While it is snowing back home in Poughkeepsie I am enjoying a windy but warm walk on the beach in NC, I am so happy we live here! I picked up a dozen sand dollars and many beautiful shells while walking 5 miles with a friend.......Life is good :0). Happy Thanksgiving where ever you are. Happy Sewing, Kim

Veteran's Day 2014
Thank you to all who have served and to those who are serving today.
That includes my parents, my four brothers, my sisters husband, their son and his wife,
and all the rest of the service community that have allowed us to be free.
Give thanks to these men and women when you see them in uniform and
remember Freedom is NOT free.

Japanese Fabric
DH returned from his trip to Japan just in time to miss the
typhoon that hit the area, he was very happy he could change his flight
and get out in time. While in Tokyo he found some lovely fabrics for me,
some are recycled kimonos.
My plan is to make a small hexie quilt just like Helen's, have a look it is a real beauty.

A finish that was started in 2011

to design a block. I made all the blocks for two different quilts and finally finished
one of them :0). Today I will be linking up with Amanda Jean to show my first finish

Quilting spirals
The finished baby quilt has four spirals on the top breaking the top into quarters |
I did each spiral in a different color |
It isn't as smooth as I'd like but not bad for the first try. |
Overlapping spirals |
On each side where the spirals overlapped I wrote the name of all the thread colors I quilted with: yellow, red, blue and green. I'm linking up with Amanda Jean because this is my first finish in a while :0) Happy Sewing, Kim |
