It was a day for some mindless embroidery. Kimberbell's Holidays & Seasonal Mug Rugs, Volume 1. If you're lucky enough to have the collection, and an embroidery machine, try a mesh stabilizer like FabriSolvy instead of cutaway. You'll be happier.
A little tribute to my friend Ginny, who died yesterday just past her 86th birthday. I knew her from our little donation quilt group. She had a big family, lots of children and grandchildren, and loved them well. She was a teacher but after she retired had a fabric dyeing business, selling at those big quilt shows we dream about going to.
I'll miss her a lot, and I'll miss going to her house. She was located on a hill high above the Ohio River, but in the city, with an incredible view. Newport and Cincinnati, river and bridges. That house just suited her. The bottom level was where the quilting magic happened, including samples that went to the quilt shows.
RIP, Ginny. Your little quilt group misses you.
