What is sitting beside your sewing machine right now? It might be the project you’re working on, a pile of fabric waiting for attention, a favourite tool, a cup of tea… or something that really shouldn't be there at all! 😄 Tell us in the comments — or even better, pop in a photo. No tidying up first allowed! I’ll show you mine too. 😊

Not everything happening around here involves fabric and thread! I've been trying to make a few things around the barn look a little better, and this cupboard is currently a work in progress. As you can see, I'm very much at the halfway painting the inside stage! 😄 It did get me thinking though — sometimes it's quite satisfying to stop sewing for a while and tackle one of those jobs you've been meaning to do forever. So that's a little glimpse of what's happening here today. So I'm curious — are you a one-project-at-a-time person, or do you have several things on the go at once?

I took the challenge for "petting" my UFOs a few weeks ago and have now finished 3 quilt tops that have languished for awhile. I have to finish up some Christmas sewing over the next several months but then have my eye on the next few UFOs (yes, I have UFOs in multiples of plural if that is possible)

Would it be Japan? The USA? France? New Zealand? 😉 Or somewhere you've always dreamed of visiting? Tell us where—and why!

This morning we had an amazing frost and I thought it was time for a photo of a quilt, the sun was shining, so out I went and took this photo (even my shoes had frost on them!) and then I took a second photo and discovered this amazing dark cloud above! Things can be deceptive!
