MIA

Missing in Action

No sewing, no blogging, because I was prepping for this:


I'm happy to report my trunk show went very well, members oohed and ahhed over my mother's quilts from the 70s, and everyone laughed on cue at my self-deprecating jokes.  Friday night I was finally able to sleep through a night without rehearsing my script in my head.

Saturday morning I woke to another gorgeous sunrise.

Sunrise 10/20/19
With several consecutive nights with very cool/cold temps, we finally have some fall color.

DH and I had several errands to run in Knoxville yesterday so we enjoyed the changing colors along the Interstate as we drove east off the plateau and down into the valley.  Unfortunately it was overcast and misting so we didn't have distant views into the Smokies.

Today will be a typical Sunday -- early choir practice followed by worship service.  Then I hope to get back into the sewing room. 

Butterflies (a/k/a Purple Haze by Villa Rosa Designs

Those butterflies have been patiently waiting on the design wall and they need to get stitched together before they fly away!

Have a happy Sunday, Y'all!

  8. Congratulations on a successful trunk show. The getting up in front of people is one of the hardest things to do, so it's a relief when it all works out. Hope you were able to get into the sewing room last Sunday and catch all those butterflies.

  10. LIBBY!!! Congratulations! I wish I cold have seen your show! Think you would like to give it again at other guilds? That's how I started out years ago. Doesn't matter how long you give lectures, it's always a relief when it goes well! Have a great day and have fun in the sewing room! Cheers to you!
