Woo Hoo! My Web Sampler project has a deadline of this Tuesday, July 1, and I am nearing the finish. At least I think the deadline is this Tuesday. Ahem, that would be TOMORROW, wouldn’t it? Nobody has been talking much about this project we started together quite awhile back, so I just thought I […]
Mom discouraged bragging in our house when I was growing up, but I know she would give me some slack if I pat myself on the back for finishing this quilt top. I have been struggling to get this done for more than two years! The first challenge was the appliqued circles. I am […]
I don't have anything super interesting to blog about today, so I will tell you about one of my pet peeves. Back in April I had a job interview and really wanted to look modern and polished and professional–you know "office worthy". Dress for the position you want, they say. So, Macy's was having this […]
I have to be one of the most fortunate people in Blogland. Through blogging over the past year and a half, I have made some truly fabulous friends all over the world. Imagine my astonishment when I opened my front door and discovered this package that had traveled all the way from Australia! My friend […]
Somebody turned one year old. It didn't start out as an unusual day. Maybe a few more snuggles and cuddles and gooney baby talk, but all in all it seemed pretty typical. Then it started to rain treats and chew bones…… And then a flock of turkeys came into the yard to play! Wow, […]
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight……No, not that kind of star. Fabric stars! I pulled out the UFO labeled "Roman Holiday" and got to work on it over the weekend. Lots of stars in this pattern–in fact, it is ALL stars and flying geese! The pattern is Opening Day by Miss Rosie's Quilt […]
No I am not making myself a little prison uniform, even though some of you may think that is where I belong due to my bad habit of sewing over pins. I have been making strip sets galore. These strip sets are the reason I set this quilting project aside a year ago. I had […]
Meet "Not Vanilla Latte"! She was supposed to be made out of an entirely different pattern which was called Vanilla Latte, but I didn't care for that pattern so much, even though the name is cool. I chose another pattern called Citrus Punch from the same book, and used my layer cake of At Water's […]
I have been breaking an awful lot of pins and needles lately. I sew over them and something makes a big clunk and I am left with a bent or broken pin, or worse, a snapped off needle. It occurs to me that perhaps I am using pins that are too thick. Can you friends […]
I admit it. I am weak. My goal this summer was to finish a good percentage of the unfinished projects that are filling up my stash closet and plastic project storage boxes. I had this fantasy in my mind that at the end of the summer I would pose for a picture next to a […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
