Frank working hard creating and finishing up a room in the basement.. When the room is finished, it will be filled with shelves of old photos albums, paintings on the wall, some chairs to “hang out” on while reminiscing, the old fashioned way, over tiny 4″x6″ images in a book.

While Frank was working hard, I went off to a quilt guild meeting, and had fun “playing” with scrap fabric, to make up a winter-themed placemat. It’s so enjoyable when you let the fabric take the lead. I did no cutting, the shapes were just scraps…love how they look like trees now.  More to come on the basement room and the placemat, in another instalment…
