I mentioned that I have been in a bit of a slump, sewing-wise. I have just not felt inspired by much of anything lately. I have definitely been bored by a couple of the projects I have worked on recently. Log Cabins are cool, but not terribly interesting to work on, I have decided. Maybe […]
Thank you for your sympathetic words of comfort over my recent Gmail disaster. It is such a mystery where my emails have been redirected. And so very frustrating to have to set up a new account/address. Would you believe Fatquartershop.com doesn't even know me anymore? Seriously? I must order $68 (on average) from them every […]
Sorry for the lack of posting lately. I have had an unprecedented disaster with my email accounts. They have disappeared. I stopped being able to receive mail about a week ago. No idea where my emails were directed–into the ether I guess. I went through all the trouble shooting tips offered by Google/Gmail to no […]
Just a quickie post. This gorgeous forsythia bush is growing along my front walkway. I remember being just a kid and seeing the yellow forsythia blooming along our driveway, always the first sign of spring. Sometimes there was even snow still on the ground! I love the cheerful yellow blooms on this bush, and the […]
Have you all tried making fabric baskets? They are so convenient for sewing accessories, children's small toys and all sorts of other odds and ends. For Valentine's Day, I gave Eva a Dog Washing Barbie, that came with all sorts of little puppies and dog washing paraphernalia. Tons of little pieces that were bound […]
It is a bit late, but I neglected to share my Valentine's Day with you. With all my running around these days I have barely been home to enjoy my pretty cards and flowers. The little table topper is Mon Ami, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. I made it smaller than […]
This month is just flying by. Between working, taking care of Eva and going to my dad's house to care for him three days a week, I don't know if I am coming or going. My father really doesn't need much attention, since he is pretty much recovered from his broken leg. In the down […]
This is the Log Cabin quilt layout that Sara has chosen for her quilt. #6, Four Squares. The first person to correctly guess what Sara's choice was is Cathy Burk. Cathy, send me your address and I will mail out your giveaway prize. I decided to giveaway a second prize to the next person to […]
So, today I will post photos of the nine quilt layouts I experimented with for Sara's Log Cabin quilt. I would love it if you all would vote on your best guess as to which layout Sara should choose for her quilt. On Friday, I will post the name of the person who first chimed in […]
Snail's Trail #7. I thought I was going to like this layout the best, but I am not sure. I had high hopes for it being graphic and contemporary. Radiating Star #8. I must have some blocks turned the wrong way. This layout looks like a big mess to me. I get nothin'. Framed […]
