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.
