Do I remember how to blog?

I have loved sharing quilts and life stuff on Instagram for years, but lately I find myself reading blogs again.  Blogs have actual long form communication that my brain craves.  Let me give it another try.

Sewing in Starkville MS

I'm happy to be sewing again in my new home.  The new house has a pool, which keeps me away from the sewing room.  So when it rains, I sew. Today is a sewing day.



This is one of my all-time favorite "go-to" patterns, http://www.maryquilts.com/boxed-squares/

Moving

The Empty Closet is MOVING!



To prepare for the move, we are having a big yard sale. Packing and arranging details has taken over our lives at the moment, I hope to get back to sewing this summer!

Here is proof, the closet is EMPTY.  Yes, it's a technicality, but it's fun to see the glorious emptiness - and to dream about the next closet which will be bursting with fabric, patterns and dreams of more quilts.



Happy Sewing

P.S. If you are local - come to our yard sale!

Framed Rectangles

Some test blocks from my next scrap quilt. I'm using the Framed Rectangles pattern from maryquilts.com. It's one of my very favorite utility patterns.
