sew what's new?

I have gotten the bug to sew up some clothes. Which I haven't done for a long time. The first article on my wish list was a denim skirt.  I  even brought out my serger which I think I have used maybe five times since I've been in Minnesota, the last 12 years.  I put a little ribbon on the back,so that I could tell it from the front easily.

I have finally finished the fifth grey quilt for my grand-daughter's quilt ladder!  It was a pattern from Edyta Sitar named " Sweet Blend".

I really didn't want to go out if I didn't have to.  I also finished my second row of geese for the mystery in my 3rd Saturday group. And the larger star block that was needed! Hoping for some nicer weather for The Shortest Shop Hop that is this Friday and Saturday! Don't forget to visit Colorz quilt shop and Country Fabrics !!! Chatter later , Martha.
