Lost and Found

Thank you universe!!
My silver thimble has been missing some 7 or 8 weeks and was found on Saturday!



I was doing my best to stay calm.  I was trying to achieve the zen notion that it was only a piece of silver, that it was an "object", etc.  Inside I was very sad that I had lost a friend that I had spent untold hours quilting with.   Not to mention that it would not be with me for the quilting journey of "Mother's Garden".....

But alas, I had a feeling last week that it was still in the house, and lo and behold while doing some deep vacuuming, it was released from it's hiding place.  I felt like Sarah and the lost coin.  I did the happy dance for several minutes whooping it up.

Of course, you know who I thought did it; miss innocent



I finished setting the second set of selvage string doll quilts.  This was a really fun series to do.  And now to eventually quilt them up.


Which combo do you think was the most successful?  I think I fancy the dark one, no surprise there....

Back before the weekend with quilt along update and a tea dying tutorial.
