Hello from Vancouver, Washington. Thanks for stopping by and checking out all my quilty projects. Didn’t work on as many things this week but still spent a few minutes each day working on something.
I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup. Check it out.
Under the Needle Last Week
I am a little light on actual projects worked on but I thought I would share what I have done.
- I cut blocks from previously stitched strip set for the rail fence quilt meant for my son Steven
- Worked on some more foundation paper pieced Month 4 blocks for the Dragonfruit BOM. Just four blocks left!
- I didn’t have time to bind and finish the February Gnome Is Where the Heart Is, but I did cut, sew, and press the hanging tabs and binding so that it should be a snap when I have time.
- I did stay focused on projects on hand.

Afterthoughts
I have spent the last two days looking at homes. Out of the 20 houses I have viewed/toured, only 4 have possiblities for a sewing studio. Finding a room big enough for the long arm has definitely been challenging especially since I really want to stay in a certain area. At least there are choices. But I have seen soooooo many homes, that I am taking a second look at my top four tomorrow. If nothing really says it’s me! I guess, I will wait. We shall see what happens. I am thinking one felt like a YES but I saw some many houses, I don’t know anymore. LOL!
House hunting is exhausting. It is another typical day here in Vancouver – overcast with drizzle. 🌧️ At least it’s not too cold.
I thought I would share this cute moment with Simba in a box. Have a great week!

Although I love house hunting, yes it is exhausting, and I hope you are able to find something perfect! Love your photo of Simba, they do love boxes, right? Take care.
