I’m still here, this week has just been really busy :)

I have actually been doing a bit of sewing, but I have been so busy with other things that I haven’t had time to take photos or post about what I am working on. Soon though! I am pretty excited because after trying to figure out how to quilt on my own, I decided to take some quilting classes. I have already finished with the one class (which was 2 nights of learning how to put together quilt blocks) & have some lovely quilt blocks to show from it. So much fun & now I am looking forward to learning about machine quilting and how to attach bindings to quilts.

Also this past week… I spent the day yesterday at this lovely blogger’s home sewing & chatting. She also helped me figure out how in the world to make a 20 inch square log cabin block for the front of my living room pillows. :) Thanks Anina, I had so much fun! Then today I had coffee & good conversation with another lovely blogger. So all in all, a very fun if busy week. :)

…but what lovely photos they are! Sounds like a lovely week too :)

Way to go on the quilt class… I’ve been contemplating taking one myself. I’ve made a couple of quilts in the past and they turned out just fine, but I’d like to know the *right* way to do things!

Sounds like you are making a great adjustment to the PNW. Lucky you, getting together with fellow bloggers. Sounds like so much fun! Jealous of your quilting class!

I drove through parts of Washington last week and it’s lovely. I could see myself living there.
