Reel Time

Between having very welcome houseguests, spending time with Eva, working the entire 4th of July weekend, and having my annual physical and lab tests, no sewing has been getting done.  Hence the infrequent blog posts.  I have had time to do a bit of shopping online however, and these pre cuts of Reel Time by […]

Latest Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots Kit

The latest Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots Club kit arrived last week.  I am woefully behind in the Second season of kit offerings, but will definitely get to making them.  This one is such a nice design and  the fabrics are perfect for my home. I have made perhaps five or six of the kits so […]

Retail Therapy

I ordered a couple of things from the Fatquartershop and when I took them out of the box I was so excited I took a couple of pictures to share with you.   First up are refills for the Sewline glue pen I was telling you all about.  Great for appliqué.  Next is the Farmer's […]

Dilemma, Dilemma

I know I promised to show you what's up on the design wall, but that is still a major blank space. I want to start a new project.  Something for a loved one who needs a quilt to comfort and sustain her on a difficult journey.  Not a huge bed sized quilt, but a nap […]

It’s All About the Fabric

I finally sorted out my Jacob's Ladder blocks.   I was having a ridiculous time trying to get them arranged the way I wanted them.  I outgrew the design wall and ended up laying out my last two rows on the floor under neath the design wall!  Works for me.  I was about to drive […]

Exciting Fabric Haul

 I am dying to share with you some fabric I recently purchased, not to show off, but to introduce you to some fabulous new collections you might not know about.  The fat quarters shown above are from a new group called Another Point of View by Windham Fabrics.  There are four colorways, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Apple […]

What’s Going On This Week

Technically, this photo shows what is NOT going on this week.  No progress at all on Metro, Hold the Lattice.  Not bogged down or bored with the project–no, no, far from it.  The thing is, I am getting ready to go on a trip! In a little over a week, I am meeting up with […]

Hiding Fabric

 No, I don't mean hiding fabric, as in hiding it from your family so they don't do a hoarder intervention.  I mean fabric that is hiding from YOU.  Look at that fold of fabric in the photo above.  I had purchased it maybe five years ago, and it has been sitting in a bin labelled […]

Trace

How cute is this fabric line and pattern?  It all went together pretty quickly, but as you can see, I still need to sew the blocks together.   Pattern is a Little Bites by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, and the fabric is High Street by Lily Ashbury.  I totally copied one of the versions of the […]

The Mailman Came.

Holy Cow.  I really  need to knock off on the chardonnay before shopping on the internet.  The mailman came and there were certainly a lot of packages with my name on them.  Sara said, "Mom.  It's like Christmas".  Oh dear.  Well, I can tell you, that I have definitely beefed up my non-existent Happy Fabric […]
