Cocktails and Thread: Sooo excited to try this...
http://cocktailsandthread.blogspot.com/2015/02/sooo-excited-to-try-this.html
February 4, 2015. Sooo excited to try this. So I discovered that you could put your home machine on a quilt frame. And so the quest began. I began researching all of the options, there are a number of frames available for a range of prices. My focus was on space saving and ease of use and set up. So I saw a few other possible options, however the reviews and such pushed me away from it. And then it was put together and shipped promptly and arrived in 3 days. Sweet. See the images below. Did you ever get ...

http://cocktailsandthread.blogspot.com/2014/09/oh-boy-in-blink-of-eye.html
September 13, 2014. Oh boy . In the blink of an eye. Sooo hi blogosphere. I guess this is why I am fortunate to have Instagram. There is sooo much that has been created and even more ideas that have been brewing. How does one find the time to cover all things. Health, fitness, running, golf, work, and the most important exercise. Creativity. Luckily I was away for a while last month and got some stitching time in. And then finally, today was able to get some ideas flowing. Here is one that I just finished.
