I made a little test block for the Laundry Basket "Aurora" project I am embarking upon. It is an adorable little four inch finished block. There are 127 of them called for in the quilt top. I will probably be working on this project for the next three years. Those are tiny little star blocks. […]
I have been prepping my next project and am getting pretty psyched up about it. Gosh, that expression reminds me of college. My house mates were always talking about being "psyched" about one thing or another. That sure dates me. Did you ever use that expression or is that way earlier than your time? Funny […]
This pattern is an oldie but a goodie. It is Liberty Road by Minick and Simpson. I have wanted to make it for quite some time, and finally got around to it. It doesn't have an outer border, although you could add one on if you wanted to. I think the pattern is supposed to […]
Oh gosh, I may not be sewing up a storm, but some serious shopping has been going on. The gorgeous stack of blues in the photo above is from the Regency Blues by Christopher Wilson-Tate collection by Moda. Oh my goodness, is this fabric ever lovely. I have a plan to make a Laundry Basket […]
Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. Lots of time with family, what could be better? My daughter and her husband came over for brunch (which she mostly prepared), and we had a great visit. Later in the day, my son in law (ex) invited us over for a barbeque, and […]
Thanks for all your thoughts on what to do when you aren't feeling the love for your current quilting project. So many of you suggested putting the project away for now and picking up something new. The project you put away isn't necessarily a dud, it just isn't what you need right now. It can […]
I am kind of stalled out on this project, to tell you the truth. Not long ago, I finished a Double Nine Patch quilt that called for many nine patch blocks, and it was probably not the best idea to start another project involving nine patch blocks so soon. I have really been putting off […]
Hello there. Thanks for your positive comments about me doing a monthly favorites post. I think that should be fun. We are home from our vacation to Lake Tahoe, and our son Ahren is on his way home to Dublin. I wasn't so sad saying goodbye to him this time because I know we will […]
Had to share this photo of my brother in law with his newborn grandson. Have you ever seen such a sweet picture? This is little Jacob, younger brother to Johnathan. My new grand nephew. Born just a few days ago. Robert, my brother in law (the little guy's grandpa), just returned from a three week […]
I thought it might be fun to start a new monthly blog post of things that I really enjoyed over the course of the month. I'll start with this past month of April, and share a number of items (books, cosmetics, recipes, tv shows, household things, sewing accessories etc) that you might appreciate as well. […]
