Do you have a Book Twin? A Book Twin is someone whose reading taste is remarkably similar to your own. When this person recommends a book, you can be pretty sure you will like it as well. I am still searching for my true Book Twin, but have come pretty close. I enjoy a bookish […]
Have we talked about The Clapper? For the life of me I could not recall if I had mentioned it before, so forgive me if I have. It is such a great tool, it bears talking about again. The device is a wooden block made from hardwood, such as maple. It is technically called a […]
I have made 15 Sewcialites blocks since I switched fabrics/colors a month or two ago. I do like this combination of reds, blacks, and tans. I have to say that I am really enjoying the sew along and also the Friday YouTube videos Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop puts out each week. They are […]
Things have gone a bit topsy turvy on me in the past week. My 95-year-old dad has had a small stroke. It was a scare at first, but he is doing quite well. His symptoms are relatively minor, mainly a weakness in his left arm. He was hospitalized briefly. And this is not a great […]
I was very lucky to be the recipient of a lot of French General fabric at Christmas. My son in Ireland, who completely understands my love of fabric sent me a vast amount of it as a Christmas gift. He purchased it from a shop in England and had it mailed to him in Dublin, […]
I have shared with you before how my husband is an absolute nut about Christmas. He starts buying his gifts way early and always gives the best presents. He is known for his generosity. But what he loves most about the holiday season are his special decorations. Of course, he puts lights up everywhere he […]
I had a lot of leftovers from my recent Red Pineapple finish. Normally, I am not one to fret about using up leftover fabric, but I had an idea for what to do with them. I have had foundation paper piecing on my mind lately and purchased a couple of the 6" Log Cabin paper […]
Isn't this stack of fabrics luscious? It is Apricot and Ash by Corey Yoder, a Moda designer. There is a sew-along coming up called Serendipity that I want to do. Click here for fabric requirements. It is a row quilt, you know, the kind where you make multiples of some blocks and arrange them in […]
My new neck light kind of blends in with my dark sweater, but you can see it I think. I turned it off so you wouldn't be blinded by the brightness. Let me just say I love it. It works so great for reading, particularly when I walk into our library room to read in […]
I enjoy starting out the new year with a blue and white project. Typically they are small table toppers. For some reason, I always associate blue and white with the month of January. This year Moda Fabrics is kicking off the first weekend in the new year with a Log Cabin sew-along. There is a […]
