Just a quick note to say all is well, I've just been busy. I was away this weekend visiting family, having a lovely time. Hope to get back in the sewing room today and work on my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for this month! My neighbor's lilac bush has just started to bloom, and is […]
Speaking of baby quilts, my student has started her third charity quilt. We had some nice pastel fabrics donated to us, so we are using these this time, rather than going shopping and spending money. My student is very fond of the Friendship Star block, as she made her mom four mug coasters featuring that […]
Next time you make a baby quilt, you might want to make a few burp cloths to go with it. When Eva was a baby, goodness, did we ever use a ton of these. I buy the prefolded diapers that have a thicker portion down the center. You can find them at places like Target […]
Every time I mention the Wiggle Stitch, someone asks me what it is and how to do it. I have posted on the topic before, so I hope those of you who visit here regularly aren't bored with the subject. First of all, this stitch undoubtedly has a proper name, but I don't know what […]
Ok. So I haven't done a post on grooming since, I guess, my home waxing debacle. We are not going to talk about that little incident. But I had something so astonishing happen in regard to my self tanning product, that I just have to share. Maybe over share. St. Tropez is a very high […]
Finally all the strips for my Red Pineapple quilt are cut out. Just the red ones are shown above. I made an executive decision to make this quilt 49 blocks (7 x 7) rather than 56 blocks (7 x 8). I used up every scrap of red French General fabric I own, and believe me, […]
My friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) is a very focused person. I love how organized she is, and how she mostly limits herself to working on one project at a time. She also often gives me pause to think on things in myself I would like to improve. Make that things in myself I would […]
This little table runner is what I made with my green and white flying geese. I don't know what came over me–I am so easily distracted when I am down in my sewing studio. The fabrics were just so fresh and springy, and who doesn't love working on a seasonal project, right at the time […]
There is no room in the studio for a new project. No room. So where did these strips end up? Why, on the arm of the rocking chair of course. Strips? What strips? The only strips you should be working with are the red French General strips for your Pineapple blocks. Ok, so those are […]
I have to laugh, it barely fits on my design wall! I am working away at connecting my rows of Long Road Home, little by little, day by day. I have some new responsibilities that have fallen my way of late, so I am finding sewing time a bit more challenging. Don't worry, I am […]
