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 […]

I’m Starting My Happy Collection

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 […]

Kenneshaw Mountain

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 […]

Countdown

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!   […]

A Little Elf Work

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 Couldn’t Resist This

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 […]

Audition Rejection

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, […]

And the Rest of the Story

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.  […]

Fabric Reorganization

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, […]
