Spent the last 5 days in Athens, Oh, our new ‘home town’. It’s so beautiful and friendly – can’t wait to go:) We put an offer on a house!
Still going back and forth with the details, but it’s looking good!
And yes, I will have a sewing room – but it will have to be in the basement (which is fine by me) and it will need to be ‘designed’ – boo hoo (not!)
And I have been working on some blocks, I think.
I HAVE made some CW blocks, but have yet to take the pictures, whoops!
AND you just have to check out this fabric, prairie paisley… I’m in love!
PODCAST THIS WEEKEND, I PROMISE!!

And actually POST the shownotes that I speak of during the podcast, geesh, you learn something new every day!
This is the back of the block I posted last week! Remember the dime?
I love the texture you get with paper piecing
I super duper promise to post examples of chipboard and other cool stuff VERY soon!

OK – here is the infamous (?) block with the tiny tiny square in a square center… It is from the Civil War Book page 86/87 and the block is titled ‘Gardening’
The top photo shows my ‘tip off the old podcast’ for this week – using a small water spritzer and a wooden iron on your foundation paper piecing. With Carol Doak’s paper – the printing bleeds when spritzed – not too bad, but it does. With some non-descript paper that I must have purchases from J. Hittle; no bleeding. Go figure.
If you are interested in EQ6 – then this is the best price I found.… You need to add it to your basket for the discounted price to show up…
Book-e-Pod A Great Japanese embroidery book. You can find it at this ETSY shop .

I have been working on this project, I swear I have! And here’s proof!
I figured the best to keep their little names (or rather book refererence) clear was to label them… but how? AHA! Blue tape to the rescue!

OK – still not much to show for it – but I did receive the love letters book and have cut out the pieces for page. 13
Not bad considering last night was a work night and I usually accomplish about – um – nothing!
