Are you wondering what to give along with your Microwave Bowl Cozies? You know, to round out the gift? Well, you could give a bowl. Seriously, why not? I got these nice heavy white ones at Crate and Barrel. They are on clearance right now for $2.97! You can find comparable bowls at lots of […]
I live in a rural area in Northern California. We are about two and a half hours away from just about everything: most of my relatives, my doctor, a really good library, dry cleaners, Target, Nordstrom- you get the idea. The plus side of living out in the boonies is that I am near our […]
I thought I might share some of my favorite beauty related stocking stuffer ideas for women. These items work for teenagers up through the elderly I think. For me, beauty products are always pretty easy to come up with, as there are so many small items that we gals love to receive. Boys and men […]

I did. I cut this quilt up into a rectangular table runner. I just took a deep breath and let the rotary cutter do its thing. If you are just joining in, this is what I had to start with: The quilt is made up of seven rather complicated, labor intensive blocks, which are sewn […]
Feel like love is giving you the run around? Don't despair, you can sort it all out by making this cute Valentine's table topper. These flying geese are going around in circles trying to find the hearts, but I think it is a lost cause. We know what to do though. Some sewing has been […]
I was playing around in the sewing room on Saturday, and decided to add another appliqué block to my Moda Blockheads collection. For the setting I am thinking of, I may need some extra blocks. I have been having so much fun with the appliqué blocks, I thought one more might be just the thing. […]
