I like
to experiment with designs, colors, and stitches. Today's little
quilt was so fun to play with, and I used up a few more remnants.
Drunkard's
path blocks in pastels and gray are set with colorful polka dots in
two sizes and tiny black and white stripes. Borders of blue gingham
frame it up nicely. Sweet Talk is 28” square.
Quilting
on this is the best part. I've been practicing free motion ruler
stitching on my Janome Memory Craft 9400. I used the Squiggy ruler
by Angela Walters, aligning along the seams. Using gray thread, I
created two different designs.
I
enjoyed this project very much, and that's what sewing is all about
for me. Relaxation, enjoyment, learning new skills, playing with
fabric: my retirement dream come true.

The key to retirement
is to find joy
in the little things.
