My friend Lisa at Stashmaster has posted a picture of a quilt she completed for Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie fame to present at Quilt Market, so I guess that gives me permission to post photos of mine! Months ago we both were invited to do some stunt sewing for Carrie on a couple of […]
Did you ever get home from a vacation and find yourself incapable of doing much of anything? I'd say this week has been pretty much a complete waste, except that I did meet with a real estate agent about selling our house. She liked the house but thought the yard was messy. I told her […]
If you are lucky enough to have a quilting studio all your own, then you are truly blessed. I am enjoying having a space all my own to create and dream. Technically, I haven't actually used my finished room yet…because I forgot to buy a chair! Ikea is no where near by, so I'm hunting […]
I would have prefered diamonds, but this is pretty good too… The Wine Maker finished putting my composter together, and it really doesn't make for exciting photography. However, it does make great dirt in 4 to 6 weeks. What's the point you ask? Well, compost creates a food source for a selection of life that […]
Cheryl asked if I was going to Italy on my trip—Um, no, that is a really great idea, but not this time! lol I am going back to my childhood roots in Michigan! You see, my Aunt Donnie is celebrating her 81st birthday (she and Sara share the same birthday!), and one of my […]
Oh hello… Long time no see! Guest Blogger Sara here! The above shot is of mom's completed cushion redesign for the patio set she gifted me. A gorgeous toile complete with red stripe and button. A project like this would have really overwhelmed me, but she whipped this together in a mater of hours. She […]
Flash back to May 2008. I had just recovered my patio set with this snazzy red and cream fabric. Doesn't it look fresh and new? Well, after leaving it out in the elements for the better part of two years, the cushions now look like this: Soiled, faded, and tired. This wrought iron set […]
Today was blind installation day. A very nice Blind Guy came to the house and spent several hours putting in new blinds in my living room, dining room and master bedroom. Check. One more thing off the list. While he was here, I asked him to help me move some of my furniture back into […]
I have moved on to working on my Elizabeth quilt. I am combining fabric groups for this quilt. Mostly I will be using French General's Rouenneries, but my light background is from the 3 Sisters group Martinique, and my fussy cut star centers are from Rural Jardin, the new collection from French General for Moda. […]
Have you all heard of Material World? Created in 1994 in honor of the United Nations Year of the Family, it is an amazing pictorial journey all over the world, where people in various countries bring every single possession they own out in front of their house and pose for a picture. From country to […]
