In honor of Fall, I just had to start a new table runner for the season. This one is called Acorn Love, and is a pattern by Lori Holt for Bee in My Bonnet. If you are familiar with Lori Holt's books, you know how well she does pieced patterns that depict something, such as […]
I was inspired this weekend to create a new table decoration for fall. My inspiration came from a YouTube video by Jennifer Decorates. Jennifer Davenport is a professional designer from Tennessee who creates the most beautiful decor. Her channel has loads of DIY ideas. She made her table decoration from items she recently purchased at […]
I had a lot of leftovers from my recent Red Pineapple finish. Normally, I am not one to fret about using up leftover fabric, but I had an idea for what to do with them. I have had foundation paper piecing on my mind lately and purchased a couple of the 6" Log Cabin paper […]
I recently bought a few more notions at Fatquartershop.com. One of them is this cool seam roller by Riley Blake. It is designed by Lori Holt and is actually a very nice little seam presser. It cost $15, and I am glad I bought it. It works great for the times when you want to […]
I put in a few hours of sewing over the weekend, and the Maple Leaves blocks are finished and being sewn together. The batik fabrics are so pretty. It is like I am working with little jewels. What I am really enjoying is the lighter background. Many of my fall table toppers and runners are […]
Hello. This is Frivols #6. Not. In my recent sewing room clean up, I reacquainted myself with my little Frivols collection. I had started to do something with Frivols 6, which was nothing like the project suggestion that came with the fabric in the collectible tin. And then I abandoned the project. I had been […]
This is what one was supposed to do with the project kit for Frivols # 6. It is nice enough, but the Churn Dash block didn't excite me terribly. The little kit #6 featured a collection by Fig Tree & Co. called "Strawberry Fields Revisited". It was a remake of a hugely popular earlier Fig […]
Do you remember Frivols? They were such a cute idea from four or so years ago. It was a year-long subscription program. Each month you got a little see-through tin with enough fabric by a Moda designer, with project instructions and an extra free pattern block. The Frivol in the photo above is one from […]
Lots of stitching going on, and I actually have something to show for it. I completed my little red stars table runner and love how it turned out. I just made a whole bunch of 3 1/2" stars and sewed them together diagonally with a 2 inch border. It will be nice for all sorts […]
All it took was Eva going back to school and some new Halloween patterns and I am back in the sewing room again. The little pattern above is by Margot Languedoc, whose company is The Pattern Basket. She is known for her wonderful designs that involve blocks that depict something-strawberries, acorns, pumpkins. If you want […]
