I've had no time to sew lately, and here's why.... I've been making pattern weights, more pattern weights, and even more pattern weights! When Denise of the This-End-Up co-op asked me about doing a group order, I really thought nobody would be interested. Yes, I was wrong. : ) Making these pattern weights has been so much fun! I listened to audio books and sewing podcasts on my iPod (with speakers-not headphones) while making the weights, and the time flew quickly by. Now, 125-plus weights later, I'm finished with the group order. I'm almost sad to be done, but these pictures make me happy. I tried to choose my one absolute favorite, but I just couldn't decide. So instead I chose four! For years, I've used just plain jane weights---in fact, the plain weights are still in my sewing basket. I really must make a few decorated sets for myself, don't you think? ~my favorites~ Okay, now that these weights are finished, I'll be back to sewing again. I have all kinds of plans in the works... happy sewing, Ruth
