My First Post

Hello to everyone. My name is Carol and I will be blogging here at Quilted Bear Den. I work here part-time, teach classes, and hang around the shop a lot. Hopefully, I'll be able to inspire some creativity by letting you know what came to mind as I wander the shop and straighten all the fat quarters. I just must touch everything. Just today I was able to spend some creative time in my little corner of the rumpus room. I have been itching to get back to the machine for a while, with the holiday prep and everything that goes on, there has been little time to sew. The block of the month for the perpetual calendar was first on my list. A snow flake done in Hawaiian appliqué needed finishing and it came out rather nicely. So, one down and next was a new name tag for the shop. Just a little binding on the name, and two down. Next, a new curtain for the powder room window. I have been eying the Nikishi Koi fabric, thinking those koi fish swimming in the window might be kind of fun. So with one yard of fabric, some quick turning, pressing and sewing of edges, they are now swimming at my house. Check out the photo.


That was all the sewing time for today, I promised myself I would get out in the air for a walk to work on the "quilters spread" that is always threating. Can't wait to start the next project, I am thinking a messenger bag and a new wallet. Bye Bye for now. Carol
