new star
This'n sort of looks like the Schwinn logo. Progress on the quilt is on hold until I get back from vacation. But then it's fall and mitten orders are rolling in... I hope I get this quilt done before its respective baby is born (always a gamble).

new quilt!
I am finally setting time aside to work on a quilt. I'm still really busy with Breaksea stuff, but I decided I needed to do something just for the fun of it. So, in a way, starting a new quilt is like a vacation.

Too many mittens!!!
Here is the breaksea upcycle facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003757688796 . I have been so busy with that stuff I haven't had any time for quilting or working on my own designs. Originally I had said I could commit 20 hours a week to taking care of breaksea for Nikolas. Now that I am doing it, it is more like 40 hours a week and it's not even the busy season. In short I am swamped.

Spring Activity
Lots going on around the dirtyard this month. The house next door is slated for demolition and the sewing studio is getting set up nicely in the new two room format. I have been mostly sewing Breaksea Upcycle projects and inventory. Lots of recycled bike hats for spring. We got accepted to two shows; St Cloud sustainability expo on Earth day and Johnstock craft fair in NE Mpls in June. Right now I am on a tour of the West coast in Seattle, combining travel with visiting friends and buying vintage fabrics. I have found tons of good scores! If anyone is in the NE Portland area, check out Knittin' Kitten on Glisan and 74th. It is run by a mother/daughter team and has tons of uncut vintage yardage,recycled yarn, buttons, notions, trims, cutter quilts and linens. I got half a feedsack for $4! Being on the rare vacation is great but I can't wait to get home and get sewing again. There is so much inspiration to bring back with me.
