Putting Mum to Work!



Mum is here for a visit.  She came to the guild meeting with me last night.  It was great!  We had the very talented guest speaker, Sonja who blogs at Artisania and is an off the charts talented paper pieced pattern maker.  Check out her blog!  She has free patterns.  Gotta love that!  I have signed up for a workshop with her in September.  Happy dance!

And look at how I put Mum to work!  Not only is she an awesome blueberry picker but look!  She is busy tracing all the letters for my Proverbial quilt onto freezer paper!  This has saved me a ton of time.  I was busy sewing away while she was busy tracing.  Oh.  And talking to herself.  Yep!  But I won't tell. You go, Mum!



I love this dahlia.  It is called Wheels.  Just so you know.  Happy Friday!

    And I am envious of your thrift finds- you and those sheets I tell you, you have amazing luck! And your dahlias- swoon...!
