What Was I Thinking?
Well, this is a UFO in all sense of the word. I discovered this little project box in my sewing room closet and just stared at it open-mouthed. What had I been planning? There were the makings for flying geese units, some strips in various sizes, a whole lot of black and orange fabrics. No…

This is Really My Last Project for 2019
I managed to squeeze in one last project for 2019. I don't have a lot to show for my year in quilting this year, but I am going out strong. With luck, this will be how I will continue in 2020. This little quilt is not perfect by any means, and I am going to…

Holiday Gatherings
Hope you all had a great weekend! I got a little sewing done, and finished my piece for the snowman applique. The snowman and his broom will go on the right in the empty space. It will be just the right amount of wool applique to get me started. Of course I don't have any…

Scrappy Churn Dash Mini Quilt
I know. Can you believe it? I actually finished something! This little mini quilt is about 22 inches square, with little churn dash blocks that finish at 3".

Table Runners Off and Running
I got upstairs yesterday before it got hot and finished up the borders on my little gold half square triangle table runner. Now I am all set to mail this trio of toppers off to my quilter. I am really looking forward to getting these into my late summer/early fall decorating rotation. Decorating with small…

Corn and Beans
This little table topper featuring the Corn and Beans block turned out pretty cute. It is small, about 18", but perfect for the end of my island where I like to have a vase of flowers and a candle. It will be wonderful in August with some sunflowers. I actually sewed for a couple of…

Another New Table Runner
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. It was also Sara's birthday, so we had a double celebration. She and Eva came over for brunch and we sat outside and opened presents and had mimosas and a nice breakfast. I managed to catch the miserable cold my husband had while we…

Red Runner and Robbery Storytime
Ah. I am home from my trips, my laundry is done, the Easter decor has been put away, and my husband has gone back to work. That man has been sick for ten days with a horrible cough, fever and an ear ache. He lost his hearing in the affected ear and every time I…

May Flowers
I've decided to call this little quilt May Flowers. My quilter took a photo of the quilting she had just finished on it, and I could not be more pleased. One thing she does with my mini quilts is that she reduces the scale of the quilting design to fit the smaller size of the…
