So - here's the big question. I don't totally want to give up blogging, but I've obviously not been doing it for a while.
I'm considering a "travel" blog - i.e. my journey from where I am now (with completely dysfunctional sewing spaces) to a small sewing room and a "studio". Or else maybe I should just shut it down.
Suggestions? Thoughts?

Cutting Board Wednesday September 26
So, let's see what we have today.
I've seen so many lovely blocks made with crumbs, and I've been shown the "mile a minute" technique, so I decided to give it a try myself. I've been collecting tiny scraps for a while, and hadn't done anything with them, so I figured it was about time.
Stay tuned to see the progress.
What's on your table today?
Happy quilting!

Cutting Table September 19
Today's offering is something a little different.
This us a guitar strap I made from a tutorial found here.
One Shabby Chick has a lovely blog, and was very generous to share the instructions for making this. This particular strap was my second attempt. I had some monster fabric purchased just for this - and fortunately I had the perfect variegated thread in my stash.
I'll be making some more of these sometime soon, as I have a *lot* of musician friends. :-)

Cutting Table Wednesday
It has been a long, long time. Too long, in fact. It's time to bring this back. So - today is once again - Cutting Table Wednesday!
This is what was on my cutting table earlier today:
On the top is a lovely postcard which was sent to me by one of my nickel swappers. The project case holds my husband's Christmas quilt (still a flimsy), and a small quilt for donation to the local humane society (also a flimsy). There is SO much to do....
And *this* was on my ironing board a few weeks ago. I had thought of using it instead of a photo of my cutting table, but that would be cheating.
It's part of one (or more) small donation quilt in progress.
So - come on - show me what's on *your* cutting table today. Curious minds want to know.

The Next Block
Now here's a peak at the beginning of the next block. I have actually completed a few blocks already, so perhaps I'll post some pictures of them soon.
