I’ve continued to work on my Pfeffernuse quilt. Life is still crazy busy with little sewing time. I did really well and continued on with my little bursts of sewing. All of that has added up to some noticeable progress that I am very happy with. Any time I am working on a string quilt, …

read moreMy busy life is keeping me away from the needle. It’s all okay. Life is fun now, even if I’m not stitching much. For me crafting is more of a winter thing when the family isn’t so busy and there isn’t outdoor work to do. Yes, I still stitch in the summer, but never as …

read moreRemember how I planned to keep the quilt with the feathers in the heart blocks?
Well, I found out that a friend will be having a procedure this week. She’s been a good friend to me and my little dog, Bo. When I had surgery a while back, she was a regular in Bo’s life, walking him when I couldn’t.
She needs a quilt. The heart quilt that I started to practice my feathers on was the closest to being a finish, so I got it done this afternoon.
Like I ...

I found myself still in the funk that’s been my problem lately, so while looking at little videos I noticed some jelly roll rugs. It didn’t look as hard as I remember. I knew I had some rolls of precut batting, stored away in my grandma’s old hat box, so I searched around for a jelly roll.
