I sure didn't get any sewing done this past weekend, so I am showing you a recent acquisition that is still available from Fat Quarter Shop. Rene Nanneman is known for her beautiful small prints, many of which are the perfect background fabrics. She is famous for these "ditsy" prints, which in many cases nearly […]
I did a little happy dance on the front porch when I saw that this had arrived. Good thing I have a couple of guardians to watch over valuables until I can pick them up. At the moment I do not have specific plans for the bundle, just knew I had to have it. All […]
A free day equals lots of sewing time, and I made the most of it. What you see in the photo above are 90 Long Road Home blocks. Nine stacks of ten blocks each. This quilt is a diagonal set, and I plan to get it on the design wall some time today. I need […]
I feel as if I am drowning in strips for my pineapple blocks! I did get the lights all cut out and organized into labeled baggies over the weekend. After cutting for hours, I still do not have enough French General reds. I ordered 13 more fat quarters and that is just going to have […]
I made a couple of little bags last week. For me! The one above is perfect for face creams and make up, or perhaps all your makeup brushes. I know when I travel, I prefer to keep my brushes separate from everything else. Hmmm, I believe I should make one more… On the blog In […]
Have you ever in your life seen anything so adorable? Me either. I had to have it. It is a Chateau Rouge kit put together by Country Sampler. I have talked about presentation on this blog in the past, and nobody does it better than Country Sampler. I have a project in mind for this […]
I took my own advice and rummaged around a bit in the old stash cupboards this past weekend. Oh my, look what was hiding away in a plastic project box labeled "Pretty Maids". At first I had no clue what "Pretty Maids" meant. I have glanced at this box a hundred times over the past […]
I love a scrappy quilt, and can usually pull from my stash a nice compatible mixture of prints. The project I am currently working on, Hill Country Baskets, is giving me a real headache. I swear I have cut enough fabric to make about four Hill Country Baskets quilts at this point in time. The […]
A fat eighth bundle of Barbara Brackman's Metropolitan Fair fell into my lap this week. I was so pleased to receive it and not just a little bit blown away by how gorgeous the colors in that line are. There are soft reds, mellow pinks, medium tone blues, yellowish greens, cocoa browns, silvery greys…These colors […]
Just a quiick post this morning. It is supposed to be my day off for sewing, but I am having to take Grandpa to the doctor an hour and a half away. Nothing wrong, just a little tune up. With any luck I can hunker down over my Bernina late this afternoon. Here is some […]
