Cough, cough, ack, ack. My goodness, these men are creating a lot of dust! Take two men with jack hammer like tools and let them at my tile master bathroom floor, and the air is swirling with dust. Woo. Hope the worst of it is over. Today they lay the new tile. In other news, […]
Here is my poor living room, almost empty. We are preparing to have the floors redone and had to move all the furniture out. My gosh, that room is as big as a barn without any furniture. So where's the furniture? Why stacked up in the garage, naturally. See those boxes in the foreground? They […]
Wow, there was so much interest yesterday in the information on how to expand the size of the Schnibbles Madeline block! If you would like instruction from the quilt designer herself, the fabulous Miss Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., go to her website, where she has provided the information on expanding a block by adding setting […]
I love this pattern. (Madeline, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.). I love this fabric. (Rounenneries by French General for Moda). I want to make this quilt, but I do not want a Schinbbles size quilt. I want a BIG quilt. Well, at least 70 inches or so square. But I don't want […]
Just so you know, I am not All Moda All the Time. I am All Moda Pretty Much of the Time, but do collect fabric from other manufacturers as well. The collection shown above is The Birds and the Bees by Keri Beyer for In the Beginning. This is such a fresh and energetic group […]
This week I want to show you some new fabric that has come into my life recently. The group pictured above is Rural Jardin, the new collection by French General for Moda. A generous benefactress, who pays me in fabric, sent it to me last week! Does it get any better than this? Will Work […]
I am so proud of myself! I recovered my grody table top ironing board this weekend. The first step was to put on two layers of batting, then a piece of pretty fabric. I flipped the board over, positioning everything just so, then got out the staple gun to secure the fabric and batting in […]
Hey, Sandy from The Textile House, also known as Strlady! You won those honey buns! Congratulations. Thanks to all of you for your comments during my Giveaway, I appreciate you so much. I will be having my best Giveaways yet once my house sells, so stay tuned for the next one–hopefully in the next month […]
Have ya'll heard of Mary Ellen's Best Press? Well, many quilters think it's a miracle in a bottle, that is for sure. Best Press is a spray starch in a non-aerosol bottle (environmentally friendly, doncha know?). It is a clear starch alternative that makes ironing a breeze. It smells real good (in several fragrances), will […]
I've been playing a bit in the sewing room this week. Trying to get used to the idea of spending a lot more time in there! I pulled out my Simple Abundance basket block project and had myself some fun. These colors just say Spring to me, and give my spirits such a lift. (Not […]
