My Latest Distraction
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic…

Corn and Beans
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened. How cute is that little Corn and Beans kit? It measures 17" square when finished and would make the summeriest…

A Breath of Spring
I just can't seem to get enough of cheery spring like fabrics lately. My desire for the rain to stop and the sun to come out is taking over my life. I am also stuck waiting for my fabric for the Sweet Escape Sew Along to arrive. I ordered my background (Moda Bella Porcelain} on…

Shop at Home
Since I am desperate for a touch of Spring, I've been in a mood to make some small quilts in a lighter color palette. My favorite dark reds, golds and browns seem so heavy right now when my soul is craving lighter more delicate tones. Pale green in particular. I recently rediscovered a tub of…

Something Blue
After all that red and green during the holidays, when January comes around I am definitely in the mood for a more mellow color palette. Blue seems perfect for the chilly winter days we are having, so I made myself a new table topper. I have a ton of various Primitive Gatherings "Snowman Gatherings" fabric…

And So It Begins…
Well, this is a first. We have our Christmas tree up and it isn't even Thanksgiving. My husband bought a new faux tree this year, and since the boxes were sitting right in front of our front door where the UPS man left them, my husband decided to go ahead and set it up. And…

A Small Fall Project
Last week I had the urge to start up a seasonal project, and began a search through my stash for some fall hued fabrics. Since Fall is my favorite time to decorate, I found many pieces that were perfect for what I had in mind. Clearly, I have a habit of buying fall colored fabric!…

Liberty Road
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very…

Endearments
I can't tell you how much I love this little quilt!! It is "Endearments" by Betsy Chutchian, made with her fabric collection Rachel Remembered. The finished quilt measures 29 3/8" square, and has a Memorial Day/Fourth of July vibe to it. I can see keeping this out on my dining table from May through September.…

State Fair
I've been working on a couple of springy table runners this past week. I shared Tootsie Pops with you, which is super cute, but I wanted another runner that showed off more of that beautiful Lilac Hill fabric I had been hoarding. An old Schnibbles pattern called State Fair came to mind, and I decided…
