Fitness Friday & Art Quilt Progress
I kicked my walking up a notch this week. It was the first full week that I really tried to hit 10,000 steps daily. I managed to get over 10k five out of seven days this week. On the two days that I didn’t, I had 9K and 6k. I have even moved up on […]

Painterly
Happy Sunday! I spent the last two mornings completely engrossed back into the Lindsey Project art quilt. I had finished her arms and legs last time and needed to work on the water and sky next. I stopped work on this for a few weeks due to time constraints and not being sure how I […]

Monday Musings

A Finish, A Start & Some Ideas
I finished my art quilt, “Amanda”. Yes, that’s the best name I could come up with at the time I made the label. I’m open to ideas….but anyway…here it is! I’m hanging it here for the interim. The first floor is an open floor plan so this is near the backdoor by the kitchen table…Not […]

New Machine Decision & Artsy Progress
So I’ve decided to say “goodbye” to this machine and trade her in! I bought this machine (Viking Sapphire 875Q) a few years ago when I was looking to upgrade to larger throat space and more functionality. It has been a great machine but I’m ready to upgrade again. This machine can be a little […]

Weekend Progress
Well, happy Monday! I’m sitting at home while my car is in the shop getting a hole in the tire fixed and new rear brakes. Not how I intended to spend this morning but now I can catch up on laundry and blog posts! See, a silver lining lies within. We had gorgeous weather over […]

McCalls/Update on my dark art quilt/Stuff
Hey there, Today I am STILL working on writing the pattern for Leahbelle’s Garden. I am having so much trouble getting my Photoshop to print the true color of the quilt for the cover. I’ve tried all the recommended fixes and now I’m praying over it. I’m at my wit’s end with that thing! I […]
