Psalm 9, Part 2, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



Hello There,
Thank you so much for stopping in!  I sure hope you all are doing better than I am.  It's my birthday weekend and strep throat decided to crash the party.  I've been miserable, but am hopeful the coming week will be better.  My husband, who is an amazing cook, made me a big pot of delicious chicken/vegetable soup!  It's so soothing to my throat.  Thank You, God for antibiotics, my wonderful husband and chicken soup!   
Before I got sick, my husband was also in to mood to paint my sewing room.  The walls are ...

Psalm 7, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
Thank you all for you sweet comments on my new header.  I was playing with blogger's layout and decided to go for it!  While we're talking about blogging, thank you all for your patience as I grieve Daddy.  I’m finally starting to comment and respond to your sweet comments again! As spring begins to peek around the corner, my joy is slowly returning. It feels strange, but wonderful to laugh, play with my grandbabies, and rediscover joy in everyday life again. It's fabulous to reconnect with all of you! 

I had such a relaxing ...

Psalm 6, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



Hello There,
Thank you for stopping in! I hope your week was fabulous and that the coming week is even better. I was quite productive this week and even finished two books! It feels like I am finally getting my "land legs" back after my father's passing. Though I’m a bit late, I’m ready to set my goals for the year:
  1. Prioritize a healthier lifestyle with the goal of moving away from at least one medication.
  2. Continue sewing from my stash, only purchasing new fabric when necessary to complete a specific project.
  3. Finish my "Quilt As You ...

Time for a Baby Quilt! from TheEclecticAbuela

 My niece has a new (big!) baby boy, so you know what I did--made a flannel baby quilt!


Baby Quilt--36" x 54"

 

The red flannel is printed with a funny assortment of animals (cows, horses, owls, foxes, giraffes, elephants, and dinosaurs--dinosaurs?!?). I think the fabric designer asked some kids what their favorite animals were, rather than sticking with a theme.

Double Disappearing Nine Patch (D9P) from TheEclecticAbuela

 I love D9Ps, but I hadn't tried doubling the pattern until now!

Double D9P (80" x 80")
 

I had a layer cake of which I wasn't too fond, so I put it to work trying this. A double D9P isn't hard--you just do the cutting and sewing twice. Start with a nine-patch, cut it in quarters, then use those pieces for the corners in a bigger nine-patch, and cut that one in quarters. Arrange in the pattern you prefer. I have some instructions on making a standard D9P HERE.
