Now that Eva has started kindergarten, I had my first free morning to work on whatever I wanted. My free days are Mondays and Thursdays and I plan to make the most of them. Well, that is my intention anyway. Thursday I got up at the crack of dawn, dealt with Ozzie, watered the plants, […]
I've always wanted to make this quilt. The pattern is "Raise the Roof", an old Miss Rosie pattern that you can still buy. I searched online and found that Homestead Hearth carries it. The quilt is a combination of star blocks and log cabin blocks arranged in a Barn Raising setting. The fabrics I am using are […]
I have one test block made for my new project, Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern. The cutting for this project was pretty intense and took me a couple of days. I decided to make all my flying geese units with Monique Dillard's Fit to be Geese ruler, with means I had to figure […]
This month is just flying by. Between working, taking care of Eva and going to my dad's house to care for him three days a week, I don't know if I am coming or going. My father really doesn't need much attention, since he is pretty much recovered from his broken leg. In the down […]
I've been experimenting with a new ruler, and I have to say I really love it. That is the Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool. I got the idea to make a Log Cabin Quilt from a Fatquarter Shop Video on how to make a Log Cabin quilt they called Hope Blooms. It is part of […]
I am just eeeaaasssiiinnnggg back into sewing by making up a little Frivols project. I dived into Frivols #5, because I liked the French General fabrics. Never mind that I haven't done Frivols #1, 2, 3 or 4. I will get to them one of these days. This is the primary pattern for Frivols #5, […]
I have been enjoying working with Sweetwater's holiday collection "Holly's Tree Farm". I got in a bit of sewing last week on two different projects. The one I like best of the two is "Paganini", a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Paganini is a great pattern with three or four different variations, which […]
Yesterday on the Moda Cutting Table blog, Carrie Nelson posted about having a slew of projects going on at once. She put the question out there to her readers, if they were a one project at a time person or if they juggled multiple projects at once. I am definitely in the "more the merrier" […]
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, […]
Things have been pretty rough around here for the past week, as you all know. Most of my time has been spent scavenging for news of the fire on my laptop. I have not been able to concentrate very well on Viola, which really deserves my full attention. I picked it up and messed about […]
