Gypsy Girl
Just got the binding on this little quilt for Eva's room last week. I've had some requests to show more of it, so here you go. I made the quilt back in 2009–here is a link to my post on making it with all the pattern information. I absolutely loved making this quilt.…

Happy New Year
This has been the best holiday season ever. It was so wonderful to have the family together under one roof, and we had many many lovely moments that I will treasure throughout the upcoming year and beyond. My son left to return to Ireland on New Year's Eve day. Wonder how the folks on board…

Shopping, Check. Decorating, Check.
I spent the entire day yesterday decorating the house. I tell you, that is a job and a half. I am very happy with the way things turned out though. My new discovery this year are micro mini lights that have a battery pack. I love these little lights and have them in a half…

Up To Pretty Much Nothin’
I have made a few more Flowering Snowball blocks for the quilt I am making for Eva's Big Girl Bed. Aren't those blocks cool? I love the effect those wild Kaffe Fassett fabrics make. The blocks take very little time to make, maybe 15 minutes or so for each one. I sat down for an…

Pot Roast and Cherry Pie
Pot Roast and Cherry Pie We had one of those lazy Sundays that hardly ever seem to roll around. Usually I am either packing up the car for a two and half hour drive to see my father, or scheduled to work all day at the shop. This weekend we were all still recovering from…

Handwork
No quilt sewing going on, and that is likely to be the case for awhile, so my posting schedule may be affected accordingly. I have been trying to get caught up on some hand sewing, namely bindings. So happy to get the two little Halloween table toppers out at the eleventh hour! I have also…
