It is official!
Even though it has been a well-known fact for over a year, at least at
work, I am trading the corporate office for a home office. My resignation letter has been filed and I am
two weeks away from a four-week vacation.
I start my new position on April 1st!
I'll still be working full time but will have
flexibility with my schedule. It will
require traveling about once or twice per month but it is to Old Town
Alexandria, VA. How bad can that be?
Perhaps I will blog more than once a month which
has been the average lately J

It is Slow Sunday Stitching over at Kathy’s Quilts. My project for today is
a very special one. A dear friend from high
school lost his Dad last year and his Mom is making him a memory quilt using
his Dad’s blue jeans and shirts. He sent
me a piece of denim and asked if I would make the ‘center’ block for the
quilt. He wants the quilt to be a
tribute to his Dad. If that isn’t enough
pressure (LOL), his Mom is an expert HAND piecer and quilter.
His Dad loved to fish. My friend would often say “Pop caught fish
today….Fortunate”, so I am naming the block “Fortunate.”
My block is machine pieced but I will hand
stitch the applique’. The design is one of the blocks from Kaaren Johnston's "Camp Wilderness" pattern. The water and cornerstones are from the denim I was given. I can't wait to see it in the finished quilt.
Are you slow stitching today? Pop over to Kathy's to see what others are working on...always a lot of eye candy.
