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.

Let's Face It!
2009 Fabric IN 65.75 yards
2009 Fabric USED 50.70 yards
2009 $ spent for sewing supplies $999.26
That figure includes ALL sewing related expenses.
Well, my fabric is increasing at a slower rate, than in previous years. Sounds like Government Budget talk, doesn't it?
Batting and backings are the big culprit.
Regarding the little quilt I'm working on, I have made 18 appliqued leaves, using the fusible interfacing method, but I poked through 4 of them - it's very thin interfacing even though I've tried to NOT poke that portion. But they are all various sizes, shapes -- NOT what I wanted. And yes, I faced 2 pineapples with the wrong side up - dang it - I am NOT paying attention! I may end up using Steam-a-Seam lite 2 instead. I'm hoping to get it to photo-stage in the next post.
Our summer heat has dissipated somewhat - Where is that Kick-in-the-Pants when a person needs it? I am LAZY!!!
