(I have no idea why these photos were difficult to post few days ago. I tried again, and voila! )

I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Trunk Show to Guild Members

A Trunk Show
Last week I presented a Trunk Show to my Guild, followed by giving a class on the Kaleidoscope block. It turned out well, and I' had planned on thanking Peg for her photos. Unfortunately, I don't know how to translate them into Blogger, but then, I've posted them over the years so ... you've seen them all. In the meantime I have to learn something new ... again. And I AM working on "trying new things".
Lesson 48624:
If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you already have.

Plenty sewing, one photo
Trying new things ... a friend asked me ... can't show more ... staying busy ... one more border ... QAYG.

Minor adjustments to border width
My packages (3 quilts) finally arrived at destination, safe and sound, but very much later than expected. One less thing to cause stress.
I always disliked the width of the border on this string quilt.

Where is my package?
Mailed USPS 1/08/25 to a niece in Wisconsin. Expected delivery was supposed to be 1/13. Today is 1/18. Sometimes the tracking number indicates the package made it and has stopped moving within a warehouse in Wisconsin, other times the message says the (same) tracking number is incorrect. Other times the recording indicates fires in Califorrnia have caused delivery issues. What gives? The surprise has become an anticlimatic gift after hearing confusing or erroneous delays.
In honor of niece's "Guard Rooster". This one started at my hands, I gave it away unfinished to a friend who has chickens, but it came back to me as a gift, and I'm sending it to a niece who owns a Guard Rooster who protects his territory.
A good floor mat for visiting babies.

One stitch off
Here's the back fabric, too cute to pass up. This goes to a niece.
