Before I start on my new Spools project, I definitely need to clean up things in my sewing studio. Which means moving this Kiss Me project along. Yesterday was my day off, and I sewed the blocks together and attached the first border. Now I am making 48 flying geese, which will be the second […]
A couple of my friends and I are going to be doing a little sew along in the coming weeks, and I am pretty excited about it! Would you like to guess what it might be? Take a guess and on Wednesday I will announce the name of the first person to correctly predict just […]
I surely seem to be obsessed with my Fig Tree stash lately. Am I in danger of Figging Out? Well, wigging out maybe, but not due to my total immersion in this pretty fabric. So far, these lovely soft tones are just what I need to soothe my my raggedy psyche. I finished up three […]
Hey, everyone, how is your week going? My Wednesday was a lot better than the earlier part of the week, that's for sure. I finally said "No" to a commitment that has been making me unhappy and stressing me out, and I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off my […]
Here is my first block made from the Fig Tree pattern "Kiss Me". Isn't it sweet? I am making my quilt from various Fig Tree corally reds. The fabric above is from Patisserie, but most of the reds I will use are from last summer's Strawberry Fields collection. I found my fabrics late in the […]
Rummaging around in my studio has its advantages. I remember how excited I was when I started this project over a year ago. I love a two color quilt, and the curved piecing is just the sort of gentle challenge that I enjoy. This quilt pattern is called Winding Ways, and has a super cool […]
What a lovely day I had yesterday. I hung out in my studio a good part of the day, puttering with this and that. No deadlines, no pressures, just futzing with whatever my heart led me to do. Since I am working on my Fig Tree Dresden Plates, I decided I needed a thread catcher […]
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. […]
Let me introduce you to "Memory", the quilt I made from Monique Dillard's new book "Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts: Eleven New Projects from Open Gate Quilts", published by C&T Publishing. My quilt is not complete–I have ordered border fabric ( for a narrow blue containment border and a wider red print for the outside border), […]
Due to a change in my babysitting schedule for Baby E, I ended up with two bonus sewing days this week! I'm spending it working on a project that I can't share with you until the last week of March, because it is a secret 'til then. Don't mean to be a tease…Oh yes I […]
