So, this is happening. My son Ahren gave me a fat eighth bundle of Cinnaberry by 3 Sisters for Mother's Day. Moda had a free pattern for using it, which called for a layer cake and an additional 1/3 yard of each of the cream fabrics in the line, plus more cream for the setting […]
I am visiting my father for a couple of days this week, so I won't be doing a full-blown post today. We have been attending to a couple of long-overdue doctor's appointments. Remember the MRI I had back in February? I finally got in to talk to the doctor about my results. That is what, […]
Well, this is a UFO in all sense of the word. I discovered this little project box in my sewing room closet and just stared at it open-mouthed. What had I been planning? There were the makings for flying geese units, some strips in various sizes, a whole lot of black and orange fabrics. No […]
It may not be 296 days of self-isolation, but it sure feels like it. I had a live video phone call with one of my sisters yesterday and I was embarrassed to have dirty hair, no makeup and sweats on. She looked much better than I did, I assure you. It was nice to at […]
I did not set foot outside my house for the past three days, and got a lot of sewing done! My husband being glued to the tv watching various football games also helped my productivity level. What have I been working on? Well, a couple of things. My main sewing project is First Flake in […]
These two funny looking things are triangle zipper pouches. I watched a couple of YouTube videos to get the basic instructions. They went together easily, with a few trial and error mishaps. I sewed those D ring tabs on wrong about four times but got it right in the end. I will provide more details […]
Can you even? Is this not the cutest little Halloween block ever? Actually, it is two blocks from the Night Flight pattern by Basic Grey. The fabric is Hallo Harvest by Basic Grey. This was a $130 purchase I do not regret whatsoever. I am thinking I may not make the entire quilt, but make […]
Didn't we have great comments yesterday to my complaints of not feeling inspired to sew lately? My gosh, so many of you weighed in with ideas for projects that were exciting to you. The enthusiasm just leapt off the page. If that wasn't a shot in the arm, I don't know what would be! I […]
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened. How cute is that little Corn and Beans kit? It measures 17" square when finished and would make the summeriest […]
Have any of you seen the Sweetwater Hometown Christmas quilt? Click on the photo above to enlarge and see the detail. It is simple patchwork, combined with machine applique and embroidery (eeeep). The first step is to make twelve blocks that consist of a strip of 2 1/2" squares and two rectangles. On one of […]
