How perfect is this cartoon for my current circumstances? I did see a doctor yesterday and got a prescription for anti-inflammatory medicine, which I am happy to say seems to be working. Yesterday all I did was lie on my sofa reading books with my foot propped up in the air. While the condition can […]
I had so much fun making these 6 1/2 inch Pineapple blocks with the Creative Grids ruler. The blocks came out so perfect. I'd love an entire quilt of these little blocks. I have to say, I think a whole quilt would take a ton of fabric. What a stash buster though. In other […]
Aren't these mini Pineapple Blocks the cutest things ever? I was totally inspired by a block Thelma made and posted on Instagram. She is making an epic Jen Kingwell sampler quilt, and one of the blocks in the quilt consists of nine mini Pineapple Blocks. Seriously, go check out Thelma's picture of it on Instagram. […]
Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving, if you celebrate that holiday. We had a simple and quiet one, which suited me just fine. My new son in law came over with Sara and grilled a turkey on the rotisserie of the barbecue. We had a small, just under 12 pound, turkey, which we brined […]
My table is all set. I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, I but planning the tablescape is one of the things I enjoy most about holiday meals. Oh, I have been doing a bit of cooking as well. I have rolls made, cranberry sauce done, and cornbread baked and drying out for […]
I have been sewing up a storm these past few days! I got my Barn Stars all finished, and will probably put that little quilt top together after the Thanksgiving holiday. As much as I hate to drag myself away from the QE440, I do have some cooking to do for the feast day. My […]
Honestly. I wish I had purchased a Bernina 440 Quilter's Edition years ago. This is a fabulous sewing machine. I love my Bernina 153, and it has been a really reliable workhorse. For 19 years. But everything about the 440 is an upgrade. I spent all weekend sewing on it, and I just can't tell […]
Can I hear a loud "Woooo Hoooo!"? Look what my sweet husband bought for me! I am so excited to add this Bernina Quilter's Edition 440 to my sewing table. I have two slots for sewing machines, one being designated for the currently missing in action Bernina 740, and the other for my backup […]
Lazy day around the house yesterday. I finished a few more Barn Stars. Eight done, eight more to go. These little blocks are so cute and fun to make. That tiny darker square in the center of each block is a one inch square sewn diagonally on the corner of a 1 1/2" square. […]
I started a new project yesterday, called Barn Stars. These little blocks are the cutest things ever. They are only 4 1/2 inches! It is a Simple What Nots kit I never got around to finishing, and now that I have time on my hands, I can finally get to it. I am simply loving […]
