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 […]
This has been a very unproductive week around here! Since I have not done any sewing, I wanted to share links to some various things you all might find of interest or inspiration. This book by Pam and Nicky Lintott has been out for some months, but it only just came to my attention. Paulette […]
I know I am not half as cute as Baby E, and I am more high maintenance to boot. But the family has laid down the law and Nicole won't be posting pictures of the baby's face in the future. But hey. What's wrong with my mug? As dogs go, I think I am pretty […]
I've been making zippy bags galore of late, as you can see from my photo above. I think my favorites are the little eyeglass cases! I have also made cosmetics bags in two sizes, large and small. What great gifts these will make! Wouldn't a set of all three bags make a nice presentation? If […]
I rallied at the eleventh hour on Sunday and got my BOM Rehab block done. This is block nine of the Mystery BOM featuring a 3 Sisters Christmas collection called Grace, that was sponsored by the Fatquartershop. Finally, I seem to be over the miserable virus that laid me low last week. I even felt […]
Have you heard the planting adage "Thiller, Filler, Spiller"? That is a handy way to remember that when you plant a container, it is good to have a central, taller, flashy plant (your "Thriller"), surrounded by some smaller plants that will fill up the open space, and perhaps add some interesting foliage (your "Filler), and […]
Honestly, I have come down with whatever virus Baby E has had, and feel like c&#p. Tylenol helps, but not nearly enough. (She seems to have recovered and is back to her happy self). So, just a short post to show you that I rallied and made my BOM Rehab Monday blocks. It just about […]
