At Studio

So the blogger.com folks changed their post editor again.  Why did they have to do that?  Now I don't know how to layout the photos and text in the way I want.  and I don't have time to learn new things.  It gives me a funny layout and spacing.  I lost my energy and motivation to blog after my boy's accident, but this might slow me down even more....but, I will try...
love echo.  too bad they've already been discontinued...
poppies from the farmers market and the growing quilt blocks...
loving these blues...
these scraps will be another quilt someday...

Sew & Tell - Miyuki's Shirt for Dad

I know it's not June. Even Mother's Day is not here yet. But, Miyuki was planning to make her dad a shirt as he requested. It is hard to find the right fabric for mens' shirts, but it is even harder if your dad is picky about what he wears. It's a good thing that your dad still cares about how he looks though, right? We all want dad to look great even after a certain age. So Miyuki found this peachy sorbet and turquoise gingham at Peapod and got an approval from her dad to go ahead to make a shirt. The result is right here! It looks great on her dad. It looks very tailored too. I know it is hard to see the fabric, but it is the same fabric I used for my Anna Tunic a while ago, which I never blogged about, but I featured it as the August 2011 cover. I'm glad that Miyuki's dad has the same taste as I do. We have matching shirts now :-) I'm sure he is so proud of her shirt as well as his amazing daughter. Great work and thank you, Miyuki!
