patching patches makes patchwork

so glad I found my love of sewing again

one can sew for hours

one can't do much else in this weather 

so why not

cut and patch and sew and stitch

the radio is on

the tunes are all from the '60's and while sing 

I sew and have memories that the music brings with it

I found, on the computer, a few weeks ago an online radio

it was there to be used 

it's free so I do use it

husband says I have to have put it there but I don't remember doing that

it's called

Slacker Radio

 and you get to choose what you listen to by choosing the decade

I waft between the '60's/'70's and a little bit of "now"

it makes me bounce in my seat so that's not all bad

no news to depress you

only a few, very few ads...and if you don't like a song you can change it

it sits up top of the screen 

in the menu thingummyjig 

 and it plays in the background

 as you surf the inter-webs

but back to the patches

I'm learning as I go

try to remember all the tips and tricks I've learnt

 or look up online if I can't remember

the iron is puffing and huffing with steam to keep all those seams orderly

most of the seams are matching because I remembered the 

face seams in opposite directions and they will "lock " together and match up

the fabric cutter is sharp so I have to be careful but working with 2 1/2" strips is too hard

 I've made a few things so far

as you can see

I have a small stack of fabric I hope to get through 

lots of things running around in what is left of my mind

I've been hanging out around those very beautiful

 French embroidery sites and "quilting" places

overload is the condition of the day

I was once described as a 

Beige Person

I don't think that's true anymore

:) :) :) 

so many pretty colours

so

 very

 many
