Somehow I’ve turned into a blog button designer for a couple of my quilting groups. I totally don’t know what I am doing, but it all comes together in the end. And though my groups are all about fabric and quilting, I don’t end up putting that into the button! LOL. I guess I like …

Okay folks…here it is…the last mini quilt I think that I’ll be making for a while. And when I say Mini I mean it! This little quilt is about 13″ tall and 9″ wide. And it’s all based on the children’s book “Harold and the Purple Crayon”. Being a new mom, I’m not super in …
When I signed up for the Mug Rug swap I foolishly thought “oh good, a quick little swap that I can whip out in a couple of hours”. Then I realized that I am who I am and that just isn’t my style. LOL. I rarely whip anything out. It’s been known to happen and …
It already feels like forever ago that I sent off my own doll quilt and I’ve been patiently waiting for mine ever since. Patiently…I promise…really… Well at least I wasn’t obsessing over it. LOL. And then today I got a package that gave me a sneaking suspicion just from the packaging that it was both …
Yesterday I somehow managed to make two different blocks for a couple of my bees, the bee a little bit Japanese and Busy Bees. I’ve had the Japanese fabric from Paula a bit longer, so I wanted to work on that one first. The instructions were to make two blocks that featured wonky houses or …

Well I once again pushed hard to finish another mini quilt (still one more to go!). I have been busily hand appliquéing this little quilt with 42 petals. I’ll admit that all that hand sewing has taken me a little bit longer to do than I expected, but I’m not always the best judge of …

Well I’m happy to say that my blocks for the 3 x 6 bee are complete! They were a bit of work, that’s for sure, but each one has a style all its own due to the color requests from their future owners. You might recall that I found this block in EQ7 and was …
Well if you’ve been reading along with me, you might remember that I have a new bee, the 3 x 6 bee that is currently going on. In this bee, you are in a group with 6 other people and you make each of them the same block pattern but use the colors that they …
Well it’s a thankfully slightly lazy Saturday morning and I’m sitting here watching my incredibly adorable daughter try to get to her laundry that needs to be folded. It’s taunting me over there with my laundry. Oh and wouldn’t you know it…just as I write this, my darling husband picked up my basket to fold …
I finally got to a little sewing. I’ve been so busy with life…agh…that I haven’t been able to sew much yet. But I was able to make one block today. It doesn’t look like too much but it’s always surprising how much time even a simple block like this takes. This block is another house …
