This could be a wordless post, but of course I can't resist the opportunity to use words when I have the occasion. I just do not know what happened to me over the past two months. My asthma was acting up this winter, and I lost about 10 pounds. Bad about the asthma, hallelujah about […]
I have a new pattern I am hoping to use someday soon. It is called "Kiss Me" by Fig Tree and Co. I love the use of scrappy reds at any time, and this quilt fits the bill. It is made with fabrics from the Fig Tree Strawberry Fields collection, which I have been on […]
A big hug and kiss to Cheryl at Fig Tree Studio for her excellent advice as to what Moda Solid would be best as a coordinate for Fig Tree fabrics. The cream Fig Tree uses is quite distinctive, as it is almost a pale yellow. You can see how great it goes with the Fig […]
This week is just getting away from me already and it barely started! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. I did! I missed the BOM Rehab Monday post yesterday. So sorry!! Maybe I can get two blocks made this week for next time. My son in law opened up his new wine tasting […]
I've been so crafty this week! These are sixteen mug rugs I made for my son in law's new wine tasting room. Not to be used by the guests, but to be sold in sets of four. I plan to make lots more, and may do some sets of Drunkard's Path. Which would either be […]
There is nothing more effective for making you realize how tense you are than machine quilting. I got a notion to practice my machine quilting this week, and it was quite an eye opener. I had two pieces of wonky strips I had stitched together awhile back, and thought they would make cute table runners. […]
I just had to cut out a background square and make a center circle to be appliqued to one of my Dresden Plate blocks. Sure, I know, I have only made three out of the twelve "plates" so far, but I love to have a finished Inspiration Block to cheer me on while I complete […]
I have been seriously sidetracked this week. Well, maybe scattered is a better word. Being "sidetracked" implies that one has a primary project one is working on, to be sidetracked from. Since I have four or five dozen projects in various stages of incompletion, I can't technically be sidetracked, can I? It's just one big […]
Luckily this block was the easiest thing in the world to make, or I probably would have missed the BOM Rehab deadline today! Well, it is still Monday where I live, and I did come in just under the wire. I was wrong about the name of this collection of fabric in a previous post. […]
What a glorious weekend we had here in my little neck of the woods. Perfect weather in all ways. A little work, a little play, some family time, some sewing, and some good food. I got the binding on my T is for Thelma Schnibble and you can see it all pretty on my kitchen […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
