I didn't realize that you have fled the northern wastelands for New England - I shall so miss you! With my impending retirement (over 2 yrs to go...), I've been reading and reading about sewing online and I have even signed up for a lah-di-dah sewing atelier in Ottawa in the spring (Lladybird showin' us how to rustle up some Ginger jeans). How did I find you? Synchronicity? On one blog, a Bunny popped up. How many Bunnies can there be?! Then, while reading a very long thread on Pattern Review, someone referred to you as Bunny! Click on photos: it's our Bunny! Wishing you ALL the best as you go forward and, yes, I am now subscribed to your blog!Elizabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161006557653491464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-78535726509325469362019-02-04T23:44:32.535-05:002019-02-04T23:44:32.535-05:00"Art Quilting"?

He darns his own socks and sews on his own buttons--skills learned in the Navy. Together we have shared a deep appreciation for what I believe you are calling "Art Quilting". I have it in my mind that this might be something he would love to do once we have more time. We are in our 70's now and still working. He encourages me in my garment sewing, but I know he loves those quilts and that technique. When you have time to go explore this new art world please post links. I am coaxing, cajoling, nudging, etc. If he ever got into it he would do brilliant things!

The fabric store you mentioned sounds amazing! How fabulous. There is no place like that here. My Bernina dealer enlarged their store, and I was hoping that they would also increase their threads, but no such luck. I hope that you will review your purchases so that I can use your expertise to purchase some interesting thread.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-2878257387506449062019-01-02T12:52:39.999-05:002019-01-02T12:52:39.999-05:00I'm delighted that you will be including all m...I'm delighted that you will be including all manner of creativity in your posts for the coming year.

As sewers or fiber artists we all have some other underlying creative juices bubbling and love to see what others are doing. I have an almost 5 YO granddaughter and can't wait for her to show an interest in sewing. But she has the attention span of a gnat right now and I don't want to scare her off from doing something too soon. Your future posts sound very inspiring...can't wait! garnet128https://www.blogger.com/profile/14012826332532786082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-78498492403136959442019-01-02T12:17:05.893-05:002019-01-02T12:17:05.893-05:00My daughter lives right over the border as well in...My daughter lives right over the border as well in one of the Andovers. I love Henniker, such a quaint New England town with so much Character. We lived the next town South over for 21 years and now we are 2 small towns north so we are back in our old stomping grounds, feels good. I will try to email you regarding ASG. I've also hear there is one quite close to here as well. Thanks for the info and invite.

I am enjoying it but it is work as I really have to concentrate, make mistakes, redo. You know how that is. I basically started the project three times and just decided I will go with the original plan ( eye roll). It is satisfying, though, to see things coming together. I will work on a simple garment project at the same top and more to come on that. I need to have a palette cleanser in between this other more intense project. I wonder what they would call us "Soccer Mimis, Soccer Grans, Silver Soccer Moms"......hmmmmmm......Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-82024559401200957902019-01-02T12:08:25.696-05:002019-01-02T12:08:25.696-05:00We are and thanks, Faye.

I live about an hour from Henniker NH, just over the NH border in MA; I hope we can get together soon to talk about sewing, fabric, blogging, moving, etc. There's a great ASG group that meets at the Victorian Cupboard in Salem NH https://www.thevictoriancupboardsewingstudio.com and a wonderful ASDP chapter that meets monthly in various locations. You can email me through my website: creatingembellishment.com. I hope we get to meet IRL soon!

Your year sounds like ours....Happy New Year Bunny. Your year sounds like ours. We moved last year to our new home close to our daughter. Between being a daily part of the grands lives to assist our daughter (newly single) and working on updating the new house it really does not feel like I retired, which I finally did last year. Sewing room is actually two spaces now and other hobby is a third space. Evenings seem to be the most relaxing with hand work. But I wouldn't trade all this for anything. Who knew I would become a 'soccer mom' at my age!!

One of my transitions forward is to share more of my creativity that my readers haven't seen. I love to refinish furniture and just had a positive outcome on the headboard project for our master bedroom, pics and info coming. There will also be a fair amount of home dec / window treatmenst, pillows and such. I have decided my blog will express all of my creativity, not just my sewing. Do remember, however, garment sewing is my love. I was out today getting the fabrics for the portrait quilt and my mind was rushing with a top I want to make the whole time. You just can't take that out of me. At this age I think it is important to spread my wings and learn as much new as I can. Have a wonderful New Year, Carolyn , and give those babes a hug for me.

I think since your year has been one of great change and more accessibility to family that is what's reflected in your year end post. Selfishly, I do hope you blog more because I learn so much from you. I would love to hear about you teaching your granddaughter to sew, to see your new sewing room and even to see the landscaping on your new home. Also the Art Quilting is exciting...I'm not a lover of the cut, block quilts (traditional) but love the Art Quilts and out of the box pieced quilts. Look forward to your versions too!
