Yea today was one of those days, I didn't do squat! Don't I know it! I have a ton of stuff I could have done but didn't.
I did go and pick up my embroidery that was framed! I love it. But if I post it, it will be a gift that was "let out of the bag." So, I will post it later, after it's given away. I did do laundry - oh wow! As if I don't do that every day!
I know! I have so much that needs to be done, and what ...
read moreQuilted this one snowy day recently. I think I finished the top about a year ago. A ruler kept the lines mostly straight. I like it so may bind it and keep it around a while.
I like simple basic quilting and straight lines on quilts with Civil War fabrics. Adds to the authentic look. Though it should have more quilting for that.
I finished the 8 stars and made 4 more. I think I'll pass these on to the ladies in the church group to finish up the top. They can surprise me with what setting and border ...
read moreIn looking over the magnificent mystery at Meadow Mist Designs, I just realized I’ve used the wrong colors. Good grief how can I be so stupid. Here is what the pattern required and I’m using the bottom row, with the black background. I’ve made A as my background with of course not enough fabric and way too much black.. I don’t know what to do I could just keep going and I have some other cream fabric I could use. I guess the other colors would play together but I really wanted a black background!! And ...

Here are the rest
Happy Friday, quilters! This week's quilts all came in finished from Beth H. Thanks so much to her for the generous support!
I loved the quilting on this first quilt, but my favorite in the set is this brown and blue one, below.
It does funny things to your eyes. Beth says it was a mystery quilt. I think the curved quilting panto really adds to all the very straight pricing.
And lastly, a beautiful, vibrant, harvest quilt made of sampler blocks. With a corresponding leafy quilting panto.
Thank you to Beth and everyone who continues to support Covered ...
read moreI am human…I admit it. So…around my birthday, I often buy myself a couple of things. It might be a cross stitch chart…I might go out to eat an extra time. This year I bought two new kitchen gadgets, and I love them both. I thought I would tell you about them as they are …

In today’s tutorial we are breaking down the easiest and fastest way to make a fleece hat with a fringe pom pom on top. This is a go-to project for when I’m teaching kids to sew because it’s so fast and easy to make that the kids LOVE walking out of class with a finished project. It holds their attention just long enough to do the few steps and complete it!
Yes, the way that I teach it results in have an exposed raw seam at the back but a more experience sewist can easily adapt the ...
read moreI stitched these a couple weeks ago. I found the little cross stitch pieces in with my mom's sewing stuff. The odd thing is, I think I stitched them. Not sure why there were with mom's things but I worked them into these blocks.
I have 2 more blocks sewn up and ready to stitch on. I also want ...

I'm a sucker for haunted house books. It turns out that this one is more cosmic horror, but I didn't mind that at all. The abandoned house on Jessie Campanelli's street eats people. It takes bites out of them and sometimes spits them out. Her little brother's friend, Paul, lost an arm in there. Her brother, who she'd dared to go inside, never came out. Years pass and the neighborhood changes. Fewer people know about the family that died in the house in the 1970s ...
read moreOh my— I read the comments every day, though I'm terrible at responding directly. In addition to your comments, I also get spam comments, which I delete when I see them.
Can you believe this one? It was NOT a general comment, as most spam is -- it picked up on things I said and replied to them as if it were a real person. That's pretty freaky!
I am thrilled to report that I accomplished a lot yesterday. I have almost completed everything for one class. It was a long day, but I needed to get this done ...
