Project in the Works



Last year I made this set of placemats for a very special friend of ours and she loved them.  This year I am working on a table runner for this same friend and I attempted to upload photos of the work in progress but the photos won't load.  So perhaps tomorrow when the project is complete I'll have better luck.  I am not computer illiterate but I'm having a slow time of figuring out this blogging business.  

I've been sewing my whole life and quilting for over 22 y ears.  Two years ago I opened an Etsy shop (loveseeds.etsy.com) in addition to doing commissions by word of mouth.  I've made many many baby quilts and experienced a few sales this year when I ventured into table runners.  They are fun and quick and allow me to use charm packs and jelly rolls.  Here's an example of one I sold last  year  (here's where my lack of knowledge and frustration are really showing.  The picture at the top is what I wanted to be in this space but I can't figure out how to do that, HELP!!!!!)  

The sun is shining and I have free time until I start classes next week so I'm signing off for now.
Blessings!
