DIY Fabric Boxes
I can't tell you what my inspiration was for these little fabric boxes, but I got a notion that I wanted to make some storage boxes out of fabric, and started playing around on Pinterest. Hours later, I had a list of tutorials and was totally jazzed to get started making something. The first one…

Hit and Miss
It was one of those days. I would think I was doing great, and then….Ooops. My seam ripper and I were very close on Thursday. I fixed it, but it kind set the tone for the morning. The 2017 Triangle Gatherings block actually gave me no trouble, unless one of you sees a unit turned…

Buzz Saw Finished
I was able to finish this pretty quilt early this week. I have been calling it Buzz Saw, because I think that is one name for this classic quilt block. The pattern is called Summer Wind (a dumb name if I ever heard one), which I cannot wrap my head around. The fabric line by…

Just a Little Sewing
I have not been spending a ton of time in my sewing room, but have gotten a couple of things done. The block above is Block #2 from the Moda Block Head Sew Along. This one was designed by Betsy Chutchian, whose fabric lines I have enjoyed. This Sew Along will provide free patterns for…

Pizza of the Week
Sara and I have been having one night of home made pizza each week when we are on our own. I thought you might get a kick out of seeing some of the creations we have come up with. The most recent one from last week is in the photo above. I used a Pillsbury-in-a-tube…

A Little of This and a Little of That

New Cookware. Again.
You know how we all have our little eccentricities? And sometimes the people we love are a little bit nuts in some areas, but we turn a blind eye? Well, let me tell you about my husband. He is super generous, and has many many wonderful qualities. But he is a little bit crazy…

Buzz Saw
I've got all my Buzz Saw blocks finished and ready to sew together. The light blue color palette is so soothing. I know I will end up passing this quilt on to Sara, probably for her birthday. The colors seem to suit her better than they do me, and I know that she likes the…

Joy Luck
I got so much done this weekend, which is surprising, since the weather was so lovely, it was a shame not to be outside. I got the Joy Luck Schnibbles pieced together, and think it turned out very pretty. I used an older line of Kate Spain's called Paradiso. Those pink, coral, navy and aqua…

Another New Project?
It was a beautiful warm early Spring day today, just perfect for starching a fat quarter bundle prior to beginning a new project! I am so happy that the weather is warming up and becoming a bit more sunny. So tired of all the rain we have been getting (I know we need it, blah…
