Do any of you take your sewing machine along on vacations? There is nothing better I like to do! My husband and I had a chance to trade our time share for a place up in Lake Tahoe, and I was happy as could be, thinking I could sit and sew the entire time I […]
Trying to post some pictures while I am away from home this week. I am failing miserably! I can take pictures just fine, but when I try to download them to my husband's laptop, then upload them to Typepad it doesn't work. I am on a little getaway and took my sewing machine along. I […]
Little by little, I am making progress with my Sunflower Sisters quilt. I grabbed a few minutes today and got my flip corners sewn onto the sunflower centers and lattice blocks. I have made the decision to make my quilt top smaller than the size in the Buggy Barn's Autumn in My Garden quilt pattern. […]
The sunflower centers are coming along. I have actually made 12 small ones and 10 large ones, but am considering making my project smaller than full sized. I put up nine large blocks to see what it would look like if the top were three blocks by three blocks, and think I could live with […]
I promise this is the last post on fall decorating. I just can't seem to resist the cute little mini pumpkins when I go to the grocery store. I mean really? How cute are these little guys? There are several decorating blogs I enjoy visiting, and the trend this fall seems to be decorating in […]
I just love it when we get a great discussion going on this blog! Thank you all for your very thoughtful comments on the subject of copying someone else's designs. Most of us don't mind a bit if our work is duplicated by someone else, and in fact find it flattering. Quilters tend to be […]
It was interesting to read the comments you all left regarding having someone copy your quilts. It seems that no one who responded really minds! The reason I asked is because I have a couple of friends who don't like it all that much. They like the fact that they have created something unique and […]
At the rate I have been finishing projects lately, I will probably get to these in 2016, but I did have to buy them. Crows and Pumpkins from Primitive Gatherings, just because it is so darn cute and so Fall. Abigail in Paris, which is a Heartspun Quilts pattern, designed by Pam Buda. This quilt […]
I actually got some sewing done yesterday in between making a crock pot dinner for the family, driving to the hospital to visit Grandpa, and having my nails done. All in all, a very successful day. Oh, and it started with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. It does not get much better than that. […]
Thanks so much for all your kind wishes yesterday. I am so happy to relate that Grandpa is doing better! When Eva and I went to visit him Monday morning, he was sitting up in a wheel chair, and dressed in his regular clothes. I doubt he dressed himself, but at least he was out […]
