Outdoor sewing! I love my new studio but it has NO windows...good for fabric storage, not good for people. I pulled the machine out back onto Adam's deck in Greensboro while his band practiced inside. You mean live music AND fresh air?? I think I'll be able to get these velvet corners done after all!


Eventually the velvet corners will turn into velvet diamonds. So far only two columns are sewn together to be able to see this final design motif.

I ended up staying out here till the sun went down. Adam's bandmate, Hunter, was so kind as to bring me a lamp so I wasn't blindly ironing creases into my beautiful melons!

Latest quilt project finally in progress!! Sometimes that first step can be the hardest to motivate yourself to take. I'm titling this quilt the "Q" quilt, named after the boy who it is destined for and who used to wear all these little clothes!
