It’s Friday Yall!!!  This is going to be a good one so grab a cup of tea and get to reading…

BLOG:

I found this one on Pinterest.  I should stop saying that and just write a disclaimer that all or most BLT info comes from there, it will say us all precious reading time.  That said, here it is.

Charming is the first word that came to my mind when I started reading.   I’ve wished I had the time to create such lovely things with all those sweet little details.  And now that my girl is in school I just may be able to find some.  My problem is not getting caught up in the reading but actually doing.  Honestly this blog will more than inspire and getting you snuggled up with your sewing machine.

LOVE IT:

TUTORIAL:

I’ve got a great one for you this week.  So in my daily life I tried very hard to live by the motto “Do one thing a day that scares you.”  Now this isn’t scary but to a perfectionist like me it’s a big challenge with just a hint of fear.  A challenge with the potential to push we over the edge.  I like to get things right the first time I try them.  Yes, that’s incredibly unrealistic but it’s pushes me.  This one is really going to push me.  Triangles!! Until now I’ve only worked with squares and easy quilt piecing but take a look at this.

Look at all those triangles.  I feel a bit faint!  But I’m going to give it a go…

Goal for the weekend…To complete a paper pieced or card trick quilt block.  Wish me luck!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

And I promise to have a little sewing project up in my next post.
