Well, it didn't get done by Christmas 2015, but I can tell you it will be on my table during the holidays in 2016! This is Paganini, a Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern that has a number of variations in how to construct the block. This little pattern is worth the price, that is for sure. […]
I am a huge Denyse Schmidt fan. I have purchased most of her collections, and have used them in several quilts. I am jealously hoarding my leftover scraps for future projects. One of her earlier groups that I missed out on, was one called Katie Jump Rope. Oh my gosh was that collection of fabric […]
I've been playing around a bit with possible setting layouts for the Log Cabin blocks I have been making for Sara's quilt. At the moment, I like this idea, but may change my mind once I get a few more blocks made and can get an idea of the effect more blocks can have when […]
Seriously, the amount of time these blocks have been on my design wall is shameful. The quilt is Viola, a Miss Rosie pattern. I am so happy to tell you all that I decided to go with a 12 block, 3 by 4 setting, and use the finished quilt in Eva's room here at my […]
Looking at a Log Cabin quilt, you would think it is so simple. And it is, or can be eventually. As mentioned in my previous post, I am using the Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool, which is terrific. I got the idea for the Log Cabin project from a YouTube video called Hope Blooms […]
I've been experimenting with a new ruler, and I have to say I really love it. That is the Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool. I got the idea to make a Log Cabin Quilt from a Fatquarter Shop Video on how to make a Log Cabin quilt they called Hope Blooms. It is part of […]
This is my alternate version of the Frivols #5 kit. The primary pattern in the kit didn't float my boat so much, but luckily each Frivols box contains a card with an alternate design suggestion. To all of you who haven't even taken the plastic off your Frivols tins: You need to check out what's […]
I am just eeeaaasssiiinnnggg back into sewing by making up a little Frivols project. I dived into Frivols #5, because I liked the French General fabrics. Never mind that I haven't done Frivols #1, 2, 3 or 4. I will get to them one of these days. This is the primary pattern for Frivols #5, […]
It's all cleared away. It took my husband and I all day on Sunday to do it. Cleared off counters, pared down decorations, no clutter to be seen. Man, does that feel good. I love getting out all the holiday decorations–tubs and tubs of them. Two trees, garlands, santa and snowman collections, scented candles etc […]
Well hey there. Happy New Year! I hope you all had a safe and healthy celebration to ring in 2016. I thought in keeping with the new year, goals, resolutions, and discovery I would share something with you that I am just loving. David's Tea is a Canadian company that came to my attention […]
