In fact, I can imagine you having a one-woman show with every single miniature quilt that's still in your possession. Each given it's own space, I'm sure they would fill at least one wall of a gallery.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-18465796090588383252023-03-23T21:07:56.198-06:002023-03-23T21:07:56.198-06:00Such precision on the Burgoyne Surrounded blocks! ...Such precision on the Burgoyne Surrounded blocks! Magnificent and amazing. Like you, I find it hard to make quilts with just two colors. The only thing that saves me when I do is being able to use many different fabrics. But I see you used just one red for this one you're working on. Do you pin the tiny pieces together to sew them? I can't imagine how you could align seams if you didn't.<br />Good for you to get labels written for all your little quilts. Sixty labels is a lot!<br />Your churn dash looks great. I like them on-point and the fabric you use for the setting triangles. It seems like that sew-along just sort of fizzled.<br />Yes to kindness, and yes to it being an intentional choice. Frustration sometimes gets the better of me but always, I'm working on that choice, too.<br />I longed and hoped for a snowy winter here in Ohio, but we've had only 2 or 3 snows, all of which melted quickly. Maybe next year!<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-73139969414044321412023-03-22T19:14:15.981-06:002023-03-22T19:14:15.981-06:00Wow, it's just mind boggling, these tiny piece...Wow, it's just mind boggling, these tiny pieces and blocks. Burgoyne Surrounded, what a challenge to make tiny and yet you really do it! I hope you will enter a quilt in a show sometime and that it will be a positive experience. In fact, you could have an exhibit all your own, within a show, of your stunningly beautiful miniatures! So true, that we don't know what other people are going through, but we know they are going through something right? Your mountain view is so beautiful. Glad you aren't shoveling snow;).

Think about the fact that if you never enter a show, we who are bloggers (and I'm afraid we are dwindling fast) are the only ones who see your work. I would be thrilled to attend a show and see your gorgeous quilts hanging there. Please reconsider and enter some of your fantastic quilts!! As usual, when I look at your miniature work, I have to pick my jaw up from the floor. Just amazing!!! And, that Churn Dash is sensational! I rarely make deadlines these days either, but who cares when the end result is so beautiful!

A walk down a quiet country road might be even better than time at the sewing machine to help keep our sanity in this upside-down world.

Very few of the monthly minis I made the past couple years are labeled and I keep putting it off. Maybe your blog post will get me going 😊. Your current mini looks like another piecing masterpiece. I agree with you 100% about the ubiquitousnesses of stress and would add “loss” to that. These are part of every life and it’s important for us each to have healthy ways of coping. Sewing can be in that mix🙂.gladiquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650491174081825382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-2726062109861071952023-03-18T13:58:38.657-06:002023-03-18T13:58:38.657-06:00Your minis are amazing as always!

I came up with 105 total that got belated labels. I think I might have made only 20 all together, you're amazing. It was fun to look down the rural road toward Mt.
