First Flake is finished! I am happy to have had the experience of making this fun and easy strip-pieced quilt. The pattern was purchased by me as a pdf download from an Etsy seller. I was inspired by Thelma's red and white version and will be excited to add this to my January/Winter decor. It […]
I am so darned excited about this sew along, only two weeks into it. I like the block designs that have been posted, but I especially love my fabric choice. I have cracked into my fat eighth bundle of 3 Sisters Holly Berry collection, but I have other coordinating collections on hand that I can […]
I have switched up my tiered tray again, this time with some touches of red for Valentine's Day. I really do have a lot of fun with this tray for seasonal and holiday decor on my kitchen counter area. It's ironic that most of these little items I already had. No need to break the […]
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 […]
I probably have no business starting up another Moda Blockheads project, since I never finished putting my blocks together for the first Moda Blockheads sew along in 2017/18. I do have all my lovely blocks from that one, and need to figure out a setting for them. I used Kansas Troubles fabric for that sew […]
I have started another one of those By Thy Hands projects by Buttermilk Basin. The pieced block is Spools, as you can see. I used striped fabric in the hope that it will help in the illusion of thread being on the spools. The wool applique is of a tomato pincushion and a spool of […]
I did not set foot outside my house for the past three days, and got a lot of sewing done! My husband being glued to the tv watching various football games also helped my productivity level. What have I been working on? Well, a couple of things. My main sewing project is First Flake in […]
I have been completely obsessed with making pizza lately. Several of you requested my recipe for pizza dough, and I plan to include it in today's post. I'll also tell you about some of our favorite toppings so far, and what other accessories come in handy for making pizza at home. We do not have […]
I have started a new project for January, called First Flake. Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) made one and as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… I ordered the pattern from an Etsy seller and chose some dark blue fabric with a snow flake pattern. I have been starching it in batches for […]
You know I love my seasonal decor, but when January arrives, I want to clear the decks and have things as uncluttered as possible. In my dining room, I am keeping it simple with mostly white accents. My dear husband came home from the grocery store with a spectacular bouquet of yellow roses, and they […]
