The guys are outside trimming a massive tree in my front yard. My brother says I didn't buy a house, I bought a tree. Yes, it is big. The tree surgeon thought he could save it after last week's mighty storm that took a limb and blew it into a lady's car. It was scary. I do love leaves in my work though and have many projects, completed and in the works, that feature leaves. One is pictured here. It is available at my etsy store.

Hansel and Gretl; He leaves a trail of woodchips to tell me where he's been and where he's gong. He counters: You leave a thread trail. What fun! I am in the midst of putting together a fower basket quilt. I used button hole stitch (by hand) to applique the baskets onto the square of Moda two-tone fabric and cut all the sashing strips. It's half-way there. With the bright blue sashing and gold corners to frame the baskets, it's quite cute. Can't wait to get it together.
I have a tendency to put the pedal to the metal when I machine sew. "I can fix that," said Pete. So he cut a little piece of wood and attached it to the foot pedal - instant speed controller! Now I only have to think about the speed of my hands when I sit and quilt. When I stand and quilt, I have the Grace Speed Controller to help me. Who would have thought a woodworker would mean so much to a quilter?
