I finished up my flag that I blogged about on the last post. I was wanting to finish another one before I posted this, but I can’t make a decision on that design. The Welcome is a SVG file I purchased on Etsy here. I loved that it included birds, so appropriate for the wildflower…

I’ve been having fun just sewing easy stuff. I belong to a group where we get together every month. Well, that was until Covid. We are now meeting again, but for lunch instead of dinner. Since we are all retired it’s so much more enjoyable to meet for lunch. We used to exchange ornaments which…
