I've lost my mind lately, picking up great end-of-the-summer bargains online and in person. Honestly, I may have gone overboard. But, hey, it's ok, you only live once and you can't take it with you. This bundle is Stitch by Fig Tree. It is an older collection from 2022 that I found for a great […]
Well, I got six cushion covers made and stuffed with foam. I am waiting on more foam squares before I make any more. If the thickness is different from the ones I have made so far, I will have to recalculate my measurements. I figured it was better to wait rather than make more covers […]
These are five of eight quilts that are patiently waiting for me to sew down their bindings. I am one of those people who hates sewing bindings, so I put it off as long as I can. One of my problems is that I don't want to sit around and waste time during the day […]
Well, I haven't made much progress on my Spools projects since my post on Wednesday, but I did get a picture from Stephani, who is sewing along with us. This is what she shared: Cute little guys, aren't they? Sorry, I couldn't seem to enlarge the photo, but aren't her colors fresh? The reason I […]
Of course I did a bit of shopping while on the trip to Illinois! I will be starting up some new projects over the next few months, some in conjunction with Thelma and Lisa. We ended up buying the same kits! I am so excited about my new fabrics. I seem to have focused on […]
I am so in the mood to make a purple quilt. I think every five to ten years a person needs to explore the purple side of their personality. I have made several purple quilts in my life, and I love them all dearly. If you haven't embraced purple, you surely must consider it. Here […]
My daughter Sara is going on vacation to Hawaii in a few weeks. The purpose of the trip is for her and her husband to attend the wedding of some very dear friends, but if anyone I know needs a vacation, it is Sara. I won't go into all the details, but suffice to say, […]
It was a perfect weekend, with time for sewing, time for shopping, and time socializing with the family. I worked on the blocks for the quilt I am making out of the Patisserie jelly roll. I would have finished them I think, but I made a discovery that bummed me out, so I quit. Remember […]
Packaging is everything. I ordered this piece of fabric from an online shop I had never heard of, Z & S Fabrics, in Denver, Pennsylvania. My selection criteria was pretty basic. I wanted this particular fabric and they were the first shop I found online who had it. Simple as that. Here is where […]
