One of the stacks included this downloaded pattern for Kaffe fabrics. They are expecting you to buy the fat quarter pack and label the fabrics in the order they are when you receive it. I would be cutting from stash so mine might look a little different, especially if I used scraps as well as yardage. This is a free pattern download and they also show it in cool colors. I ...

And there is always the chaos factor.
Case in point: a few weekends ago I went to Marshall Dry Goods with one of the besties. I purchased flannel to make two receiving blankets for our great-grandson that's due to arrive in April. I was thinking I had plenty of time to make them. But two weeks ago, darling granddaughter landed in the ER, was admitted to the hospital due to complications, was told she would stay two weeks to allow little man to grow a bit more, then told it would be three weeks, and he was born a ...

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping in! Well, I broke one of my main blogging rules: I always save my posts on a backup post just in case. Guess what happened? Yup. I didn't, and it's gone! Well, the second time around might be better!
Life continues to be active with grandkids, swimming, learning to shop for the Mediterranean Diet, and a bit of time with friends. We made happy memories and tried new foods at our potluck.
You'll find the second part of last week's devotional on Psalm 23:4, I achieved most of my ...

Hello There,
Thank you all for visiting! Back in January I mentioned about some issues with photos in Blogger. I found an easier, new-to-me method to insert them from my phone.
I simply open the draft of my blog post on my phone and, following the normal procedure, insert the edited picture in the section I want. To find the photo tool on my phone, I have to swipe left. I am careful to ensure the blog post I'm working on is closed on my computer. Likewise when I'm working on m computer: I make sure the post ... read moreIn a heartfelt journey of transformation, we embraced change, moving closer to our grandchildren, and creating a new dream studio. Through meticulous design and cherished memories, I built a space brimming with intention, comfort, and inspiration. Blessed with love, light, and creativity, it reflects a life dedicated to passion and purpose. Continue reading

My post today will be in reverse order to explain how I get ideas.
This is sewing from 2 nights, 82 blocks. (total number from several days = 269). As I was sewing them, I was considering an all triangle square center of a baby quilt. I was trying to decide if all of the ones with the same 2 fabrics would be grouped together or if I would spread them out in a random grouping. Then I started thinking about how else I could use them: a small center with a border around it and then another round of triangle ...

I recently decided (while spending several weekends cutting projects) that I needed to raise my cutting table. I use a wood gate-leg style table and I leave it set up all the time. This particular model is (9.5″W folded); 65.5″Wx36″Dx30.5″H. I think that it came from Crate and Barrel.
It allows me to use the Martelli X-Large 30 x 60 cutting mat, but since it is a standard dining table height, always felt too low when cutting for longer periods of time. I struggled to figure out a good way to raise it ...
