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 […]
Wow. Remember this little Schnibbles? I call it Spooky Canasta. It is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. that I finished just about a year ago. My quilter (Mary of Quilt Hollow) just sent me this picture, and I tell you, she transformed this little quilt. I never cease to be amazed by the imagination […]
I have been working away on my orange and black checkerboard blocks for "Lucy", and have worked myself up into a fine Halloween frame of mind. I took a break from checkerboard blocks this weekend and stitched up this cute little Halloween table topper in one day. I have been thinking of making this […]
I was very lucky to snag a beautiful kit of cream, orange and black fabric from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. recently. The kits were in very limited supply and appear to have sold out, but don't despair, you can still put together these fabrics on your own, with a little effort. If you don't have […]
I have shared with you in the past the great sewing studio I had in my former house. The house itself wasn't so great by any means, but my husband sweetened the pot by promising me he would put in a perfect sewing studio in an outbuilding to the house. And he did. I […]
My memory is just kaput, I tell you. My friends have all been setting me straight as to 1) the name of this pattern, 2) exactly where I was when I started it, and 3) what fabric line I used. Darcy is the name of the pattern, a Schnibbles, designed by Carrie Nelson of Miss […]
Oh dear, I have done it again. Somehow buried something very cute at the bottom of the stash closet and forgot I had it. I made this little Schnibbles quilt years ago. Years ago, as in 2007. I took a class with Carrie Nelson, at Buggy Barn, and this one one of the projects. I […]
