Since I got home from work yesterday, all I have wanted to do is dig into the Kristyne Czepuryk Blogger’s Choice bundle that showed up in the mail yesterday. I drifted off dreaming of those dreamy fabrics. But I made a committment to myself to clean my closet today. And I did. But after thatContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Framed Windmill”

Fabric Fancy: Glasses
Today’s fabric fancy all started with this post on Red Pepper Quilts. I love love love her quilts, and I can guarantee that whatever fabric she backs her quilts in, I will want a million yards of it. I usually am able to resist, but I absolutely couldn’t with that Julia Rothman typewriter print. WhichContinue reading “Fabric Fancy: Glasses”
#feathersqal #kindness
A mixture of weather (good) and gastrointestinal distress (bad) meant less than the normal amount of sewing. Still a lot, but not a, let’s say, “crazy” amount. I did find time Saturday to work on my feathers blocks for the Feathers QAL – I still am a week behind. I am not fast at these,Continue reading “#feathersqal #kindness”
The State of Things
A roundup of what I am working on… Just for fun… Favorite Things + Raccoons Quilt for my 40th – including some selfish stitching and some awesome iron-ons. Hoping this one can use up a lot of my left over charm squares. For somebody else… The Arghhh! Baby Pirate Quilt for my cousin’s baby. SoContinue reading “The State of Things”
Selfish Stitching
My husband and I have been watching a lot of QI on Youtubes on our TV lately. And I just can’t sit and watch television, I have to do something else – so when I am not binding a quilt, I have started to work on these dordables embroidery projects from patterns from Sublime Stitching.Continue reading “Selfish Stitching”
Project Linus #6: Dots and Squares Baby Blanket
I love this quilt. Love the colors. Love the polka dots. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Oh, Deer! (Momo for Moda) fabric on the back… the little deers and squirrels… the soaring birds… Here is the front – the only thing I would do differently is to make all the centers of the squares white –Continue reading “Project Linus #6: Dots and Squares Baby Blanket”
Thursday Therapy: Who Wore It Better?
I have been recreating some of the blocks I have created for Thursday Therapy in my color crush colors – and I think I am going to abandon the old color palette for this new color palette for my weekly blocks… what do you think – who wore it better – scrappy brights or grown-upContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Who Wore It Better?”
Sunday
Sunday, around 8… the ritual of putting everything away, saying goodbye to lots of long hours of sewing until next weekend. My little atelier makes me very happy. So would a month of Sundays.
Fancy Flowers Baby Quilt
I finished a quilt – binding and everything!!! This one started by pictures of pillows on pinterest, like this one: I love the little squares of bit patterns. The little snippets of leaves and petals totally enchanted me. So using a charm pack (or two, or three) of Joel Dewberry’s Bungalow, I made a gridContinue reading “Fancy Flowers Baby Quilt”
Thursday Therapy: Three in the Breeze
I really needed some therapy tonight. I got really bad news at work today. I am frazzled and sad. But I didn’t realize how much until I was about 1/2 way through this block and I started crying. Messy, heavy gasp crying. You know, the good stuff? I had kept it together all day. AndContinue reading “Thursday Therapy: Three in the Breeze”
