Sunflowers Prepped
I love having a little stack of pieces all ready to stitch. They will be part of the next group of batik sunflowers. The glassine envelopes I have are too small for these, so I think I’ll start using regular … Continue reading
Batik Sunflowers 5 and 6
While a number of the sunflowers will be orange, some are going to be other colours. This green sunflower may end up being the centre of the small quilt these are destined to become. Another deep orange one. I’m thinking … Continue reading

Another Baker’s Dozen of the Tiny Drunkard’s Path Blocks
These were done over the past 5 or 6 days. Sometimes I’ll just thread a needle with one length of the cream heirloom thread I’m using for these and stitch until it’s done. Then I go back to whatever else … Continue reading
