Remember me telling you about my birthday celebration, when my sister Andrea made Fruit Pizza for dessert? This is my favorite dessert. Andrea made the recipe again on the 4th of July, when we got together to celebrate my nephew Eric's birthday. The picture above is Andrea's, and the Fruit Pizza is the one […]
Carrie over at La Vie en Rosie and Camille at Simplify have challenged us to set aside any pride we might have and show some pictures of our first quilting effort. Then, after that little humiliation is complete, to show our most recent quilt. Deep breath. Are you ready? I have always been a multi-tasker […]
Kelly over at Charming Chatter is hosting a Quilt Club this summer. Click on the link on my left side bar and go check out what her proposal is in detail. To summarize, the Charming Girls' Quilt Club is a group that vows to finish one UFO per month this summer. If you finish a […]
My favorite memories of celebrating the Fourth of July as a kid certainly involved family reunions, great food, and staying up late to watch fireworks over Belleville Lake. But the BEST thing about the Fourth was getting to hold a sparkler. How I loved those silly things. Way into my teen aged years. I bet […]
Not a heck of a lot of sewing going on this week. My hour a day plan has been temporarily derailed, but I plan to get back on schedule this weekend. My two jobs have eaten into my free time this week, as I have been putting in some extra time at one of them. […]
I am just so happy with the way this quilt top turned out! I used the pattern Summer Wind by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., and the beautiful fabric collection Wuthering Heights by 3 Sisters for Moda. I got the idea to use this fabric with that pattern from Camille Roskelley (Simplify) who made the exact […]
Where am I going, and why am I in this hand basket? I tell you, things are falling apart around here. The beds are unmade, the laundry is piling up, the dishwasher needs unloading, there are crumbs on the floor, and we are not even going to address the dust issue. So why can't I […]
As it is my birthday month, the presents are still trickling in. You just never know what will appear in the mailbox! The glory you see in the picture above was sent to me by my friend Lisa of Stashmaster. The very latest Sturbridge Village collection "Greens", 19 gorgeous Civil War prints designed by Judie […]
Ok, man alive, did I get comments from you all yesterday! Didn't realize I had struck such a nerve. So, here is the untrimmed block I made with the wonky, not so perfect flying goose unit. As you see, the block did come out a bit wonky. I believe though, with proper trimming, this block […]
You all know I was making flying geese units last week. Most of them turned out fine and dandy like the one pictured at the top of my photo. A few turned out not so great, like the one below. See how the fabric doesn't match up at the top? Obviously, both units need trimming […]
