I have been slowed down lately.

I am still working, but I don't seem to have everything I need in order to move forward.  I want to make some summer shirts for my granddaughter's soft ball game.   The shirts will either be for keeping the sun off of me or keeping me a little warmer during evening games.  I have been purchasing linen for a while and now it is time to make the shirts.  So, I'm waiting for some interfacing for the collars, and cuffs.  That is slowing me down.  I also got caught up in a button collection, all red buttons, trying to organize them.  Long job,

Meanwhile, back to quilting, I've got a large quilt on a smallish frame. My frame is 8 feet and my quilt is 84", that's seven feet, leaving 6" on each side of the frame. For this project I needed backing and batting.  The top is almost 30 years old.  I'm excited about it; its a Piecemakers Calendar Quilt 1994, hand pieced in 1995 and a couple following years. I've started working on it and it is going to take time, but I will get it finished. I will post it as soon as I'm done.

This isn't an exciting post, but I am still working and moving forward.

Enjoying all my Blessings,
