Ah, what a treat it is to be able to just stay home and sew. I am making the most of this week, that is for sure. I had purchased a honey bun of At Home by Bonnie and Camille that I wanted to make use of. I needed to find a pattern that used […]
I am really pleased with how my little Summer Breeze mini quilt is coming along. The center is all done, and I am just waiting on some more green fabric to arrive for the ribbon border. I am going to love having this out all spring and summer. Those colors make me so happy. The […]
Isn't this pull of fabric happy? It is a combination of Lori Holt's "Prim" and "Flea Market", Corey Yoder's "Spring Brook", and Lily Ashbury's "Fancy". I think Lily Ashbury was ahead of her time with those fun bright-hued fabrics. They are hugely popular now with designers such as Lori Holt and April Rosenthal putting out […]
Here she is, on the dining room table. "Night Flight" by Basic Grey. If any of you were lucky enough to get some of the Hallo Harvest fabric by Basic Grey when it was available, you should pat yourselves on the back. What a fun collection. I bought a kit for an entire quilt, and […]
Oh my, I am in love with this! These blocks are made with Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Cupcake Mix Foundation Papers #1. What you see above is 16 blocks made with the papers and a charm pack of "Late Bloomers" by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I have loved the experience of paper piecing, and working […]
It's almost September, so a Christmas project is in order, don't you think? This is Shine Bright, a pattern by Kansas Troubles. Lynn Hagemeir has been the designer behind Kansas Trouble Quilts for over 25 years, and I think I have admired her that entire time. I love her pure color palette, her crisp designs, […]
I am so excited about how well this table runner turned out! It is called Sunflower Duet, and is from the book The Big Book of Table Toppers. The design is by Lynn Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilts. I highly recommend the book, which is chock full of great patterns for small table quilts. The […]
Our national day of independence, the 4th of July is this Saturday. If you celebrate, I hope you do so safely and with those you love. We are having a small family barbeque at Eva's daddy's house. He is a fantastic cook, so whatever we have will be amazing. Eva is with her mommy this […]
I had a much better sewing day yesterday. I had my husband snap a photo to show that I really can do it. Excuse the no makeup and funny expression. This was about the eighth photo he took, as he kept chopping off my head and I was getting impatient with the poor man. I […]
This was my weekend project. And I am so disappointed in the way it turned out. I swear I used the same fabrics as the pattern designer, and my effort is so not what I was expecting. There just is not enough contrast between the background and the focal units. It is supposed to be […]
