I forgot to show you this new little table topper last week. It is made from some older Sandy Gervais fabrics I had in my stash. It's been over a year since I made it, but I think I may have used one of two charm packs to make it. I don't recall using an […]
I am staying with my dad a few extra days this week. One of my sisters is moving into a new house and my other sister and I are covering for her while she gets settled in. I am always trying to come up with menu ideas that appeal to my dad. He has a […]
Summer has arrived and that means some sewing, some reading, and some Eva time. This is a block for the Peace and Healing BOW I have been working on. Love this block. Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas, […]
What a productive and fun weekend we had! We squeezed in a fun visit with family, some great shopping, and then I even had a day to do some sewing. The blocks above are part of the Piecing the Past Peace and Healing Sew Along. I think they are perfect blocks for a diagonal quilt […]
The family spent last week down in Palm Desert, having a wonderful time in the sun. Our daughter Sara and granddaughter Eva came with us. Besides celebrating Spring Break, my husband and I celebrated our anniversary. 53 years! We escaped a nasty cold spell at home and enjoyed temperatures in the 70s and 80s. There […]
April Mug Rugs of the Month are almost done. I got them quilted and still need to attach the binding. With luck, I will get that done today or tomorrow. I am late with these and have half a notion to say they are April Easter baskets and May flower baskets combined, and save myself […]
All the little Churn Dash blocks for the Flea Market quilt along are finished. I can now start on the next round, which is made up of basket blocks. I do love a basket block. These will go a bit slower I imagine. I think just three are assigned in a month. I have to […]
This is what 96 looks like. My father has been without heat from his furnace for a month and it looks like it will stay that way until the end of March. His furnace died and the part that is needed is not going to be available for a long time. It is probably sitting […]
Hope your holiday celebrations have been as magnificent as mine have been! Since our son arrived home from Ireland, we have been cooking up a storm. All the dishes he has been craving, and some new experiments as well. On one of his first nights home, we made homemade pasta for linguine and clams. It […]
Since I was excited about the idea of the Mug Rug of the Month Club, I got cracking on the January offering. I had a tub full of Primitive Gatherings Snowman Gatherings fabrics that are perfect for that month. I had a couple of false starts, but ended up with four mug rugs that are […]
