Maritime Eclipse

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21737) • Canada 8 Apr

For the first time in almost a week we were greeted by brilliant blue skies when we awakened. This was ideal for the eclipse. While I don’t live in the path of totality, a short 25 minute drive would bring me well past the...

Sebastian in His Winter Gear

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21737) • Canada 8 Apr

Our little travel companion was not impressed the first time we took him along for a winter trip. With the snowing and blowing he shivered and shook until I used a sock to keep him warm. It was a bit of a puzzle how to make him a...

In January we were having supper at our son’s house. It just happened to be Robbie Burns day. My job was to bring dessert. Without collaborating, I decided to make an appropriate dessert. Google is my friend. A recipe or two or...

My sewing room looks like it’s been swept by a tornado. Bits of fabric everywhere. It’ll only get worse, until I have everything tidied and put away. I’m digging through my scraps of fabric, attempting to sort and put away as I...

It’s been a long time since I’ve opened myLot. Life has been crazy. So much has happened in the last year. I’m still quilting. Call it my escape. Walking took a back seat, but my children told me I need to look after...

Procrastination, tidying My Sewing Room?

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21737) • Canada 16 Jan 23

I meant to tidy the sewing room when my most recent quilt top was completed. Things don’t always go as planned. I goofed! I opened a box….Pandora’s Box (aka the orphanage). The box with blocks that weren’t needed….weren’t...

Morley Hunt @Morleyhunt (21737) • Canada 15 Jan 23

I’ve been busy. The last few months didn’t quite go as planned. I spent a month helping out my daughter when she was ill. Lots of sewing and quilting. The kids class at the local quilt shop is going well.
