The Traveling Scrapatch



Hello from the Pacific Northwest!

I have set up my daughter's Janome Jem
 and have sewn a ...



I have also figured out how to save photos and
 type a post on the new laptop.
It has the newest Windows operating system and a touchscreen.
All of this is wonderful
but it is a learning process for me.

It has been raining ... a lot ... here.

Right now the sun is out and it is time to go out and play!

Will post more soon.

Have a happy day .. :)

Packing in the Scrapatch


I am going to visit My Girls! 

So I am packing up a small part of the scrapatch
and flying west early next week.

I am bringing some of my 365 Challenge fabrics.

I am bringing some Easter fabrics and some Minnie Mouse fabrics to make 
something for the Little Miss.
I have my mini-iron and my sewing kit.
My daughter has a small sewing machine I can use while I am there.

I am bringing gifties from myself, my hubby and some lovely quilty aunties.

Now that I have the important stuff figured out,
I shall have to remember to pack some clothes.

I will be gone three weeks but I now have a wonderful new laptop to pack with me
so I will be online sometimes.

Mostly I will playing with My Girls!

Easter with my grand-darling will be grand!

to make my

RSC Postage Stamp Quilt

This Saturday will be another



Transition Saturday

with some of the previous colors sprinkled in for fun.

Have a happy sewing day!
