The creepy crows are making another appearance on the living room mantel. I just love those guys, a Pottery Barn find of a few years back. I may love them, but the rest of the family, not so much. I think they add just the right autumnal touch to my seasonal decorating scheme. I came […]
I did a little happy dance on the front porch when I saw that this had arrived. Good thing I have a couple of guardians to watch over valuables until I can pick them up. At the moment I do not have specific plans for the bundle, just knew I had to have it. All […]
As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I had some big changes occur over the late spring and summer, one the biggest of which was that I moved. On the whole, that was an excellent change, as I never really loved the house I was living in. It was too small and rather ordinary, […]
I managed to finish my Another Year of Schnibbles project for August, just under the wire. I am calling my effort "Spooky Canasta" since I used the Halloween prints from a charm pack of Primitive Gatherings "Seasonal Gatherings" collection. I made the smallest version of the project since I started late, didn't have much fabric […]
Well, hey there. Welcome back to my blog! Due to a lot of big changes going on around here this summer, I have had to take a fairly long break from both sewing and blogging. Most of the changes have been good ones, and the rest we will all adapt to in time. The most […]
Just checking in to say hello and that I hope your summer is going well. Lots of changes for me this summer, but I hope to get back to quilty things (and blogging) by the end of this month. Enjoy these dog days of summer and I'll be back soon!
Welcome to the final reveal of the Blogger Girls BOM, hosted by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. This beautiful design of Monique's has been such fun to work on over the past six months. Monique designed a total of six quilt blocks, one a month, starting in January. She had clever alternate color suggestions, […]
Hello everyone. I am going to be taking a bit of a blogging break, at least over the summer. I have some responsibilities that are going to need my complete attention for awhile. I may post sporadically, but not with the regularity of the past. Thanks for checking in with me! Do come back and […]
It doesn't seem possible, but month six in the Blogger Girls BOM program is here already. My two blocks did come out quite different looking, which is good. I started with the variation block (pictured on the bottom), because I was really challenged by the difficulty of making sure I cut out the right fabrics […]
Gentle Arts is a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, and is this month's selected project in the Another Year of Schnibbles program, hosted by Sinta and Sherri. Mine was made with two charm packs put out by Primitive Gatherings, a set of reds and a set they call "shirtings". These old fashioned looking […]
