Well, the consensus from yesterday's question:  Do you wash your finished quilts right away to give them that soft quiltier feel?    A resounding YES!!!  As Carrie said, it makes them Nap Worthy.  So true! While at work this week I have had a persistent, distracting notion that I have not been able to get out […]

A big thank you to all who shopped at my Tuesday Sale this week!  I hope that you love your selections when they arrive.  I've still got plenty more to sell, so check back next week! The quilt above is the one I recently got out of hock from my favorite quilter.  It is an […]

Those are 6 1/2 inch star blocks for a quilt I am making out of some Allspice Tapestry fabric by Fig Tree for Moda.  I started this project months ago and it has been sitting in a box all this time.  It's a shame too, because I really like this fabric and the pattern.  It […]

Did you have a good weekend?  Get any sewing done?  The weather was damp and dreary here, and it seemed like a much better idea to stay inside and sew rather than clean up the yard.  Spending time organizing my closets and tossing out some old clothes would have probably been more productive, but I […]

This is a quilt I made years ago.  Six or seven years ago at least.  It remains one of my very favorite little quilts to put out during the Springtime.  The quilt was very simple in its construction.  You sew various sized strips together in long rows, and them randomly connect all the rows.  The […]

Now that Daylight Savings time has begun again, the Vernal Equinox is just a couple of weeks away, don't you just want to ditch the turtlenecks and boots and get out your cropped pants and tee shirts?  Wear bright springy colors?  Change into that cute straw summer hand bag?  Use some self tanner and get […]

I had such a great time participating in the OP Sew Along that Pat Sloan hosted this weekend!  My version of orange was a bit toned down I suppose, but it worked for me.  While I was working on the challenge quilt, a little bell tinkled in the back of my mind.  I vaguely recalled […]

Isn't this just the happiest little quilt?  The colors just sing out to me and the quilt is telling me it needs to go to a child.  Wouldn't it be a sunny addition to a child's bedroom?  The feeling is not specifically juvenile, but young and cheerful all the same.  Yup, it needs to be […]

After yesterday's nonsense, I decided to get myself in gear today and finish up a couple of things on my To Do list.  I got the borders on two quilt tops!  The one above is from a pattern called Spice Cake by Mary's Cottage Quilts.  The fabric is Charisma by Chez Moi for Moda.  The […]

  I have been stitching away on these super easy, fun blocks for the past couple of days.  This fabric line is so darn cute.  I chose the pattern Cafe Au' Laite from Heather Mulder Petersen's book Let the Good Times Roll.  Heather's pattern calls for one jelly roll and a couple of charm packs.  […]
