…my sewing project cup runneth over. Puppy Dog Tails is pinned and ready to go. Just have to decide on the quilting design. I’m thinking this or this. If you have room in your home I highly recommend this. Hubby borrowed/bought me 2 six-foot outdoor tables for pinning my quilts. I had been doing this [...]

…that’s what little boys and this quilt are made of. Here’s my latest creation. When I first bought this charm pack, Lil’ Rascals from the Fat Quarter Shop, I wasn’t sure about it. The big prints were super cute but the others seemed dull and almost boring. I put it away for a little while [...]

It’s a strange rule, I know, but before I start another project I really wanted to get some UFO off the list. Here’s one… I started this so long ago (June to be exact) then it sat and sat but it’s done now and I’m moving onto the next. When Kira first saw it she called [...]

Learning…

A few months back I posted a Process Pledge button on this blog but haven’t shown much process in a while… Ready for some? Here’s my first real attempt at stippling a quilt. While it ain’t bad it aint’ great either. Curves are not that smooth, looks a bit jerky, this stitch length is irregular [...]

Look what finally arrived. I totally forgot to post this. I’ve had it back for a few weeks now. Excited doesn’t even cover how I felt when I opened the box. All it needs is squaring up and the binding. My friend Teri suggested bias binding. I just have to make the time for this [...]

Another Welcome…

Look what I just brought home…the birthday present from my hubby. My local fabric store was selling their class room models to make room for the 500 Series. Lucky me. I was more nervous about bringing it home than I was bringing Kira home from the hospital. I’ve also never been more grateful to my [...]
