I have a new ironing station! I shamelessly copied an Instagram photo Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) shared last week. I dragged my husband to Lowes and we easily found what we needed to create this ironing board and storage shelf. The entire project took less than a couple of hours to complete, believe it or […]
There is no sewing going on around here this week, so I thought I would share with you some other things I have been enjoying lately. First up is a nice hot cup of tea in the afternoon. I have a very pretty little Wedgwood tea pot and matching cup that I so enjoy using. […]
Well, this has sure been a wasted week. I came down with the flu on Sunday night and have spent the week in bed, each day with a new horror of a symptom. Laryngitis on Monday, faucet nose on Tuesday, fever and chills on Wednesday, and a ruptured eardrum on Thursday. I took myself to […]
Happy 2018 everyone! I can just feel it in my bones that this is going to be a great year for quilting. There are lots of great projects ahead of us. Thank you so much for all your holiday wishes. I felt like my mailbox was packed full of holiday greetings! In the hubbub of […]
Happy Holidays everyone. Thank you all so much for reading my blog in 2017. I have lots of fun ideas for 2018 and hope you will be along for the ride. I am already itching to get into the sewing room to execute some of the recent ideas for scrap busting that we have been […]
No, not a real house. We got Eva a Gingerbread House kit and had a frustrating, but ultimately fun experience building it and getting it decorated. I picked up the kit Saturday at Joann's for next to nothing (coupon) and we got right to building it when we got home. Oh my goodness, did we […]
Yesterday was pretty much my idea of a perfect day. I finished up my little friendship blocks, and will sew them together today after I switch out a block or two that I don't like. There will be a sweet little pieced border on this, and a final outer border. I am thinking it will […]
I had so much fun making these 6 1/2 inch Pineapple blocks with the Creative Grids ruler. The blocks came out so perfect. I'd love an entire quilt of these little blocks. I have to say, I think a whole quilt would take a ton of fabric. What a stash buster though. In other […]
My table is all set. I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, I but planning the tablescape is one of the things I enjoy most about holiday meals. Oh, I have been doing a bit of cooking as well. I have rolls made, cranberry sauce done, and cornbread baked and drying out for […]
I have been sewing up a storm these past few days! I got my Barn Stars all finished, and will probably put that little quilt top together after the Thanksgiving holiday. As much as I hate to drag myself away from the QE440, I do have some cooking to do for the feast day. My […]
