This is what is on my small design wall at the moment. Two adorable small quilts that need quilting. Lately I am so in the mood to make smaller, in season projects that I can get done in a day or so and get into my decor. The one on the upper left is Tidbit, […]
New Year's Resolutions? Nah. I don't think so. Not this year. Oh, maybe I do have one. I will make an effort not to use so many exclamation points when I write. However, the New Year does make me start thinking of all the quilt projects I would like to tackle. My head is full […]
I found myself in JoAnn's Fabrics yesterday. My mission was to pick up some zippers to make a Sew Together Bag. Then, I started thinking. Hmmm, the family Halloween party is this Saturday, and I am planning to take Eva with me. This is a child who has six princess costumes, and it seemed […]
It is fall, Eva needed a new placemat, so here we are. I made it with a charm pack of Hello Fall (by Sandy Gervais for Moda) in no time flat. I pretty much made it up as I went along. Cut 2 1/2 inch squares to sew on the corners of four charm squares […]
I have been working away on my orange and black checkerboard blocks for "Lucy", and have worked myself up into a fine Halloween frame of mind. I took a break from checkerboard blocks this weekend and stitched up this cute little Halloween table topper in one day. I have been thinking of making this […]
I made this little thread catcher a couple of years ago. (Tutorial here). It is cute, makes a fun little gift for girlfriends, and is fine for hand sewing or to take to classes or on retreats. The problem is, it is too darn small for general purposes. We haven't really quarreled, but the bloom […]
I am doing a different kind of post today and hope you might enjoy it. From time to time I like to do a post on beauty, fashion or decorating, and some of you have told me you think it's fun. If that isn't your cup of tea, I am giving you fair warning to […]
I know. Can you believe it? I have been blogging since 2007, and have reached the milestone of my 1500th post. Crazy. I started blogging with the idea of creating a record of my quilting projects, my decorating schemes and entertaining. I started commenting on other blogs, and in return started getting comments on my […]
Staying up til midnight? I don't think so. Happy New Year to you and your families. We saw the New Year in from our beds, I must guiltily admit. Staying up until midnight is just not in me, no matter what the occasion. I woke up this morning, in a bloggy mood, and decided to […]
A few days ago, I came upon something that I thought was a very appealing idea. I was browsing away on the Fatquartershop.com and was intrigued by this Floral Gatherings collection. It is a little box of Auriful thread that coordinates perfectly with the latest fabric collection by Primitive Gatherings. How pretty is that? I […]
