I managed to get up into the sewing room and sew one block in the Cali & Co sew along Corey Yoder is hosting. This is block 10. I also need to make block 9, but 10 looked easier, so I made that one first. I’m super overwhelmed right now with “stuff”, so I took […]
I have been away for a couple of days consulting a doctor in Palo Alto. When I got home I wanted something good for dinner, but didn’t want to work to hard to get it. I settled in on Easy Sausage Rigatoni, which took about 15 minutes to prep and about 20 minutes to cook, […]
I do apologize for not having more quilty content for you all of late. I have been so darn busy with trips to the Bay Area for medical appointments. And it isn’t like driving 20 minutes there and back. I live almost 3 hours away from the medical group that I go to, so it […]
I got all my fabrics lined up for the Winter Village project. The fabrics are from a couple of Lella Boutique Christmas collections. I had to order a few more greys and greens (and maybe a red or two) because I didn’t have quite enough variety. Now I have enough to make the entire quilt. […]
I simply could not wait until the end of the month to recommend these great October books. Honestly, these were all so good, I strongly suggest that you pick up one or more of them for the perfect seasonal reads for autumn! I am not going to go too much into plot detail here, just […]
I have seen this guy all over Instagram (@yourbarefootneighbor) and have been so intrigued about his cookbook. He is Matthew Bounds, and his cookbook is called Keep It Simple Y’all. His cookbook is full of very simple family meals that you can make in the crock pot, sheet pan and Dutch oven. Basically, all one-pot […]
I have made some really decent progress on my Halloween Figs quilt top. To tell you the truth, I hesitated picking this project up again right now because I am feeling a bit “Halloweened-out”. In spite of my initial misgivings, I went ahead and brought out the project box and spent about a half an […]
I am happy to say that I have moved on to a new Halloween UFO project! I pulled out my Fig Tree monthly sew-along that I’ve been working on for at least two years. This one is called Halloween Figs. Some of the blocks do involve applique and as you see, I have my units […]
I promised to show you my completed fall projects today, and I have failed to do that completely. I fully intended to finish sewing the rows together for the Spooks and Spells quilt that you see on the right in the photo above, but that didn’t happen. Sara and I did a book review podcast […]
Honestly, I really have been working on finishing up my Halloween projects. I have sewn the Pumpkin Gatherings top together and nearly have finished the Spooks and Spells top. I just got really distracted yesterday pulling out Christmas projects that I have been wanting to do. I promise to show you my finished Halloween projects […]
