This terrific recipe book was in the package from Mary Wood (Scottish Nanna)–as if the blue and white appliqued table cloth wasn't enough of a birthday present to me! Her daughter in law makes them, and I think it is a fabulous idea. How sweet and thoughtful a gift this is. In fact, I have […]
My friend Mary Wood, who lives in Australia, sent me something quite wonderful for my birthday. She is just the most thoughtful person! Mary has a blog called Scottish Nanna–you should check it out. Stop by and tell her hello, she would love it. She has a large family–over 40 grand children (!!!), and is […]
Do your friends and family ask you to do sewing chores for them? Do they think that since you own a sewing machine and use it often that any tailoring project will be right up your alley? No sweat, easy peasy? Yeah. Me too. And in general it is a huge drag. I don't mind […]
Thanks guys, for all your kind words of support yesterday. So I guess my boring life is actually entertaining to some of you… I think some people forget that an individual's blog is a journal of sorts–a record of that person's interests and a diary of their activities. If it ends up being enjoyable reading […]
Here is my Sophie Girl, enjoying her own special version of R&R. She plays hard, and nobody can equal her when it comes to catching a few zzzz's. It's a good thing Welsh Terriers don't shed much. I should make this picture my new blog header. Not. I am going to take off for the […]
I have two quilts I would like to share with you today. A lovely lady named Patt, who reads this blog, emailed me to say she thought I would enjoy seeing them. And I think you will too! Are you as blown away as I am? Isn't this exquisite? She has used the French General collection […]
I received a package in the mail this week from someone special, for whom I do a bit of stunt sewing from time to time. I don't know how wise it is, but she rewards me before I actually do any work for her. This is what was in the box: Oh so pretty, but […]
Remember Beach Cottage? I pulled it out last week and started working on the blocks again. A few of you have emailed me to say, what the heck happened to that project? I had intended to finish it long before this! I found some plaid fabrics that coordinate with the florals and may add them in to the mix for […]
I have been buying dishes. I do not know what it is about china, but it makes me so happy to acquire it. I have seen these dishes in a couple of places–Susan of Blackberry Creek has at least one, and Wspersweetly of Cottages has an entire set that she used for her 4th of July tablescape. […]
Every Thursday I check out a blog called Between Naps on the Porch. Susan has a wonderful blogsite, and every Thursday she hosts something she calls Tablescape Thursday, where she photographs her tablescape of the week and links to other blog sites that are doing the same. It is so much fun to see the creative […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
