Posting again

 I must return to the blog. Since the weather has turned warm in May, I spend as much time as possible in the studio. The water was turned on and the bathroom made functional for guests over the Memorial Weekend. Of course there was a plumbing leak which made us turn the water off again. The toilet was made functional by mid-June and so I have been sewing and spreading out all over -happier than a pig in slop :)
I did the machine quilting on this wall hanging with my domestic machine - Janome Jem Gold, I think. I need to add some more hand embroidery to the crow and the flowers. I'll probably wait until Fall or when I need a take-along hand project.
This summer I have done a lot of sit-down quilting in the farmhouse. I put entries in the Russell County Fair in June - won blues and reds for 14 of the 15 items for  a little money. I need to take some more pictures of my projects as I have already forgotten what has been done since the fair. I will try to do something on the blog every week from now on.
