and
the 10" blocks were well loved and
very thin and frail.
I took some of the blocks apart and resized them
which made them very cute.
After sewing the top together I decided
to add embroidered flowers to each basket.
That was the "FUN" part.
When I was given this quilt top,
the original Nile Green binding was included.
It wasn't in the best shape, but I made do.
I "love" how it finished.

Time for my barbed-wire fence parade.
There was a very fog morning this week.
A perfectly quiet, uncluttered background for a photo shoot.
