It was one of those days. I would think I was doing great, and then….Ooops. My seam ripper and I were very close on Thursday. I fixed it, but it kind set the tone for the morning. The 2017 Triangle Gatherings block actually gave me no trouble, unless one of you sees a unit turned […]
I was able to finish this pretty quilt early this week. I have been calling it Buzz Saw, because I think that is one name for this classic quilt block. The pattern is called Summer Wind (a dumb name if I ever heard one), which I cannot wrap my head around. The fabric line by […]
I have not been spending a ton of time in my sewing room, but have gotten a couple of things done. The block above is Block #2 from the Moda Block Head Sew Along. This one was designed by Betsy Chutchian, whose fabric lines I have enjoyed. This Sew Along will provide free patterns for […]
Sara and I have been having one night of home made pizza each week when we are on our own. I thought you might get a kick out of seeing some of the creations we have come up with. The most recent one from last week is in the photo above. I used a Pillsbury-in-a-tube […]
This week I have been in the mood to just make blocks. I finished blocks 18 and 19 of the 2017 Triangle Gatherings project, hosted by Lisa Bongean. I am enjoying seeing those blocks on my small design wall, but am afraid I will soon be out of space to display them all. She just […]
You know how we all have our little eccentricities? And sometimes the people we love are a little bit nuts in some areas, but we turn a blind eye? Well, let me tell you about my husband. He is super generous, and has many many wonderful qualities. But he is a little bit crazy […]
I've got all my Buzz Saw blocks finished and ready to sew together. The light blue color palette is so soothing. I know I will end up passing this quilt on to Sara, probably for her birthday. The colors seem to suit her better than they do me, and I know that she likes the […]
I got so much done this weekend, which is surprising, since the weather was so lovely, it was a shame not to be outside. I got the Joy Luck Schnibbles pieced together, and think it turned out very pretty. I used an older line of Kate Spain's called Paradiso. Those pink, coral, navy and aqua […]
It was a beautiful warm early Spring day today, just perfect for starching a fat quarter bundle prior to beginning a new project! I am so happy that the weather is warming up and becoming a bit more sunny. So tired of all the rain we have been getting (I know we need it, blah […]
Isn't this a beautiful book? It is a British edition, that I bought from a used book store. The Brits seem to take so much more care and pride with their editions. This cover is exquisite, but just look at the inside– Inside the cover, the book is lines with gorgeous wallpaper like yellow paper. […]
