Book and block 2 for February. Good read. Wish there was a sequel. Not much color in the cover. Coordinating fabric was lack luster. #booksky #quiltsky #booksyblockproject

Paper roses. #paperflowers, #craftsky

This book is a work of art. Love it. I plan to use some of the flower meanings to craft a crepe paper flower bouquet that symbolizes this year’s political climate in the USA. 😆 #paperflowers, #booksky

Got the last stitch sewn today. SO much procrastination happened here. Was easy to piece but the free motion quilting took me forever. And then the dreaded binding. I finally found a use for the random wood fence in my yard - photo prop! 😆 #quiltsky

Got a bit of snowfall last night.

A decently mitered corner! A rare sighting in my sewing. 😆 #quiltsky

January 2025 Booksy Block project. The fabrics I picked to coordinate with the book cover were a stretch as I'm trying to use my scraps. I haven't sewn them together yet but wanted to get the block posted since January is long gone! #ritualquiltcompany #booksyblockproject #quiltsky

Hand sewing binding today. A great excuse to snuggle under a quilt and watch some shows, especially after spending an hour clearing snow from the driveway! #quiltsky

My home for 27 years, with family still in Nome. My heart aches for those lost in the crash, those I knew personally. Long nights waiting for news, for the recovery, holding my breath for victims’ names. Witnessing communities come together to support and comfort one another.
