This week I have been focusing on my S'Mores quilt. S'Mores is a design by Jo Morton, which I first saw on Instagram. I am switching up my version however. I am making 4 inch finished square in a square blocks, and will separate them with a tan lattice. My blocks are all red and […]
I am ready for the next holiday! Over the weekend, I was able to finish up this little table topper for St. Patrick's Day. It still needs to be quilted, but that shouldn't be a big deal. The pattern is called Luck o' the Irish by Fons and Porter, and is on their website. You […]
I have a new ironing station! I shamelessly copied an Instagram photo Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) shared last week. I dragged my husband to Lowes and we easily found what we needed to create this ironing board and storage shelf. The entire project took less than a couple of hours to complete, believe it or […]
Here is a fun Friday Finish. This is a little mini quilt called Raspberry Cocoa, designed by Kim Diehl for one of her more recent Simple What Nots Club offerings. I wasn't a member of the club in the past couple of years, but managed to buy the kit from someone on Etsy. (It is […]
Admittedly, I did not accomplish as much as I had hoped with this little project yesterday. I had an appointment to get my hair cut in town and my husband tagged along with me, in the hope he could persuade my stylist to give him a trim at the same time. She did, and with […]
I got up yesterday morning with the intention of getting back to Courthouse Steps and finishing my last few blocks. My mistake was checking my blog feed and seeing so many posts from quilters who are making pink quilts this month. Hmmm. Did I have any pink fabric? Why yes, I did. Maybe I should […]
I have been putting off quilting my Scarlet Stars mini quilt because it just didn't seem finished to me. The pattern is a terrific one designed by Kim Diehl as a part of her Simple What Nots Club. This is what I had when I finished the pattern: However, I felt that it needed something […]
Feel like love is giving you the run around? Don't despair, you can sort it all out by making this cute Valentine's table topper. These flying geese are going around in circles trying to find the hearts, but I think it is a lost cause. We know what to do though. Some sewing has been […]
There is no sewing going on around here this week, so I thought I would share with you some other things I have been enjoying lately. First up is a nice hot cup of tea in the afternoon. I have a very pretty little Wedgwood tea pot and matching cup that I so enjoy using. […]
Yesterday was a great mail day. I had ordered several items and wouldn't you know, they all showed up on the same day. I am excited to share with you my new notebook (above), which I ordered from Erin Condren. This company is best known for their great planners/calendars, which I have enjoyed the […]
