Spring was in the air over the weekend, and I was in the mood to work with some Springy fabrics. I chose Paradiso by Kate Spain, for its lovely aqua, blue, pink and coral tones. I had a couple of charm packs, which is just what you need to make a Schnibbles (Miss Rosie patterns) […]
"Oh Eva, what a fine job you did on this project! Did you make that in kindergarten? Can you tell me who that is?" "Donald Trump". Something definitely got lost in the translation. We all need to start our week's off with a laugh, right?
I have had a chance to try out the Clearly Perfect Angle on my sewing machine, and have to say it is quite satisfactory. There is some bit of fiddling around getting it into the correct position, and the directions are not as clear as they could be. I got it in place finally, and […]
It's a busy week around here, so I doubt I will get any sewing in until Thursday, if I am lucky. I hope to post again on Friday. This past weekend I was able to get all my units made for the Buzz Saw blocks. I am all set to start sewing those blocks together […]
I started a new project yesterday. I got out those pretty Garden Notes fabrics by Kathy Schmidt and got busy cutting out strips for "Buzz Saw". I think the blocks will go pretty fast, particularly if I concentrate on making the units of one size all at one time. I can chain piece and crank those […]
I made another little green table topper with my leftover green scraps. I just couldn't let them go to waste. The one pictured above is called "Mite", a Miss Rosie "Little Bites" pattern. It measures just around 24 inches, a good size for the center of my dining table. The one I made for Sara […]
I am thrilled to say that Penny Pincher, a Primitive Gatherings pattern by Lisa Bongean is a finish. This quilt was a joy to piece, and the result makes my heart sing. The quilt top seems almost to glow from within. I made the quilt somewhat smaller than the pattern called for, and pretty much […]
Well, this week sure did get away from me! I did have most of the day on Thursday to sew, and decided to make a March table topper for Sara. I have made this Roundabout Schnibble by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. previously and have enjoyed it in my home. I thought Sara would like one […]
Here's my sweet girl, making a heart with her hands and wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day. We spent the day together yesterday, as her school is the only district in America which still has Lincoln AND Washington's birthdays off. We had fun, going to Target, Ulta and Red Robin for lunch. Who knows, maybe […]
This Penny Pincher quilt is enormous! I have more or less got it up on the design wall, 11 blocks across and 11 rows down. The blocks on the right end are held up by blue painters tape because I am out of design wall to stick them on, and the bottom two rows are […]
