The last of the boutique items are sewn, embellished, and ready to be delivered to the shop. I think these Zippy bags may be the cutest yet. I used some Cinnamon Stars fabric I had on hand to make them up, and am so pleased with the results. And that little button is the most […]
It is a last minute rush around here the past couple of days. Those are the last of the mug rugs in the photo above. You know, I am thoroughly tired of making those things. They really are too much work for what they sell for. People like them though, so I keep producing them. […]
Here is my little table in the wine tasting room. I managed to get most of my new holiday merchandise on display by Friday afternoon, as I had hoped. It is quite shocking what a person can do when they put their mind to it. There is still some tweeking to be done. I need […]
My dining room table is filling up with boutique items. Yesterday my progress doesn't appear so grand as the previous days. I really ran out of steam after the baby left at 6:00. No evening sewing for me. What I accomplished was three boxy zippy bags. The red ones in the foreground are for […]
I tell you, it is just amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. I had to work at the shop yesterday, but before I went in, I made 13 tissue holders out of the leftover Adoring fabric that I didn't use for mug rugs. Actually, they are super cute, and […]
Here is what I was able to finish yesterday with the baby hanging on my leg while I sewed. Six table runners and four sets of mug rugs. I made a decision regarding the table runners that has been a huge time saver. I decided not to bind them, but to sew them envelope style […]
Here it is! My Civil War Reproduction version of Spools! I was so happy to get this put together this weekend. I varied the pattern slightly by making some of the "thread" strips thinner, so I could get to use more fabrics from my stash and make things a bit scrappier looking. The pattern calls […]
Besame mucho means Kiss Me A Lot. And lots of kissing is what I feel like doing now that this adorable quilt is finished! Pattern is Kiss Me by Fig Tree Quilts, fabric is Strawberry Fields, also by Fig Tree for Moda. Joanna Figueroa is the designer. Aside from some tricky cutting (made easier if […]
I am so excited to show you a proper finish! This is a pattern called "Memory" by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. Back in March I participated in a book launch for her latest book Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts: 11 Traditional Quilt Projects from Open Gate Quilts. We were all asked to choose a […]
I gotta get it done, I just gotta. The 4th of July will soon be upon us, and I surely would like to have this on my table a bit in advance of the holiday. Finished the quilting on my Doc Schnibble. Well, it isn't the greatest quilting job in the world, and in fact […]
