I had my first visitor here in Oregon! Stephanie flew in for a few days last week. Thursday we did a bit of sewing...
Stephanie made microwave bowl holders from some of my scrap fabrics. Isn't this cute, she fussy cut the lighthouse.
And I worked on my blackwork sampler.
Thursday night Stephanie had a bit of food poisoning (yes, it was from my cooking). So Friday was a quiet day other than going over to my mom's for dinner and cards.
The Land of Lincoln Sampler didn't sit for long. Steph and I brainstormed and decided normal borders around the quilt wouldn't look right but if I made it bigger with rail borders and more sampler blocks for cornerstones it would look good. I've got everything cut out and will start sewing again tomorrow.

The things life hands us to fill it with stories! Poor Stephanie :-( but now she gets to own the first visit 'memorable' story! It must have been wonderful to share your new home and beautiful area with her. Lovely new microwave bowl. I like your little blue pin keeper too.
LOL at Stephanie and food poisoning...that sounds exactly like something that would happen to us. I don't know if I have the story on my blog or not...but it is something else.
Your sampler is looking good!
Oh no! You still got a lot accomplished in spite of her illness.
