read moreI won't bore you - or me - with a count of every single block set I have going on in my sewing room. Some are for current Sew-Alongs, some are for Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and some have been put in Time Out for now. But I was able to take stock of some of my block sets - while prepping binding for another small finish.
Current Block of the Month/Week projects:
** Saturday Sampler (BOM)
** Blockheads 7 (Block of Week)
** Marigold (BOM)
** Garden of Stars (BOM)
Oh wow -- Barbie clothes from stretch fabric! That's a cool idea, and I have a whole bunch of leftovers from making T-shirts. Brand new, it would be an excellent way to get rid of that basket of scraps! Love the idea.
So I didn't quite finish what I planned yesterday, but I did sit down and PLAN the two samples I need to make, and the fabric is ready, so all I have to do today is stitch them out. It should NOT take long. OK -- you can stop laughing now.
I have two classes this weekend; one ...

read moreAnother quilt from far away. Almost 750 km from us. This quilt has a sad story. The maker died before finishing it, and a friend inherited it and finished it. Then it went to my client, who forwarded it to me.
I am not sure who will receive the quilt, but at least the maker's original work didn't go to waste.
This morning, I wanted to up early enough to go down and get a few things done before everyone arrived. They didn't come till a little after 10 am but we did have 5 of us today.
We were able to get 9 pillowcases done. Three of them go to the kits that where done. Colleen took 2 quilt tops home to quilt. She's doing 2 quilts for Saturday as well. We all had fun. It was 2 on the cutting and ironing, with 3 of us sewing. I was sewing on my new machine. At first, I ...

I tend to add books to my to-be-read pile and then pick them up to read without rereading the description and that's how I started this book without realizing that the same author also wrote White Line Fever and Black Tide (both great books). That might've been the best way to go into it, without preconceived ideas of what kind of book it was going to be -- because it kind of felt like it might be a romance and it kind of felt like it was a horror novel and it landed in ...
read moreI got a fun email from Jeannine. She made one of our quilts, Jimmy John. Jeannine writes: Sending you a picture of my upsized Jimmy John quilt. I added one more width of the solid and striped pieces. I was making a blue quilt for a monochromatic guild challenge, and instead of cutting 96 strips …

read moreGood morning, my friends. Well, I skipped a day of blogging, and so I have a lot to show you. Happily, my dental appointment is behind me, and I'm good for another year. And, look ma! No cavities. Always a good outcome.
Backing up to Monday morning, I cut back the peonies to the ground. We'll look for them next spring. For now, I'm enjoying the last gasp of the flowers. This first one is the Firefighter dahlia. When we left on our trip mid-September, it had not a single bud on it. I was threatening to ...

I now have all of my Stash Bee blocks and have made them into one ladder quilt and one quilt for Care leavers. I can donate the Q4CL at the retreat in two weeks' time. I used a digital pantograph called Malachite which is quick as there's no overstitching and I used Superior Threads in White Linen.
Net on machine will be some Christmas projects. I have started quilting the table runner and placemats for Lizzie and I will use the same backing to complete a Kimberbell project. First of all, I need to add borders to that quilt.

I am still trying to clean out some older photos from my phone.
I don't think I am ever going to catch up!


Some of the best gifts for holiday hostesses are those for the kitchen. I am constantly needing new kitchen towels, not only to use, but also just for seasonal decoration. For today’s projects, we’ll do some embroidery for special and unique gifts for ourselves and friends. It is easy to do some fun kitchen towels using towel blanks. These are a woven cotton fabric with burgundy stripes. Before I embroider on towel blanks, I wash them in hot water and then dry in the drier to pre-shrink them. When they are prepared, I hoop two layers of water ...

read moreYesterday I was up early, and sometimes that is a dangerous thing because I do a lot of planning (scheming and generating of ideas) over coffee while the house is quiet and it's still dark outside. I've been thinking ahead to goals for 2027. Yikes!!!
Well, it's kind of organized but also out of control - because of sheer numbers. Including a couple more on the far right side ...
