  #tbt The Victorian Manor (1991) I was asked to teach my pictorial house quilt method, after sharing it with my quilt guild, which started me teaching other quilters. 🥰👏 10 years later, I created my Victoriana Quilt Designs website, and have been teaching through it, ever since. ❤️ #quilting #sewing

  The spring and autumn seasons are the coldest in the house, as I don't always keep the woodstove going. Cooler temperatures seem to aggravate the feline hyperesthesia Ember lives with, so a sunny window is always a good place to spend an afternoon. To help with that, I've begun putting a hot water bottle, within a folded pillowcase, for her to lie on - which she gets quite excited about. 🥰 #ForestLiving #Canada #catmom

  Finally got to begin some enjoyable hand stitching time, but then quickly stabbed my thumb, with the needle 🪡 , and now I need to wait until it stops bleeding 🩸 * , before I can start stitching again. 🙄 *who knew there’s a drop of blood emoji! 😆 …so I’m posting this while I wait, as I knew #quilters & #stitchers & #embroidery artists would understand! 😂 #quilting #sewing #handstitching
