Hey. Not much going on here. Yesterday I worked on the piano key border for my Neptune quilt, which I had set aside for Madeline and Elizabeth. Gosh, this is a cheerful quilt! Puts a smile right on my face. Love this fabric collection by Tula Pink. It turns out that Tula Pink is not designing for […]
I have not been sewing this week. After my marathon of quilt tops and hand sewing bindings, I just haven't felt the urge to mess up my nice tidy sewing room. What have I been up to? Reading, that's what. I thought it might be fun to share with you some of the books I […]
As I write this, I am about to turn in after a nice holiday weekend with family. We had a great Sunday dinner/birthday celebration/4th of July party at my dad's house. I didn't even have to drive home (Ahren was the designated driver), so I could enjoy my sister Andrea's watermelon margaritas. Better than Jamba […]
Isn't this a pretty tablescape? I just love decorating for any holiday. That being said, that is not my table shown above, and I haven't done any decorating for the 4th of July. I have however been extremely inspired by a few blog sites where very creative folks have done so. Please join me for […]
Yes Sir, I can spin that straw into gold, and I think your name is Rumplestiltskin. I feel a bit like that poor girl who was locked away in a cell, spinning the hours away. My material is not straw, however, but bindings. Bindings. Miles and miles of bindings. Good gravy, I am not looking […]
Told you I was going to use up those blue blocks that didn't make it into my first version of Stargazer. I can't remember when I have had so much fun with making a quilt! I never make a quilt twice- I may have done it a couple of times in my life, but usually, […]
This is an expensive hobby we share, isn't it? I had to go out and purchase the backings for three big quilts yesterday. Of course the quilts were all larger than 80 inches square, so I had to purchase yards and yards of fabric. I love it when the quilts finish around 72", and I […]
I am thrilled with how this quilt came out. Thrilled! I could not have accomplished this without your suggestions, encouragement, and help with finding fabric. I feel like it is "our" quilt! How completely different it is from my first vision of blues, reds and browns. When that combination just wasn't working with my […]
When I got home from my weekend of gallivanting all around Creation with Sara, I had many packages in my mailbox. Smile. It sure is nice to have so many leads from all of you when I find myself short of fabric. Always Quilting, Snowy River Quilts, Quilt Patch Lane, and my friend Jean (In […]
I think this is such a pretty fabric group. Park Avenue by 3 Sisters. I often have issues incorporating blues into my quilts, but this little touch of pale aqua is going to work in just fine. A nice accent, not at all dominant. The super dark espresso brown really pleases me, and you all […]
