Sew Crazy!

Two of the latest pieced table runners I can't stop making!  Just having too much fun with color and pattern while learning to sew again.  Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful spring day.....

New Studio

Remodeling was a HUGE upheaval...from this

                     
to this wonderful studio space!

     After four months we are still settling in but I spent some time creating and sewing thanks to my wonderful friends Kat, Deb and Nan.  I started two projects -

 

The first project I worked with are pieces Kat cut for me two years ago.  I knew I would get to it eventually!  It is called short stacks and was a lot of fun for it to be my first quilt top.  What's not to like - all those scrumptious Kaffe Fassett fabrics!  I still have borders to add but I started another project.  Kat and Deb found an inspiration starter-a randomly pieced background then add circles.

I was literal with my creation.  I'm sure they will post their gorgeous creations on Life in Stitches and Stitchnut.  It will have more added but I wanted to post my beginning.  After spending time with such creative friends I went into my gift bag from Gail.  I used four of her little pieced panels to practice sashing, borders and free motion quilting.  Miss M will love using this little quilt!

My new studio space is wonderful!  I'll post pics from time to time to show the organizing solutions my fabulous daughter comes up with.  I'm determined to keep an empty table top to work on - a big challenge for me!

Feeling the Love

The Ragettes receiving the LOVE from Miss M!  It is a good thing because I have been obsessed with making more ragettes.  They will be looking for adoptive homes at the Saline Summerfest August 5th 5pm to 9pm and August 6th 10am to 8pm.  Hope you can visit them.......

Introducing YeaYa's People

I have always been interested in creating "people" - from my first sawdust puppet in second grade to my latest creations.  I'm pleased to give you a first glimpse of the RAGETTES - they are part of YeaYa's People.  It takes a village you know............

Meet the Ragettes

I'll post more pics at a later date.  These are just the beginning of what Miss M named YeaYa's People.
