Another productive sewing day for me yesterday. This has been quite the week for getting my mojo back. I finished the fourth and fifth blocks in my 2011 Designer Mystery BOM. The setting is going to be so cute. I will be making little stem units so it appears that each block is a flower. […]
I tell you, give me a week to spend sewing, and I can get things done. Lately that hasn't been happening though, but due to a Covid outbreak in the family, I have been able to get up in my sewing room for extended periods this week. And look what I found. This is an […]
Another glorious day of sewing yesterday. I have finished the first three months of the Fatquartershop Block of the month sew-along "Among the Stars Again". Now, here's a question for you. I could make this same block of the month with Fig Tree Halloween fabrics. I have a bundle of Fig Tree Pumpkins and Blossoms […]
The New Year has gotten off to a great start for me. My goal is to tackle my large number of UFOs and either finish them or let them go. It's probably not surprising that I was drawn right back into the Lori Holt Red Sampler quilt. I had completed only six weeks of the […]
2021 was an outstanding reading year for me. I read a total of 125 books! More important than that number, however, is the fact that out of those books, 23 of them earned 5 star ratings from me. Here are my stats: 33 books in Hardback67 books on my Kindle25 books on Audio Here is […]
There comes a time in each quilter's life when she needs to face up to the UFO situation. Are you organized? Do you even know what unfinished projects are hidden away in your sewing room? If you went back in time, how many years old are some of your abandoned projects? 2012 was the oldest […]
I took this picture of Ozzie, thinking he looked like a sleeping rabbit, with his ears sticking up. Poor fellow, he had been to the dog groomer, and it took all the starch out of him. He has lost his hearing in the past year or so, and it makes me wonder if he perks […]
Happy New Year! I started the year out right by putting away most of our Christmas decorations and getting up into the sewing room. They say if you start the year as you plan to continue it, you have a chance of doing just that. Fingers crossed I will be doing more sewing this year. […]
Amidst the holiday hubbub, I managed to get into the sewing room for an hour or so. If I don't keep up with the Christmas Among the Stars Again sew along I am going to get behind. This is one of two blocks for the second month of the sew-along. I just paid for month […]
Hope your holiday celebrations have been as magnificent as mine have been! Since our son arrived home from Ireland, we have been cooking up a storm. All the dishes he has been craving, and some new experiments as well. On one of his first nights home, we made homemade pasta for linguine and clams. It […]
