Sad as I am not to have Sara and Eva in my house all the time, there is one advantage to them moving out. I get more closet space for my fabric and sewing supplies. Sara's bedroom (which will now be a guest room) is right next door to my sewing room. That makes it […]
Yesterday on the Moda Cutting Table blog, Carrie Nelson posted about having a slew of projects going on at once. She put the question out there to her readers, if they were a one project at a time person or if they juggled multiple projects at once. I am definitely in the "more the merrier" […]
I am starting to think about Christmas, and it makes me happy. Of course I have just returned from The Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland), and have to admit, my general mood is pretty euphoric. We had a marvelous time, and have decided from now on, if we plan a trip there, to be sure […]
Hi there, hope all is well. My family is taking a bit of a vacation at the moment. We had to postpone our planned trip to Disneyland back in September due to the fires, but rescheduled it for this week. We are having a grand time. Yesterday Eva met a great number of princesses, and […]
Here is Tidbit, all bound and quilted. I put it on my hall table and made a little vignette with the ghost family and some other Halloween decorations. It made a cute photo, but as soon as Eva saw it, she commented that in her opinion, the ghosts were far better suited where she had […]
It may not look like much, but I have made substantial progress on Viola. I have finished all the appliquéd stem units and finished nine complete blocks. I quite like the look of the blocks all together! At this point I am still undecided as to what size to make this quilt. The pattern […]
This was my table setting for the Harvest Party last weekend. I have to remind myself that from now on I need to buy placemats in sets of 8. I seem to always get either four or six and then when I have seven dinner guests I am in a quandary as to how to […]
Oh my. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Forget about anything quilty. I have had so much going on. I had a "Harvest Party" on Saturday, complete with honored house guests. Lots of cooking. It was basically a Barefoot Contessa dinner. I started with her Eggplant Caponata, moved on to Michael Chiarello's Butternut Squash […]
This will be a longer post than usual. As you know, I am an avid reader and love to share some of the books I have enjoyed from time to time. If you are interested in hearing about some good books, grab yourself a cup of coffee and make yourself comfy for awhile! Girl Underwater […]
These funny looking things are my Viola Stems. The idea is, you cut them in half diagonally and have sections for two vase units. The appliqué part went pretty well. I used regular neutral Aurofil thread in the bobbin and invisible poly thread on the top. It is like sewing with a transparent hair, […]
