This photo may not look too much different from the last one I posted, but I have actually made a few more blocks for my Antique Star project. Every block is such fun to make, and seeing the color combinations and the overall effect of the light blocks and dark blocks is really fun. I […]
I am so excited to share with you my Sunflower Sisters quilt! I made this quilt as a Sew Along with two friends, Thelma of Cupcakes "n' Daisies and Lisa of Stashmaster. We swapped red, gold, black and brown fabrics to give ourselves more variety, and gave each other lots of encouragement as we proceded […]
This is what I accomplished on my vacation. Not great, but I will take it. Between reading three entire novels, accompanying my husband on lunch dates where we ate great food while observing Lake Tahoe, and watching more sunsets than I thought strictly necessary, I did squeeze in a little sewing. The good news is, […]
Trying to post some pictures while I am away from home this week. I am failing miserably! I can take pictures just fine, but when I try to download them to my husband's laptop, then upload them to Typepad it doesn't work. I am on a little getaway and took my sewing machine along. I […]
The sunflower centers are coming along. I have actually made 12 small ones and 10 large ones, but am considering making my project smaller than full sized. I put up nine large blocks to see what it would look like if the top were three blocks by three blocks, and think I could live with […]
I actually got some sewing done yesterday in between making a crock pot dinner for the family, driving to the hospital to visit Grandpa, and having my nails done. All in all, a very successful day. Oh, and it started with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. It does not get much better than that. […]
I am so excited about a new project I am beginning, perfect for late summer/early fall. I can't tell you all about it just yet, as I hope to be sewing along with a couple of friends, and haven't conferred with them as to when we are going to officially start sharing the details. This […]
I have started to get concerned emails from readers inquiring "are you all right?". Yes I am fine. Just super amazingly busy. It is hard to be a caregiver and accomplish all the other things your family normally expects as de rigueur holiday happenings. What exactly have I been doing? Caring for Grandpa, caring for […]
I had a bit of a melt down yesterday. All the caregiving, cleaning, cooking and "doing" finally caught up with me, and I decided I was pretty much done with it all. I needed a long weekend at a resort spa, complete with all the massage and grooming appointments time would allow. That wasn't in […]
As you can see, I am plodding along with my Halloween 1904 quilt. Will I finish the top by Halloween? We shall see. I got the half square triangles all re-made and finished up all the blocks that required orange ones. Much progress has been made with the black ones, and some that are pictured […]
