An Old Friend Makes Local Shop Hop News! from Podunk Pretties

Coffee Cup Quilting was once a beloved local quilt shop here in Central Indiana, well known for offering the best fabric prices in the area.

While Claranna didn't stock all the latest fabric lines, she consistently offered quilt shop quality fabrics at remarkably affordable prices. As for how she managed it, I’m afraid her methods remain a trade secret. ... even if I am privy to them!

Sadly, Claranna had to pack up and move across the country to Las Vegas a year or two before the 2020 nonsense. Ultimately the nonsense forced her business to close. However, she ...

Stars, Stripes, and Stitches from Dueling Threads

Semiquincentennial. Say that that 6 times fast. By about the 5th iteration, you might sound like you have created your own language.

While I was busy beeing I also started to work on some patriotic goodies. Lots of folks travel during the summer holidays. When my kids were littles, one of the things I liked to do in the evening “down time” was hidden picture games. See if you can spot all of these items in the feature image.

In the Sewing Room and the Garden from From My Carolina Home

I had all good intentions of getting some sewing done this past weekend, but you know what happens sometimes to best laid plans. Friday was spent entirely on Shop Hop, visiting four stores over 90 miles apart, plus lunch with a group from our guild. The promised rainy day on Saturday canceled a car club drive, and I thought maybe I’d be able to spend some time on a new project. But as that day progressed, I got busy cleaning the house, and it just got away from me. I did a deeper clean than my usual, and it ...

SELF CONTAINMENT SALE from Sew Fresh Quilts

The whole world seems to be going into self containment.

What can we do? Pray. And help our vulnerable family and neighbours.

I am fortunate to have my family at home with me. My childrens' university and college classes are cancelled - for now. And our province is under a declared statement of emergency.

What does that mean?

I am staying home and sewing, which is my goal on any regular day.

And I am visiting my mom more regularly. We spend most of our time working on jigsaw puzzles. And chatting. I have encouraged her to stay at home. She ...

Most of the snow has melted away from our neighbourhood.

But the view out my sewing room window was FROSTY!!!

When I shared the news of my recent finish and upcoming quilt along SHOP HOP, I had a lot of people asking me about the backing fabric that I used. It was a black and white print remnant I picked up from Ye Olde ...

Family Sewing Retreat and Shoofly Pie Recipe from Georgia Girl Quilter

Our family sewing retreat was the first week in September and I was the lucky host this year. This was our 7th year and everyone had an awesome time sewing, visiting, advising, shopping and completing projects. There are 5 of us....4 sisters and our mother and we live in different states...Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma...and rotate homes each year.

We have our retreat banner and everyone contributes to the yearly goodie bags. Cooking responsibilities are rotated daily and we watch quilting tutorials during our lunch time breaks. Each year we learn what works best, making our retreat ...

ON A ROLL from The Proficient Needle

I think I've finally found my groove again, just in time to pack up my sewing stuff for our annual move south for the winter!

Several years ago, I attended a shop hop and collected all the block kits from each shop (there were only 7 shops). They had selected a theme, and colour scheme for the blocks, but one didn't follow the rules. The 7 blocks sat on my design wall for many years, and this year I decided that I had to move them along.......

I had used the oddball block in another project, so I ...
