This week has been a little crazy. Not bad. Just not as productive as I wanted it to be.
Brrr and Good Morning from chilly North Carolina! The poor sea of daffodils are all weeping from this cold! Of course, for me, this means a day of sewing!
Two years ago I cam across a Twelve Days of Christmas ornament series made from felt. It was love at first site! Uncharacteristically, I ordered the full set of patterns (from Larissa Holland, mmmCrafts). At first the pattern set seemed pricey, but oh the detail, exquisite design and excellent instructions made it so worth it. I even ordered the set of felt to make them with.

read moreI posted this pattern several years ago. It’s time to bring it back to the forefront. Below you will see my original text saying “You Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till It’s Gone.” Now it is so true in our current worldview.

read moreHi there and thanks for joining us today. I would like to present the newest figure in the Generations Paper Dolls series featuring 6" x 12" historical foundation paper pieced figures spanning centuries of inspirational female heritage.
Clara is the newest figure in our series. She is one of my favorite figures with her wrapped and belted shawl. Her delicate hands are folded in front waiting as if she is reflecting on life and its tiny little challenges. She wears a full sized bonnet. This figure resemebles a 18th century figure, don't you agree?
Yay, it is finally time to RELEASE the Spool Star quilt pattern!
Have you already been gathering your favorite scraps?
Yesterday I showed you the dark SNOW version of this wall hanging pattern.
But other layouts are also possible with this little block that has found its way into my heart. read more
