Today, my daughter, Andrea, came over to help me learn how to post pictures on my blog. Oh my goodness, thank God for children!  She has a different blogger, but in literally 2 seconds, shows me how easy it is to insert a photo into a post!  :-)  One comforting thought that keeps me from feeling dumb, I recall I was very intelligent as a child, until Fibromyalgia robbed me of my smarts.  Thanks to my girl, a married lady of 32, nonetheless, my girl.

So, here is the quilt I completed this weekend. I used my BabyLock Ellageo sewing/embroidery machine, to embroider some cute sewing designs on the solid fabric. I then I stitched the rest of the blocks, in the ditch. The one highlight of this project is that these fabrics were leftovers from a previous project, and I was about to get rid of them!  I am so glad I read other blogs, and enjoy going through Pinterest. Somewhere between those two, I had read a post that said 'Save Your Scraps', so I did.




Remember that Herringbone bracelet I made, while my sis-in-law came to visit?  Well, here it is!  I love the way it came out.  Lots of tutorials on you tube, which, by the way, I am so thankful for all of you that share your knowledge and expertise with us! You guys are all soooo appreciated. We actually used Cube Bead Stitching by Virginia Jensen, a good book for using cube beads, which I love.
I am making one in black and cream, will post a pic when finished.
