I am starting my Happy Fabric collection! Truth be told, the collection in the photo above I have had for a year or so, but haven't quite had a plan as to how to use it. It is Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt for Free Spirit Fabrics. Something very special will come of this, I […]
Several of my friends have been experimenting with brighter color palettes lately with great success. I have to admit, I do enjoy the colorful quilts they have been coming out with. It is the case however that I still have a strong affinity for Civil War Reproduction fabrics: I love the way they honor our […]
I know this looks pretty random, but I did whip up a few Christmas gifts yesterday. Three pillow cases for a couple of nephews and a niece. Cozy flannel for the guys and a Parisian print for the gal. I am really digging these pillow cases for a quick and easy last minute gift! […]
Honestly, I wasn't planning on making any Christmas gifts this year. I have enough going on, I told myself. But then, as I was going over my Christmas gift list, there are a few people who are just tricky to buy for. Someone to whom you would like to give a gift, but you don't […]
I am usually dead against blog posts that show what the author bought non stop, but I have to share this gorgeous fabric collection with you. Have you all heard of a shop called "Country Sampler"? Oh my gosh, it is the most amazing shop ever. Unfortunately, I have not been lucky enough to visit […]
I've been waiting patiently for some new fabric to be delivered by my postman, and it arrived a couple of days ago. Do you recognize it? What is showing on top of my Civil War Reproduction Christmas prints are some fatquarters of Primitive Gatherings new collection "Floral Gatherings". I knew the reds would probably work, […]
After I shared how I folded "larger cuts" of fabric (one yard to six yard cuts) on carboards, many of you have inquired how I store the smaller cuts of fabric I own. Well, those fat quarters and smaller cuts (half yard and less) are stored in color coded plastic tubs out in my garage. […]
Here is my newly reorganized stash cupboard! I have been folding fabric on 7 x 10 1/2 inch comic book boards for days. I bought three packs of 100 cardboards for $33 on amazon.com, and went through 200 plus a few. I have plenty left for more fabric, but seeing what I have on hand, […]
This photo is from Moda Bakeshop, which I saw on Pinterest. Beautiful, isn't it? I have been toying with ideas on how to better organize my fabric stash for some time now. My husband put together several metal shelving units for me to store my fat quarters and bundles, which are in labeled plastic bins. […]
Certainly I have been enjoying the inside of my new home, and getting it decorated for fall. However the outside has many charms as well, with wrap around covered porches and a very nice view. I bought some red citronella candles at the hardware store of all places, and love lighting them each evening and […]
