Flimsy Purge: Spools
I wanted to share this little quilt with you. I had made it during a Spools sew along a few years ago, and never got the borders on it. I made all my spools with strips of different fabrics in the same color way. In other words, the green spool is made up of…

More Quilts Out For Quilting
Sara is doing a happy dance, now that I have the borders on her Log Cabin quilt. This quilt is going out for quilting this week, and will be a nice addition to her bedroom decor in her new house. Gosh, I had so much fun with all of you, voting on which log cabin…

Out The Door
I am feeling so good about donating some of my unquilted tops to various charitable organizations! Here is one I called "Inner Cowgirl" that I sent off last week. I still think it is kind of cute, just not for me. Here is another cheery one that hopefully, someone will like. I believe this was…

Shocking Revelation
My fun little exercise of going back four years on my blog to see what I was working on then, and where it is now provided a huge eyeopening shock to me. In the photo above, you see hanging various unquilted tops (called flimsies by some). These hanging tops were mostly made in 2015 and…

Where Are They Now?
I thought it would be fun to go back four years and see what I was working on and share it with you. Since my sewing progress has been pretty much nil lately, this will be a way to at least share some content with you. Let's check out what I was working on then…

Paganini Christmas Table Topper
Well, it didn't get done by Christmas 2015, but I can tell you it will be on my table during the holidays in 2016! This is Paganini, a Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern that has a number of variations in how to construct the block. This little pattern is worth the price, that is for sure.…

2015, Mini Quilts
2015 was the Year of the Mini Quilt for me. I found making these smaller quilts lots of fun. Using them as little table toppers throughout the house made me happy. Mini quilts use little fabric, and are ideal for charm squares, layer cakes or scraps. Anytime you love a fabric collection, but don't really…

2015, A Retrospective, Part One
2015 was a year I hope never to see the likes of again. I lost my youngest sister to cancer, our area had a devastating fire, my father suffered an injury, my daughter rolled her car over….Seriously, not a great year. 2016 brings a fresh start, and with any luck at all, better times. I…

Civil War Stars
What a happy finish for me. I started this as a scrap buster project and tried to follow along with Barbara Brackman's Civil War Stars in a Time Warp sew along. Barbara has had frequent blog posts on different types of fabrics that were prevalent in the 1800s, and had lots of examples of current…

Simple Granny, All But Borders
Simple Granny is a finish! ABD (all but borders). I love the pure saturated colors of the fabric collection I used–Fancy by Lily Ashbury. I want to use one of the larger prints in the line for the outer border, but am undecided as to which color to go with. Help me out–The large…
