I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time! Ours was pretty low key, but that was what we wanted. Ahren and Sara were both here for Christmas Eve and Christmas, so that was fabulous. I cannot think when I had both my kids under one roof for Christmas Eve! Now it is time to […]
I am still enjoying what is left of the fall color. Most of the leaves are down or have turned brown, but there is still a tree of two that still hangs on to its red or yellow color. Inside our house it looks like Christmas, but I still love that outside fall color. I […]
I have made my first Woven Star block! I am making the 4-inch size and using a Jolly Bar (5" x 10") of Kitty Christmas fabric by Urban Chiks. I tell you, it took me a minute to understand the directions. However, after watching the Fatquarter Shop YouTube tutorial I pretty much had it down […]
I was busy in the sewing room yesterday and have plenty to share, but decided to just stick to one topic for today and not bombard you all with a half a dozen projects that I have in the works. So, I started a new project. Of course I did. I got up yesterday morning […]
I mentioned a few posts ago that I was planning a new project. It is a small one, just a table runner, but I am in love with the fabric collection and the pattern. The fabric is a line called Timber by Sweetwater, with lovely golds, greens and blacks in a national park/camping theme. The […]

I couldn't resist showing one more picture of Moda Blockheads 5. I just need to sew the rows together and this top will be nearly done. I wasn't feeling great yesterday so I didn't sew, but I hope to complete this task today. I also may have done a bit of fabric shopping lately. Aren't […]
Well, I got six cushion covers made and stuffed with foam. I am waiting on more foam squares before I make any more. If the thickness is different from the ones I have made so far, I will have to recalculate my measurements. I figured it was better to wait rather than make more covers […]
You all know that I work on multiple projects at a time. I love the variety of having all sorts of different things going on, and I sure never get bored. The following projects are those that I am actively working on each week. I also have projects in line to finish: mainly with borders […]
Today I'd like to tell you about a new sew-along that Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet is doing. It is called Mercantile and features a new fabric line of Lori's as well as a gazillion of her products and notions. There will be two blocks a week, with tutorials on her blog site. […]
