I'm finally retired and feel I can do what I love. I'm so happy to be out of the rat race! I try to quilt, read and knit as much as possible. I love to get comments and will respond to each and every one! I hope you enjoy my little blog as much as I do! Thank you for visiting me!

WIPs
I finished a project! It's a shawl but I'll be using it as a scarf. It wasn't too difficult and I really love the effect of the subtle yarn colors. I made the ruffle a little wider than the directions called for. I figured I had the yarn and a wider ruffle would only enhance the shawl. I'm happy I did it! I wish the built in sequins showed up a little better in this picture.
Here's my progress on my wall hanging so far. The sewing machine is next to be appliqued. I'm having a fun time with this. I think I've missed the quiet and relaxing art of applique. So nice to be back!
Trying to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving. I usually make 2 desserts. We're eating at my parent's house. Anyone have any ideas??
