As soon as I finished Wine 2.0 I just knew it wasn’t going to work for me. We’ve used it a bit anyway since I’d put so much time and effort into the piece.
I’m sure this one is going to work really well for our journal.
It is an old 3-ring binder cookbook with a dozen dividers so we can arrange and rearrange our labels and notes as much as we want.
We even have a “black listed” section for truly awful wines. Ones that under no circumstance do we ever want to have again.

I fixed my mistake and sewed like a mad woman yesterday and this morning.
I’m very happy with the quilt. I made 3 edges scalloped and the top edge straight so it would fit more like a bedspread.
Stats:
- 238 denim circles cut by hand from jeans, shorts and a dress
- countless small spools of colored thread
- 46 semi circles and 192 5 in squares of fabric from my stash
- 3 band-aids…pins and my fingers don’t play nicely together
- size: 75 x 90 inches
- weight: 8lbs
See the square piece laying over the rectangular hole!!!!
AGH! I hate it when I mess up!!! Lots of sewing to rip out…
In preparation for Christmas I set aside packed away my circles quilt and promptly forgot about it. Outta sight, outta mind.
I broke out the sewing machine and iron this morning and got back to work. It’s really coming together quickly now. I was very surprised when I laid all the pieces out on the living room floor that I was only 8 circles short. Easy peasy to whip those up.
Hopefully I’ll have a completed quilt to show by weeks end!
This swap sounded kind of fun. Not your typical over the top Valentine business dripping with sap.
Just a quick ATC using mostly scraps and trash.
The substrate is a waffle box. Book text for background. The “snowflakes” are bits cut from tablecloth I cut up to use as doilies in antique bookcase. The metal is from around the neck of a wine bottle. I had to print backwards, which is no easy feat for me, with an embossing tool to make the word SNOW. I lightly grazed the raised metal with Staz-on ink to give it definition.
I’m so fascinated by hoarfrost. It is so beautiful… This time I got up close and personal with it. It’s so amazing that my little point and shoot camera can take these photos!!
