Hi there. Sorry so many days went by without a peep from me. I have been completely sidetracked by working some extra hours and cleaning my house from top to bottom. Today I washed windows and have a lot more respect for the professionals. Something about fall makes me want everything to be spic and […]
Some of you have seen this already, as I finished it and had it quilted a few months ago. I loved making this little project, "Whit", a "Little Bites" pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. I used the Dutchman's Puzzle pattern variation and the fabric collection "Vintage Happy" by RIley Blake. This was super fun […]
All 86 Antique Stars are done. They are randomly slapped on the design wall, and are in desperate need of rearranging. I will play with them today and see what I can come up with. And if I don't like the result, I will make more stars! As I look at the photo, I want […]
And as soon as my house was all cleaned and the fall decorations put out, Ozzie went outside and tried to make friends with a skunk. That didn't work out so well. Now, anyone who comes into the house is greeted by, well, the smell of skunk. Which predominates over anything else one might notice. […]
I thought you might like a little tour around the house and porches. The decorating fairy has been busy around the place this week. The front porch. Outside dining table. Front entry table. Living room mantel. Dining room table. Sideboard. Kitchen vignette. I just have to show you my Spooky Canasta quilt one more time! […]
It is fall, Eva needed a new placemat, so here we are. I made it with a charm pack of Hello Fall (by Sandy Gervais for Moda) in no time flat. I pretty much made it up as I went along. Cut 2 1/2 inch squares to sew on the corners of four charm squares […]
While I was vacationing in August, my friend Lisa and I had the occasion to do a little shopping. I discovered this cute Teri Atkinson pattern and knew I had to have it. My grand daughter Eva has a special Lovey toy, a monkey she calls Ooh Ooh Ah Ah, that she sleeps with, carries […]
Lucy is completed! This pretty quilt took no time at all to make. In fact, after all the curved piecing and ruler drama I have had lately, this quilt was the perfect answer for me. I put a couple of audio books on the iPod and stitched away happily engrossed in both the books and […]
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. I had no idea you were going to be so large. I guess I have been working with such small projects lately, your size kind of surprised me. Don't worry though, we are going to get along fine. If I can get you put together. Your bottom rows are going to be […]
Another Kim Diehl project, Laundry Day. This little kit came to me from Fatquartershop.com, shortly after I joined the Simple What Nots Club, featuring monthly kits from Kim's patterns and fabric lines. It took no time at all to cut it out. The whole thing is just over 20" square, and will be a perfect […]
