New Handwork Project


In terms of quilting, I like small, much to the amusement of my quilting friends.  I even like tiny.  However, teeny-tiny is an entirely different thing, I'm learning.  This is the kit that was backordered while I recuperated from my broken leg.  




Getting started on it was like learning EPP all over again.  My needle and thread are much finer than what I've used on other projects, and just learning how to hold the pieces while basting and stitching is different too.  Here is a picture of the first two hexagon units I've made next to my rotary cutter for perspective.  I will say this is the most portable of all quilting projects I have ever attempted.  




We had a rain event weekend before last that gave us an accumulation of 1.82 inches.  Today a dry cold front has blown in with heavy winds and accompanying fire danger.  I'll be glad when it settles down, but I think Fall will finally arrive.

Today we cast our ballots in early voting on a number of proposed amendments to the State constitution and enjoyed a stop at the local frozen yogurt place.
