I wanted to put up a quick post for Tuesday before we had to the Bay Area for my husband's MRI. Sara and I have a new podcast/YouTube video up. Our topic for October is "Witchy Reads", where we discuss some cozy and not too scary books featuring witches and women with "unusual abilities". Click…

Fall Decorating and Some Life Changes
Eva and I did get the house decorated for October/Halloween. I do enjoy my fall decorations so much. These crows in particular! These photos were taken rather late on Sunday evening, so the lighting isn't great. Maybe I will try again later this week. We really do have some cute things out. At any rate,…

First Try with Woven Star
I have made my first Woven Star block! I am making the 4-inch size and using a Jolly Bar (5" x 10") of Kitty Christmas fabric by Urban Chiks. I tell you, it took me a minute to understand the directions. However, after watching the Fatquarter Shop YouTube tutorial I pretty much had it down…

A Bit of This and a Bit of That
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can…

Sunflowers
I was busy in the sewing room yesterday and have plenty to share, but decided to just stick to one topic for today and not bombard you all with a half a dozen projects that I have in the works. So, I started a new project. Of course I did. I got up yesterday morning…

Some Sewing, Some Changes
I haven't been completely idle this week. You might not be able to tell, but I did get the top row of my Base Camp table runner sewn together. I plan to wrap this project up today. Love that Timber fabric by Sweetwater. On another topic, do any of you subscribe to the Fat Quarter…

Some Sewing, Very Little Trimming
I spent some time over the weekend trying to find the Olfa Ergonomic Rotary Cutter I bought in 2014, but was completely unable to find it. Where do rotary cutters go to die? At any rate, I had to purchase a new one since my hand is still hurting me. Here is a tip that…
