I have been very productive....

Last week was a week of catching up with old friends. It was great to see so many people who mean a lot to me, because I have fond memories of things we did together: gardening, visiting museums, quilting, cooking, drinking coffee or having lunch.... Did I promise to come back next year? I think I did......

At the end of my visit I spend a long weekend with 62 other women and 1 man. With only sewing on our minds and it was wonderful!! What a lot you can achieve if you don't have to clean, cook and grocery shop!!
Look at the blocks I made for my barn quilt. The barns will still get some animals appliquéd on the grass.

Organizing my sewing room

This weekend my son helped me putting up some shelves. Now I have to do the rest!!
I have found some treasures while unpacking and reorganizing. On a photo board, I made myself while living in Shanghai, I stuck some pictures from quilt outings in the US. And finally I can display my quilts on the wooden rack I bought while traveling to the Amish community in Indiana.

Some pictures I found while going through all my papers. I stuck them on my Chinese fabric covered photo board.
