S words

Sewn with small salvaged scraps. 

Squares and rectangles and few long strips.

Confetti, 16 1/2'' x 18 1/2''

Stitched with Perle Cotton thread.


Sewn with salvaged bias strips for binding.


Had some serious fun while shooting pictures.

"Spring is around the corner" they say...


 I don't care what the weather is like today. 

Original pattern by, Jeanna Kimball

I am stitching away...
Keeping my thoughts aligned with my stitches.

As far as I am concerned... 
Spring is here!

    1. Thanks, Sally!
      Lots of stitch and color therapy has gone on this winter. Some of it is planned and some with complete randomness :)

  4. Thanks, Caroline!
    Sometimes I just love the challenge of using up scraps and making something to see what becomes of them. The results are often more surprising and entertaining than well planed quilts.

  16. Love love love the small quilt, especially the quilting. You've got a great piece there. And the flowers are blooming here in Northern California so I am quite excited to be inspired by the bright colors popping out everywhere. My apple tree has new growth, as do the decorative pears and the olives and the cherry so we're on the way. And to top it all off-the blueberry bushes have FRUITED !~!
