Frida dress from Just Sew Sue

Do you end up with lots of off cuts of dressmaking fabrics? I made the Aspen dress in a seersucker from Fabric Godmother in March 20205. I parceled the leftover fabric neatly in an Ikea Ziploc bag and it has lurked with many other off cuts.

Last week I used the Frida dress pattern from two stitches to make this pretty dress in size T2 as a gift for a friend whose daughter is having a second baby this summer. I am surprised how much fabric that I have left and can probably make at least one, if not two ...

First is Last from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We had four stops to make yesterday, but we were still home before lunch time. It left plenty of time in the day to finish off the other things I was hoping to do. Of course, I had to do my slow-stitching before anything else could happen. I’m working on the 2nd Santa now. I stitched his boots first, and now I’ve moved my hoop to encompass the rest of him.

Our first stop was to pick up some medicine at the pharmacy. After that, we went to the feed store to get more ...

Crunch Days! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

I'm in the crunch! But getting there -

One thing I try to do consistently is photograph each part of any quilt unit while in the process of making them - not saving that step for later. It helps me remember just what I did, how I did it and in my mind I'm going through how I'm going to word things so that even the beginnerest-of-beginners (Yes, that's a word, or should be!) will understand and be able to do each step along the way.

I've heard a lot about poorly written directions, and I'd ...

More white on stitched paper. from contemporary embroidery

More has been added to the pieces you saw in my last post.

What I love most about these pieces is the irregular edges which come from tearing papers, overlaying papers.

Curved lines of buttonhole stitch, bullion knots and French knots emphasize those irregualr edges.

It's then really exciting to find snippets of white to add to that surface and continue embellishing.

Today I realised I need to stitch more papers in order to finish this piece.

Another process for these compositions which I love.

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I decided to try doing stranded work on the LK150. I had somewhat mixed results. The first swatch showed me I'm still learning the technique. The tricky bit of trial and error is the keeping the trial going with all of the errors.

I was pretty sure the tension was too tight so I changed that to prevent the dropped stitches. It got better but it still dropped some stitches. This try was much better. I'll have to keep working at it but I think this might not be the best yarn for this project. It is still ...

Lady #2 and more from My Sewing Room

The second lady on the beach is coming together. I haven't figured out yet what color her beach towel and bag will be. I've decided to work on the lady and swim suit for each first, and then I'll go back and choose some of the other colors. Her hat and the trim on her swimsuit isn't a batik, but it works.

I shouldn't admit this, but I've been testing some blocks as Leaders/Enders lately - new to me patterns. Some have been possibilities for Quilts of Valor, and others have been for Rainbow ...

And then this happened.................. from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH -- there were a few comments about husbands cooking -- to be clear, mine took over cooking before the pandemic, and like Tammy's, he is constantly saying, "Oh, this is very good." While not implying that his cooking is better than mine, there are just subtle comments. Or, maybe I'm reading too much into the comment. However, he has recently gotten a more demanding job, and while he still works from home, he often doesn't have time to cook, or he finishes work at 8 PM and then decides to cook -- I'm on my way to bed ...

Lots going on................ from Exuberant Color

I started the day by calling the plumber for 2 problems, then went grocery shopping. When I got home they called and said the plumber would be here in a half hour. That's amazing...so soon! He was done in an hour and a half and I have no more leaks.

When I went out to close the garage door, I had to take a photo of the Columbine in the corner of the sidewalk and driveway.

I spent part of the afternoon sewing the long seam in two backings and cutting batting. The first one is this quilt ...

I can still make quilt tops! from Plum Quilts

An antidote to the small projects I've been making recently! This uses large pieces and finishes at 65" square - a fun way of using some of the fabrics that I don't have loads of, but were too big for adding to my scrap drawers.

Of course, I haven't yet got around to completing it - something that will happen in a different week - but at least it's on it's way!

Weekend Wonderfulness from Jo's Country Junction

Friday afternoon I spent some time in the kitchen. I made some of the kids’ favorites, Ritz cracker cookies, and S’mores bars. Rick came over and prepped a big brisket for the smoker. The smoker ran overnight, and we could all smell the brisket as the kids started trickling in for our day together. Of …

Getting Quilts Ready For Thursday from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was busy. I worked on the laundry and vacuumed the house. I was working on picking stuff up. I really need to do that downstairs because I haven't touched it since they came for sew days.

Then I went for my walk. It was hot out, so I only made it around the block 6 times. I really wanted to do 7 rounds, but when it gets that hot, I want to hide.

I played for a bit, then I pulled the quilts out of the back room to label them and have them ready for ...

My Second Cross Stitch Kitty Pillow from Knitting Quilter

This is the second cross stitch kitty pillow I made. The first one I made for a gift. I really loved it and just had to make one for me! However, there are quite a few steps before you get this cute pillow.

After cross stitching the cat, I had to iron on a lightweight interfacing. After the interfacing was done, I had to make dots 1/2" around the cat as well as a parallel 1" around the cat. The outer line was the cutting line and the inner line was the sewing line. Makes sense!

At this point ...
