Thelma reminded me that we haven't officially wrapped up our Summer of Spools Sew Along! Thelma, Lisa and I had such a fun time making our versions and so enjoyed seeing some of yours.  But there is still a parade to have and prizes to give out!  We can't forget the most important part of […]

                                    That was fun!  Thanks so much for attending my Stash Sale and helping me spread out the fabric love.

You probably can't tell, but these are fall themed zippy eyeglass cases.  I am trying to get a jump on my next "color story" for my little bags that my son in law sells in his wine tasting room.  Love these fun fabrics by Sandy Gervais.  It was a fall collection she came out with […]

This is all I have to show for myself.  One block.  The lower one in red, yellow and green.  All I have been doing lately is working or chasing after the baby.  I got up at 6:00 AM on Sunday morning and staggered down to the studio to make the third block in the Designer […]

A big hug and kiss to Cheryl at Fig Tree Studio for her excellent advice as to what Moda Solid would be best as a coordinate for Fig Tree fabrics.  The cream Fig Tree uses is quite distinctive, as it is almost a pale yellow.  You can see how great it goes with the Fig […]

Thanks for your interest in my stash sale.  It was a great success!

Look at these buds just bursting open!  I am so excited to feel a hint of spring in the air.  I have an elevated back deck that gives me the feeling I am up in a tree house, and one of the trees that shades it is starting to do some very interesting things.  As […]

Well, actually I have sort of.  If not abandoned, neglected for sure.  So, I got out my book, my blocks, and my Marti Michell template instructions and tried to reconstruct exactly where I am in this project. I have progressed as far as the 27th block, using my Marti Michell template instructions.  Marti received permission […]

I am making good progress with my Birdie Stitches project, and have completed the second block.  This is the block for February–Kissing Birds.  (Sounds like "Kicking Bird" from Dances With Wolves). The stitching with fewer strands of thread (the flowers, stems and floating hearts) are definitely more forgiving than the thicker six strand stitching for […]
