Eva and I got the Halloween decorations put away and brought out a few Thanksgiving things. Daylight Savings Time started, so it feels like it is dinner time, but it's only a quarter past 3. My photos are all kind of dark, and that is what it was like in my house at the time. […]
Because I need another project to work on right? This is the Designer Mystery BOM sponsored by Fatquartershop.com. The fabrics are Nantucket Summer by Camille Roskelley for Moda. The colors are fabulous, aren't they? Shades of blue and green and a wonderful cream background. This BOM and the fabric for it are so popular, much […]
We had a wonderful neighborhood Halloween gathering at my son in law's house near us. The adults sat around a small campfire in the front yard and greeted the kids and their parents as they came by for trick or treating. Eva's dad lives in a neighborhood that goes all out for Halloween, to the […]
Typepad, my posting platform, has been experiencing technical issues for the past four days or so. Sorry for the interruption to my blog posts. I am holding my breath that this posts properly! I was so excited for Friday to arrive last week because that is the day the new free Sewcialites patterns are released […]
Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of posts. Typepad has been down all weekend through Monday night when I am writing this. I can't post any pictures. It seems to be a big old mess and I hope they straighten things out ASAP. Halloween was a blast, and I will share a picture of Eva's […]
While I waited for Friday to arrive with the next Sewcialites block, I got back in touch with the Flea Market sew-along, which seems to have been abandoned by everyone who started it. It is a nice pattern/booklet by Lori Holt, and I really had high hopes for it to be a fun sew-along. I […]
I have made some real progress with my Family Reunion quilt. I have one more round of blocks to make. The next round will be square in a square blocks that finish at a crazy size: 3 3/8". I wonder if I can use my 3 1/2" square in a square piecing papers and just […]
I promised you all I had cleaned out my messy sewing closet. It is kind of meaningless to show you the final results without a "before" picture, but that is what I am doing. I guess I was too ashamed to show what a mess it was. I had been just tossing leftovers in there […]
The Sewcialites 2 sew-along has begun. This sew-along is sponsored by the Fatquarter Shop, and there will be block tutorials on YouTube each week. If you aren't doing it, you should consider it. The weekly patterns are free on the FQS website each Friday. I planned to do the 9-inch block in Lella Boutique's Flower […]
This is the second table runner I recently received back from my quilter. I used a fabric line by Bunny Hill for Moda. It is so gosh darn cute! For the runner itself, I think I just had a honey bun of 1 1/2" strips. Sure wish I had bought more of that fabric collection. […]
