A great tutorial on a technique I mentioned before. This shows it so clearly.
Lots of things to do on this site.
Beyond Dresden is what this quilt is called . It uses the Dresden Plate ruler to advance the concept to another level.
This morning I woke up feeling ill but I got up anyway. But just for a while and then I went back to bed. When I finally got up it was afternoon. But I felt a lot better. Since I was still not feeling good enough to go out . So I sewed a bit. Remember the star blocks I have been working on for the guild I got two more done and a third almost ready to sew together. I have decided that I don't really like doing these stars and plan to take the other envelope back to the guild and trade it in for something other than stars. I want this batch to be done by Wednesday as it is guild night and I can turn them in. No problem, I will get that last block done.
Rick called today , he had to go to the eye doctor and needs new glasses. His friend told him to get something trendy. I agree with her. It will perk him up when he looks in the mirror. LOL.
Isn't this a great looking mug rug. Apples are de rigeur at the moment, Halloween and the fall harvest make them topical. They are an easy one to make. I like the red rick rack as the border. The grey neutral background is very effective.
Apple site! Hit it !
That was the day. Now I am just resting and writing. Or wresting and writing LOL.

You'll probably need a magnifying glass to see this . I think this is an amazing example of a sewing primer with beautiful examples like this one. I would love to see one in the flesh so to speak or even better to own one.
Hi there Mr. going for a walk?
He is so appealing and eager. We had a dog once that looked like this one, we called him Mr Peabody. The kids named him , where that name came from I have no idea.
A dark night, a dark cat out on a limb. Lovely silhouette. I remember my mom having a pair of pictures like this and they absolutely fascinated me as a very young child. Still like them.
Pretty pumpkins to decorate your Hallowe'en table.
That's it for me folks.
Have a great evening.
Good night
