we had snow today!! Not a lot; just a light dusting.... but reminded me that it really is still Winter in this part of the world. I have been working on purses and oven mitts..... I think I will make some oven mitts for Christmas presents... this one is far too Springy.....The bags are for my sister and my mom.
I am off to Vancouver, B.C., to visit my son and THEN off to a weekend quilt retreat...... I am going to search for new fabrics at Maiwa on Granville Island and look for some pottery inspiration, as well.

Friday Fibers.......
I have quilted many Yellow Brick Road quilts - but I have never made one myself. I thought that it was time to finally make one of these quick and easy patterns. I picked fat quarters from my stash.... so it was a stash buster, too. I backed this one with purple Minkee.....No wonder the UFO pile isn't going down - I start new things.... but at least this is quilted and ready for a gift. The sun has been shining for a few days now... could this be Spring???

Well into March....
and it seems like Spring around here..... I have been working on my pottery, as well as my sewing.... These are two projects I recently finished; a sunflower and a toadstool for the garden (the toadstool is for my neighbor). I am really enjoying this new hobby.
I will be finishing up several customer quilts this week and... thinking about my applique towels for the towel swap.
