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 […]

Isn’t it lovely when you get things accomplished that have been on your too do list for far too long? That’s what I was able to do this weekend. They are little things, but I actually had a bit of a life this weekend and went to a lovely dinner, dance fundraiser. We got all

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

I took advantage of the fact that I had to clean up the guest room for our recent guests to photograph the room that I also use as my sewing room. I always find it interesting to see what kinds of spaces people use to create in. It’s still a room that I’m getting used
I was able to squeeze in some time on the 4th to do a little sewing. And when I say little, I mean size, not time! I paper pieced a spooky house for my doll quilt that measures less than 6″ tall…probably 5″ come to think of it. It was tedious, but rewarding as I

Another brother was a little behind on ordering my gift, but it got taken care of today. And I’m so excited that I have to show a picture of it before I get it. I’m going to get a whole stack of the most beautiful shades of blue green kona solid fat quarters. The set

Well, really my first two birthday gifts. But one of them I already told you about. My husband bought me the newest version of electric quilt early because we pre-ordered it to get a good discount. I’m really enjoying learning the program and I know that once I really get going with it, I will

I have no idea if these are recently out or if I’ve just been living under a rock, but I’ve found the CUTEST pincushion patterns by Heather Bailey. I am of course familiar with her pear one (so cute!) But it never struck me as the greatest shape for a pin cushion…although I bet it
Oh delightful pincushions! Read More »
