Witch Hunt

Witchhunt1

I had a quantum burst of energy or determination or something this morning, climbed the stairs to the sewing room, and finished my "Witch Hunt" top. I had decided to make a small wallhanging/table topper for a number of reason. 1) Sewing time has dwindled lately, 2) I have some other projects that are calling to me, and 3) a small quilt will be more useful and take up less storage space.

I'm considering maybe adding an outer border. The above photos show to two fabrics I have auditioned so far for the border. What do you think? I think the grey would like good with a spider web design quilted into it. There may be others fabrics to consider. I haven't quite finished perusing my stash for possibilities.

All right, Skipper is bugging me, as he always does when I'm in the sewing room. He doesn't like me to have fun without him. Guess I'll have to take the boy downstairs.

The polka dots! I'm a sucker for polka dots!
This is going to be a cute wall hanging or table topper.

The black definitely makes it pop. Hope you feel better. The heat for us here up north has definitely made it hard to feel ambitious.

Well done! I think the polka dots add more pazazz than the gray. I have a great spider web pring that is silver on black and even Ds1 called "creepy"!

Remember to sew hanging triangles on the top two corners so it's easier to hang. :)

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
