Who doesn't love fabric with bees? I sure do. I just ordered selected pieces in a new collection called Garden Notes by Kathy Schmitz and it arrived yesterday. This fabric will be perfect in a quilt I have in mind to make for my bedroom for spring and summer. I am trying to bring more […]
I am making my Halloween Bounce Stars scrappy, within each of five color ways. I have fabrics in black, orange, gold, green and purple. I found that if I used a selection of lights and darks in each star, the stars seemed to "sparkle" more than if I stuck to fabrics all the exact same […]
Hi there. Hope you all had a wonderful 3 day weekend, if where you live it actually WAS a 3 day weekend! Here in the US it was "Labor Day Weekend", an occasion that for a lot of folks signifies kids going back to school, days getting shorter, fall approaching, and summer's last fling-often celebrated […]
On Memorial Day I was on my own, and decided to make the most of the free day up in my sewing room. My daughter Sara has been making some comments on how she needs a table topper in patriotic colors, and I thought what better day to start such an endeavor, but Memorial Day? […]
So, I have made a few fabric purchases lately. This may come as a surprise from Nicole, Who Has Not Been Sewing So Much Lately. However, one purchase was an impulse, one was a need, and the last was a subscription. My impulse purchase from Fat Quarter Shop is shown in the photo above. A […]

I am a huge Denyse Schmidt fan. I have purchased most of her collections, and have used them in several quilts. I am jealously hoarding my leftover scraps for future projects. One of her earlier groups that I missed out on, was one called Katie Jump Rope. Oh my gosh was that collection of fabric […]
What a fun project to work on after being on hiatus for over a month! That project is Viola, a Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. pattern, designed by Carrie Nelson of course. I am participating in a sew along with two friends, Thelma and Sinta. I was so worried that my recently sprained hand would prevent […]
Your first Frivols that is? Mine came in the mail last week and I could not be more thrilled. I ordered the accompanying "finishing kit" as well, which comes with background, binding, and any extra fabric required for making the project. The Frivols is contained in the little tin box with see-through window, and the […]
Zen Chic I want to focus today on a designer who I am really enjoying. Brigitte Heitland designs for Moda under the name of Zen Chic. Her designs are modern, gorgeous pure colors, and I think, unique from what other designers are doing right now. She incorporates symbols such as punctuation marks, numerals, text and […]
