Hello everyone. A little time unplugged has been a good thing for me. I find it essential to step away from the blog every few months for a few days to regroup. It is like a little vacation. I do a little online research but otherwise I stay silent. I discover so many interesting things to share that I find that I need to narrow the focus on a regular basis. For the creative person, that is sometimes difficult. We want to try so many things that it becomes a distraction. Narrowing the focus of our work helps us to move forward rather than just spin our wheels. 
That said, I wanted to introduce you to the creative work of one of our new members in the Sew and Sew group, meet Terri. An expert knitter, I first met her at a class where the dealer who sold us our new machines teaches us the fine points of operation. Terri says she is new to "sewing" but her efforts with these two stunning bags beg to differ. The first one is a stylish and handy little bag that could be fabricated so many ways. I like the way she contrasted the middle gusset that reads like a solid color. Very nice. The floral bag below is genius. One slips the longer handle, on the right, through the smaller handle and there you have it. Too cute, I can think of so many uses for a bag like this. The patterns are available free on All People Quilt.
But make no mistake readers, Terri can knit. She is making this stunning sweater from the top down. It is beautiful. We are looking forward for much inspiration from Terri, Welcome!
