Next time you make a baby quilt, you might want to make a few burp cloths to go with it. When Eva was a baby, goodness, did we ever use a ton of these. I buy the prefolded diapers that have a thicker portion down the center. You can find them at places like Target […]
This little table runner is what I made with my green and white flying geese. I don't know what came over me–I am so easily distracted when I am down in my sewing studio. The fabrics were just so fresh and springy, and who doesn't love working on a seasonal project, right at the time […]
This is my little homage to Thelma's Door County Cherry Basket Quilt. I used some of her leftover black and brown triangles, and some of my beautiful red charm squares from Primitive Gatherings. The patterns for the basket blocks came from Miss Rosie's "Picnic" Schnibbles pattern. The blocks are 6 inch finished. My offering is […]
Can you guess in what place I am taking this picture? It is from the inside of this vintage travel trailer that was at the Buggy Barn quilt show! It was hard to get a good picture, due to all the people crowding around, trying to get inside for a look! It has been a […]
Ok, enough goofing around, shopping at the mall, and gazing vacantly into space. Time to get back to sewing! I have the day off for the most part today, and plan to put together some Dresden Plates. I love these pretty Fig Tree fabrics, and know my finished top will be so summery and vintagey. […]
When I was tearing through the Road to California quilt show in Ontario last week, my heart nearly stopped when I came upon something I have wanted my entire grown up life. A barn quilt. There was a booth,hosted by "Classic Metal Company", who had displayed heavy weight steel "barn quilt" blocks to use as […]
There have been several discussions going on lately in Blogland about quilters' favorite tools, so I thought I would jump in with a list of mine. I tried to keep my list to ten items, but that was a lot harder than you would think! If you have any suggestions to add, by all means […]
I think it is time for a little reward to my blogging friends! There is much to celebrate in my life right now, and I can't think of a better way to express my gratitude than a little blog give away. Yes, my heart is becoming lighter as I imagine giving these little darlings […]
It sounds kind of naughty, but seriously, this is a G Rated fun thing that we do in our family. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the tradition: "The Christmas pickle is a pickle-shaped ornament hidden in the tree. The child who finds it first on Christmas morning receives an extra present. […]
While I was turning my sewing room upside down this weekend, looking for the 3 1/2 square of fabric I swear Sophie ran off with, I made a discovery. I love it when this happens. Usually I keep all my future projects in my stash closet where I can frequently admire, fondle and consider […]
