This will be brief, as you can see my finger isn't up to typing so well. This may be the first on record curved piecing related injury.  I actually got my finger under the needle trying to manuever the fabric.  Don't ask.  They told me at Urgent Care that I won the prize for weirdest […]

Hey there, I wanted to give an update on my progress with my Quick Curve Ruler project.  First of all, I have changed my mind on fabric three times and on the pattern once.  I had originally planned to do the project in the fabric you see above, Oh My! by Sanae.  I changed my […]

 I knew this red and white quilt block reminded me of something.  A couple of years ago I made a blue and white quilt called Winding Ways that called for using a template and doing curved piecing.  I really enjoyed making the quilt, and found the curved piecing not difficult at all.    This red […]

The new red and white project I started last weekend has a very interesting tool that makes constructing the blocks quite easy.  The toosl I am using are called the Tri Recs rulers, designed by Darlene Zimmerman and Joy Hoffman for EZ Tools.  They are sold together as a set, and both shapes are required […]

My sewing room is beginning to look like a Fig Tree workshop.  The design walls are full of Figgy goodness at the moment.  I have been plodding along with my Dresden Plate project, which at this point is all handwork.  I pick up the blocks and hand applique the plates in place when I get […]

Oh my goodness, do I love my latest finished project.  Whit, a Little Bites pattern, by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.  You can click on the link and order this as a pdf pattern and  have it instantly!   This is what I have needed all those flying geese units for.  I made the pattern larger, […]

So, now that Trace is all quilted and on my kitchen counter, what could I do, but start another Little Bites.  The one I selected to make is Whit (by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.), and I chose the design that features the Dutchman's Puzzle blocks.  I happened to have on hand (due to my recent […]

Champagne and a dancing child.  It doesn't get much better than this! My weekend was lovely, and I sure hope yours was as well.  We had such a nice celebration on Saturday.  Several readers have inquired as to the nature of the happy occasion.  Irish wedding bells?  No, not that.  My sister had been laid […]

Isn't that pretty?  The best $9 I ever spent.  I get these gorgeous orchids at my local Savemart, and for $9 they give me six weeks of pretty indoor blooms.  Sometimes more.  Living plants are such a treat to have inside, and anything with a spot of color is a bonus. I haven't been doing […]
