Mr. Wonderful and I flew into Michigan early Thursday. Those red eye flights are rough! But after a quick nap, we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Daughter #2’s house. Friday, we had a family day here. We sure missed our Michigan kids!
I snuck in a little quilting time yesterday. Today, I’ll get the binding done on this. I have severe options.
The first makes for too much black. The second is too pink. I’m sure I can find something.

My sewing room here is a continual work in progress. But I think I’ve figured out a workable solution in the short term. It still looks messier than I’d like, but it’s a work in progress.
I set up my embroidery machine last week and that necessitated a reshuffle. Here is an overall view.
Now I’ll walk around the room from right to left. Id like to redo my design wall soon. I like using foam insulation boards so I can stick pins in. When I turn on the ceiling fan, my blocks go flying!
Right to left…..Projects, Accuquilt, and ironing stations.
A table for my laptop and my embroidery machine. I brought the cabinet it is sitting on from Michigan. It holds embroidery supplies. To the left of that is a pile of stuff that will be moved out when Daughter #2’s house is done.
I picked up bed risers to raise the two tables that form my island/cutting table.
And now we are back to the beginning.
That area beyond the cutting table is a great little sitting area.
The dogs like to hang out there when I sew. When they aren’t under my feet, that is.
It is still a lot messier than I’d like. I love the enclosed storage I have back home. Until I decide what to use for that, this will do. It is functional and that is the most important thing.
Have a great day!
PS Connecting Threads has started their Black Friday sales early! Check this out.
I need to figure out how to quilt the border. A couple good movies and the quilting could be done. Speaking of good movies. The mister and I just watched this.
There is a book by the same name. I just finished the book and then I had to see this. You can find more info about it here. No affiliation, just wanted to share. Walking the Camino is a bucket list item for me. Maybe someday.
Another dream came true recently! Hubby and I took classes to learn to ride last summer. He got his bike before we left Michigan, and I found mine out here.
It’s a 2015 Harley Davidson XG 750 with a retro custom paint job.
I hadn’t ridden since our classes last summer, but after spending a lot of time practicing in the neighborhood, we ventured out to my happy place, the White Tank Mountains.
My dad rode. Here is a photo of him with his last bike, a Honda Shadow. He loved that bike. He rode when he was quite young, quit for a while, and picked it up again when I was in college. When I came home from school, he’d take me on a long ride and we’d go out for lunch.
He rode up until the summer before he went to Jesus.
