Wait, what???
I know, I know. You’re wondering if you stumbled upon the wrong blog. You’re thinking – what has she done? Where are all her beautiful threads that I so covet? What’s going on around here?
Never fear. My threads, and everything else hand stitching related, are all, somewhat, neatly stacked on the floor out of view and then not so neatly shoved into various corners, like just to the left of my sewing machine.
It kind of reminds me of Santorini where there’s one view that one can capture by photograph that is exquisite and magical and just beyond beautiful, like a fairy tale, really.
But then, if you turn just a little, you get a very different view where things aren’t quite so glistening and white, there’s garbage, the houses aren’t all pristine, and the land isn’t landscaped, but rugged and without flowers.
That’s what my studio looks like right now. There’s only one shot where everything is neat and tidy. Everything else is pretty haphazard.
The reason for all of this is that I’m taking a 2-day workshop with my friend, Pat Pauly, who is fabulous and a really wonderful teacher! I’m not much of a quilter, so this is definitely a stretch for me, but I love her work and she’s pretty terrific, so here I am, preparing for her workshop, which will begin in just a couple of hours.
Pat Pauly is also the one who sent me this piece of linen, which I’m working away on…
Wish me luck!

You got this!
Haha! I’ll keep you posted.
Yep… took me all day yesterday to move my “treasures” to clear a spot for this class.
And today watching that “space launch”.
Exciting day …
Just happy to be watching and not on it myself. ❤️
Can’t wait to see what you create.
Aw… Thx Karen. Quilting isn’t easy for me, but I love them and love the process. ❤️
LOL.
I see you subscribe to my school of thought. ‘oh god, they want a photo of my desk. Push it just off screen.’.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what you make – I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know you better, you CONSTANTLY inspire me.
