i stitched and stiched and stitched (or, maybe it's a blessing that my sewing machine is on the fritz)

some of you have noticed this over the past few months

this fabric and thread has been all over the place with me since january. 

the fabric is a piece of a sheet - ever since i bought the sheets, i wanted to stitch on them . . . so when the bottom sheet wore thin, i decided it was time to give the top sheet new life . . .

and lots of color . . .

and since my sewing machine broke at christmas time and hasn't made it in to the shop to get looked at yet, i haven't been distracted by other sewing projects.

i finished the binding on the morning of may 3, and wrapped it up.  it's now living on the bed of this lovely friend

i loved every bit of stitching that i did on the quilt.  i love it enough to keep it - and that makes it the best kind of gift - does it not?

Hello from Southeastern Montana! I am Elizabeth Patten. I spent the first 34 years of my life in Minnesota. In 2015, I moved with my husband and two children to the western-most part of South Dakota and then into Montana. Now, I live, work, write, play, and breathe under the big, big Montana sky. I began this blog in September of 2008 to make note of the sunshine that can (almost) always be found.
