My First Stained Glass Piece

This is my first stained glass piece! It took me all day long but was well worth the time. I forgot to take pictures during the entire process but here is one:
At this stage I had already cut and sanded all of my glass and was beginning to wrap the edges with the copper foil. Once all of the copper is on, you solder and it's pretty much done. The longest part was cutting and sanding the glass. I really enjoyed making this piece and plan to make a larger piece soon.

Sew Simple Blocks


These photos are so bad! I took them with my ipad because the battery on my camera wasn't charged. Ehhh, maybe I will take more later. I really like the orange block.I started this quilt in 2009. My mom asked about it last month and I was inspired to pull it back out. I forgot how much I liked these blocks, maybe I will finish it this year.

January Block of the Month

I have started the Block of the Month club once again. I love the idea of the club but I got to busy for it before so I had to quit. Now I don't have time to quilt much at all so the monthly block forces me into my sewing room. I hope to start incorporating Nepali fabrics into these blocks soon but I haven't found any that I just love yet. This block is going to Terry in San Larenzo, California who requested pinks, blacks and greys. I will share what I receive when it arrives :-).
