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 […]
Hi there, just a brief update to let you know why my blogging has been sketchy in the past few days. Grandpa is very ill and has been in the hospital. Over the weekend we had to move him into a convalescent hospital, as he is unable to do much of anything for himself. It […]
Certainly I have been enjoying the inside of my new home, and getting it decorated for fall. However the outside has many charms as well, with wrap around covered porches and a very nice view. I bought some red citronella candles at the hardware store of all places, and love lighting them each evening and […]
This is Mary's quilt, the quilt that started it all. Can you believe that Mary saw my blog post yesterday and sent me the link to the photo of her using her sunflower quilt on her dining table for a harvest party? Go check out her link and be inspired, as I was! Mary has […]
So. This is the quilt that my friends Lisa (Stashmaster) and Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) are thinking of making together. Isn't this the funnest quilt you have seen in forever? I saw it first on someone's blog (forgive me, I don't remember whose). This blogger was using hers as a late summer, early fall […]
I sure didn't get any sewing done this past weekend, so I am showing you a recent acquisition that is still available from Fat Quarter Shop. Rene Nanneman is known for her beautiful small prints, many of which are the perfect background fabrics. She is famous for these "ditsy" prints, which in many cases nearly […]
I am so excited about a new project I am beginning, perfect for late summer/early fall. I can't tell you all about it just yet, as I hope to be sewing along with a couple of friends, and haven't conferred with them as to when we are going to officially start sharing the details. This […]
