Today is another travel day for me. I am heading home after a week away. I have sewn and relaxed and been allowed to just be. All of my normal stuff is on hold until\u00a0 tonight or tomorrow or whenever it calls loud enough for me to pay attention.<\/p>\n

This is my last trip of the year and my last trip for awhile. Now I get to settle in at home and try to enjoy the holidays.<\/p>\n

TFQ's Hexagons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TFQ is working on two hexagon projects. The one above looks like sorbet or sherbet. It is so wonderful to look at. She is also working on a 1930s hexagon project, which is her main focus right now.<\/p>\n

She works in a similar manner to me in that she explores the process and technique thoroughly as she works on it.<\/p>\n

QL Fabric, Nov. 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Above is some additional fabric I bought at the Quilting Loft<\/a> in Ballard and at the new shop in Magnolia called Fabric Crush<\/a>. The dot fabric is an oilcloth and I plan to make a Multi-tasker tote<\/a> in the original size whether or not I decide to abandon that\u00a0 pattern completely. In carrying around the Julie tote<\/a> in the rain, I found that something with a waterproof bottom would be very nice. I am missing my clear tote<\/a> bag.<\/p>\n

Fabric Crush had a fresh look and feel. They are still stocking their store, but everything was fresh and new and wonderfully displayed. It is worth a look. I went into a bookstore as well and saw some restaurants nearby also.<\/p>\n

I bought the black and white print for some other bag, but am thinking it would make a nice skirt as well. My SIL once explained to our husbands that we didn’t see masses of fabric in the quilt store, but finished projects and possibilities. So true. Now I just need to make some of those dreams a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
