Uh oh. Here comes Christmas…
I am still savoring Fall. Enjoying the changing colors, the falling leaves, my pretty autumnal decorations. The rest of the family? They want the Christmas tree up, the sooner the better. I am holding out until after Thanksgiving, but I may have to give something up. My daughter wants a tree on the front porch,…

Kate Spain’s All Wrapped Up
Just last week I received my Kate Spain "All Wrapped Up" quilt back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. This is just the cutest quilt, probably ever. This quilt is destined to go on Eva's first Big Girl Bed, slated to be set up this weekend or maybe next. I have the binding…

Antique Stars–Finally
Finished on a Friday, how appropriate! At last, this big quilt is all done. I swear if I didn't get it done this weekend, Tracey would have shown up on my door step saying, "For Heaven's sake Nicole, I'll do it, if you can't manage it after all this time". I sure did drag this…

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…

Halloween Party 2014
My family Halloween party was last weekend, and as usual, there were some pretty great costumes. A Geisha, Medusa, a Flapper, a Professor, a Referee, Ziggy Stardust, an African Potentate, an owl, and entire group who came to the party as The Farmers Wife and the Three Blind Mice. It was fun. My sisters and…

Sew Together Bag
Woo hoo! I made my own little Sew Together Bag! This is just the cutest little thing, and so very useful. I know you all will want to make one too. It isn't a project for beginners, but if you are confident, and follow allong a couple of tutorials, read carefully and are patient with…
