My mom was some kind of lamp genius. She could make a lamp out of anything, I kid you not. The lamp above was from a tea canister she picked up somewhere. She made many a lamp in her day, and as they say, they broke the mold when she passed away. Mom was unique […]
I am starting a new project, which I hope to have completed by the end of this month. I should have started it earlier, as it is a project I am doing to launch a friend's new book, and typically, with things of this nature,there is a deadline. Things like organizing this new studio have […]
Thanks for your interest in my stash sale. It was a great success!
I really am making progress with organizing the quilting studio. Look! I got a quilt hung! We had some decorative drapery rods from a previous house we lived in and we repurposed one of them as a quilt hanger. The space between the tall cabinets is not terribly wide (48"), so hanging an unfolded quilt […]
Someone please remind me. Never. Buy. Any. More. Civil. War. Reproduction. Fabrics. Ever. Again. A friend recently cautioned me that whatever I do, not to think of the money I spent on all this fabric and all these kits. Ok. I'll try. HOLEY MOLEY! Yes, it is just like Christmas, just like a number of […]
No, not really. No hazardous materials here. Just quilts, fabric and more fabric. Look, I have really reduced the number of boxes! Lots of unpacking going on here. And lots of evaluating. Do I really need to keep this if it doesn't make my heart sing? I think there will be some purging going on […]
My husband trundled all the boxes from where they have been stored in the garage, down to the studio. The small boxes contain mainly fabric, the medium size boxes are full of project boxes, UFO's, flimsies and supplies. The large boxes are full of folded quilts. My job is to unpack these things and find […]
My cabinetry is in! I don't have much time to post today, but wanted to share a picture of my entire wall of storage in the studio. I have four tall 36 inch wide cabinets and two shorter 24 inch wide cabinets. Do you think that will be enough space for all my project boxes […]
Can you guess why Handyman Bill might be coming back? Look what got delivered yesterday!! The cabinets for my quilting studio! Excited much? I will keep you posted on the progress of installing them and getting the studio organized. I could be unpacking things next week! Meanwhile, I have been working on a few non-quilting […]
Look at these buds just bursting open! I am so excited to feel a hint of spring in the air. I have an elevated back deck that gives me the feeling I am up in a tree house, and one of the trees that shades it is starting to do some very interesting things. As […]
