Life seems to move forward whether I'm ready or not! I haven't accomplished as much as I would like with my sewing and stitching, but I'm making progress.

This is a scrap of fabric that I found while cleaning out a drawer. I would love to find 2 yards or so of this....so if you have some or know where I can find it, please let me know!

Quilted this last night! Need to take out and redo the binding, but otherwise I'm happy!

Miniature quilt that I made for Uncle John. He creates room boxes, so hopefully this works!

Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Emma's Produce is going Green!

Emma had her first harvest yesterday....Plums! Turns out plums aren't the biggest seller, but she is having fun and trying! Yesterday we started out with plums in plastic bags, well the box went empty (it only had a few left when we started) and I had decided that when they were gone, that was it, no more plastic baggies. So today as we prepared to put more plums out on the table, I realized I needed a better, greener option. So now Emma's Produce has unbleached food safe muslin bags! Right now I'm just writing on them with a fabric pen, but I would love for Emma to create a logo and we find a way to "print" on them. Years ago my older daughter made a "stamp" using a rubber block, so maybe that is an option. We will see! For now they are cute and Emma is enjoying the job!
