This is Blessed -- how lucky I am to have found quilting to help me manage and work through life's stresses. It's blocked, but not bound yet. Some of the process and a full picture are on my blog (link in profile). #wholecloth #aurifil #dmc #walkingfootq

We had a send off at work today for one of our colleagues who is moving to London. Another colleague "just drew" this to decorate the room. What great talent you have @carr_art ! I'm in awe!

EPP people - do you do your basting stitches in contrasting thread so they are easy to remove or matching thread so you can leave them in. Inquiring minds want to know. #englishpaperpiecing #hexies

Block 1 for @quiltsforthemaking #beesewcial theme of diversity. Given the recent U.S. Election and some disturbing hate incidents here in Ottawa this past week, this was rather therapeutic. Great theme, Kari! #inspiredbybeesewcial @shecanquilt @marci_girl

My #beesewcial block for @playcrafts's great Transitions theme. Took inspiration from @playcrafts's inspiration painting. It's going to be hard to give this one up. Approx. 14" by 24.5". #inspiredbybeesewcial @shecanquilt @spontaneousthreads @entropyalway
