I got upstairs yesterday before it got hot and finished up the borders on my little gold half square triangle table runner. Now I am all set to mail this trio of toppers off to my quilter. I am really looking forward to getting these into my late summer/early fall decorating rotation. Decorating with small […]
Ugh. It has been so hot here. Way too hot to go upstairs and sew. So, I have booted Ozzie out of my favorite chair and have been enjoying the most delicious book. I got this one at the library, as it is a newer release. The Summer Country by Lauren Willig. I have read […]
Just a quick post to let you all know I am still alive. The weather cooled down to the high 80s over the weekend, so I took advantage of the cooler temps and went out to the garage to organize my fabric storage. We picked up some new bins at Walmart and I was able […]
Yes I really did buy two of the same book. Luckily my random number generator picked commenter number 17, Nancy Watkins, to take one of them off my hands! Congratulations Nancy. Send me an email with your address and I will get one of these in the mail to you right away! Thanks to everyone […]
I managed to purchase a book twice once again. I am a big Jo Morton fan and tend to buy anything she publishes. Apparently I was very keen to add this title to my library, but I think one copy will be enough for me. Each chapter focuses on a single classic quilt block, along […]
I realized last week when I went to change out my red white and blue July decor for something more appropriate for late summer, that I am sorely lacking in table runners for this time of the year. For August and September I envision lots of yellow and gold; anything with sunflowers. I had started […]
My first finish in quite some time. This is Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern. Fabric is Larkspur by 3 Sisters for Moda. I won't lie, this pattern was a challenge for me. I used one of my Flying Geese trim tools for the flying geese, so those were not the issue, although there […]
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is […]
We are topsy turvy here. I think I have been avoiding my sewing room for two reasons: 1) It needs a massive de-clutter/de-stash and 2) the world's most difficult, confusing and frustrating quilt has been on my design wall for months. So this weekend, I tackled the clutter. I filled bins with fabric that is […]
I went to the dentist yesterday for a routine check up and cleaning. I had been to this dentist before, but had taken an almost two year hiatus from visiting him due to various reasons. I knew I was overdue for a cleaning so I bit the bullet and scheduled myself for an appointment. Let […]
