Hello and Welcome to Sew Says Mimi....
I haven't posted in really a long time so I have some catching up to do. Hope you enjoy!!
So..last March, just a few days before the shutdown, Garden Patch Quilters, at WheatonArts in Millville, NJ judged and hung all the quilts for their biannual quilt show. They had their awards night/party, and then, the next day they took all the quilts down and returned them to their owners. It was sad that the show was canceled...the happy part? My quilt won Best of Show! I started this quilt, titled "My Favorite Things", in the summer of 2017. Hand applique is a slow process! Quilt was custom machine quilted by Eileen Mannion.
We have been incredibly busy during the pandemic...The gardens look better, the house looks better, even the drawers and closets look better! We have tried new recipes, tried new quilt patterns, and tried to exercise! It's good that the Wineworks will deliver to the trunk of your car..wish the gym could be as easily accessible!
The garage and the attic have been cleaned out..with the help of a dumpster...yes, it was that bad. Found things we thought we threw out before we moved here. Still can't find things we KNOW should be in those boxes. The good news...We now have room in the attic to store future projects for a new business that's in the works. (More about this later).
Oh, and we have a new member of our family! Perry was born June. His family is thrilled. He is about 14 weeks old in this photo...Smiling is his best thing!
More updates tomorrow!
