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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
