Time Marches on as Sewing Stacks Mount

Seems like an eternity since I posted anything.  My apologies to those who read my blog.  I've been busy and returned to my full-time job.  While I treat sewing as a full-time job as well it often takes a back seat to other things that seem to come along--like housekeeping, playing with cats, being with friends, etc.

My latest quilt is in progress.  I've not done a lot of hand quilting but I'm busy at it this time.  The quilt I posted earlier is the one I'm working on.  The pattern is huge spirals with smaller spirals intermittently aroudn the quilt.  It should be very modern in it's appeal and certainly very different in the approach to hand-quilting.  It would be great to say I thought of this on my own but alas the idea came from a quilt done by my best friend that is done in this spiral pattern.  It seemed so fresh and appealing so I'm copying what has already worked for someone else...and doing it shamlessly.

I'll post a picture as soon as my latest project is complete.

Happy quilting, happy sewing, happy creations of all kinds.
