Sorry for my absence lately. You know how it is, right? When real life takes over, there isn't much time to play. The "thing" that has been causing me a lot of stress at work has been moved to later this fall. I'll be hyperventilating then, but for now I have a nice long weekend to relax and hopefully work on something fun.
Since I haven't been sewing lately, I thought I would share some pictures that some lovely people have shared over at the Scrap-Basket Group. Just click on the links below to see each of the quilts. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWell I sure wish that your job would slow down a bit for you so that you aren't bringing it home and you aren't so exhausted that the thought of touching your machine is a last one! Quilting is such a stress reliever for me but I do have to have energy so I completely understand!!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see a display of your pattern designs in others quilts. Glad you had a chance to post to your blog...let us know you still kickin! Hugs!!!! Take care of YOU!!!
