My booth at RMSC Holiday Bazaar

Happy Thanksgiving to all. A big thank you to everyone who attended the Rochester Museum and Science Center 49th Annual Holiday Bazaar. I had a great time and "The Sewing Husband" was joined by "The Quilting Wife." Deb did a great job talking with customers and inviting them into the booth. Tina came on Sunday and you can tell she grew up around retail. She shared knowledge and pride in the work done by both of her parents.

Deb made scrunchies, hand warmers and purse pockets to sell along side of my wall hangings and table runners. Of coarse the first sale of the day was a scrunchie! These are also available in my shop #407 at The Shops on West Ridge Road in Greece, New York. The Shops on West Ridge is a coop of over 150 vendors selling artistic creations, antiques, collectables, home decor, repurposed furniture and much more. It is located at 3200 West Ridge Road and is open Thursday through Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm with additional days in December just visit the website.

Sewing Husband with a Quilting Wife

Since my last post my wife retired and we upgraded her A1 Longarm machine to include the Butler robot. So I am now a Sewing Husband with a Quilting Wife. She has agreed to help me at the next show at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. This is a three day show Friday, Nov. 22–Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019 and my first year setting up there. I am in space 177 on the first floor, hang a right when you come in the main entrance.

I am finishing a few special orders for Christmas (this is one on the right). I am also working to get ahead on items for my shop at The Shops on West Ridge and the upcoming shows. Many events coming at the shops over the next few weeks so be sure you on their email list. Follow this link to the website and sign up for emails or go the the Facebook page and like it.

New life in my blog.

Spring Flowers, designs from Sweet Pea on batik

Is anybody out there? I have not posted an entry since last year in 2018. I get distracted by going in too many directions at once. There is Facebook and the blog and now Instagram.
It does seem like there are more connections outside my circle of friends by being on Instagram which includes a link to this blog. So I am coming back to blogging. I will be posting more of this journey into a new chapter of my life, it is not retirement. I love my Brother Dream Machine, Martelli Notions, Northcott Stonehenge and any line of batik fabric. I look forward to making connections with any or all of these companies. They say this is the way to get noticed and I love to talk about the thinks that I enjoy.

I have fun with fabric and want to share my fun with others. Here are a few of my recent creations. Stop back for more of my humorous stories of how patient my wife has been on this journey. There are already some stories on the older blogs. She is the one who encouraged me to get many of my best sewing tools, so I wouldn't keep borrowing hers. Enjoy the journey....


Within these photos you can see what I do with in the hoop embroidery. These flowers and sailboats are designs from Sweet Pea Machine Embroidery. The red, white and blue runners are what I do creating free form blocks from layer cakes. I hope to do a video and have a class outline for this soon.
