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 […]
Oh joy. Be still my heart. Look what arrived on my door step. My extra blacks and neutrals for my Halloween 1904 half square triangles. And you know what else? Eva took a super long nap today and I was able to finish all of them! The stars are now in alignment and the cosmos […]
Welcome to the Spools Parade! Thelma is hosting her half of the parade on her blog Cupcakes 'n' Daisies, so be sure to visit her to see even more Spools quilts. I understand she is riding in a convertible with a crown and sash, giving everyone the royal wave as she rides down Main Street, […]
Here is Sally's (Chocolate Chip Addict blog) Spools quilt top, another scrappy one. She has a very fun plan to appliqué a needle and thread on it. The thread will be red and will connect to the red spool on the lower right. Don't you love it when people take a project and make it […]
