Nantucket Nine Patches
It took no time at all to finish up the Nantucket nine patches. I was all set for hours of stitching, and was pleasantly surprised to get 90 blocks done in a couple of hours. I am going to do what several others are doing, and that is to add eight little star blocks in…

Oh Blah
Well, thank you all for your suggestions on how to best get candle wax and candle stains out of fabric. I got some great ideas, and got cracking to try and remove the mess that I made when I spilled a bunch of liquid wax all over my brand new table topper. My first step…

Tragedy
I just had gotten the binding sewn on my new Clover table topper. I was laying it out on the counter. Do you see that horrible spill? No it isn't cat barf. That would have been preferable. It is candle wax. The candle in the upper right of the photo tipped over and the wax…

Clover, Quilted!
Well, glory be, I got something almost done. I got Clover quilted yesterday while Eva napped. Amazing what a person can do if they don't leave the house all day. Best of all, my house is clean from top to bottom and I didn't even have to do it! Cleaning ladies are worth their weight…

And Once Again, Plans Go Awry
Nothing ever quite goes as planned lately. I was all set to make the most of my week off from taking care of my little grand daughter. I was going to sew up a storm. Nantucket nine patches were going to be breezed through and that quilt top perhaps even finished! Huh. Grandpa got…

Nantucket Stars
I did complete my nine center Nantucket stars on Tuesday. I need to sew them together, but haven't decided on which one should be in the center. Sometimes I think I think too much about things, and should just be more random. It actually looks pretty good as is in the photo! Sometimes I make…

Clover
I know I am a bit late to this party, and really had wanted to make Clover when the Another Year of Schnibbles girls (Sinta and Sherri) featured it, but my schedule just wouldn't allow for it. I had an almost entirely free day yesterday and made the most of it. From start to finish,…

Fall Colors
I had a bit of time in the sewing room yesterday and instead of working on finishing my Nantucket stars, I got side tracked with this pretty fall foliage fabric. In fact, that is what it is called–"Foliage" by Moda. It looks like I will be having a crowd for Thanksgiving dinner and it seemed…

Nantucket Coming Along and Dementia Question
I have finished seven big stars for the center of Nantucket. I have followed the pattern instructions pretty much, making my stars all the same fabric, and the backgrounds scrappy. My sew along friends are choosing different options–mainly making their backgrounds the same. I kind of liked the controlled chaos of the scrappy backgrounds. This…

Mini Charm Packs
Thanks so much for all your sweet good wishes after my unfortunate car accident. Much to be thankful for–Eva or Grandpa weren't with me, I wasn't badly injured, my car is fixable, and the young man who hit me has perhaps learned a lesson. Repairs are underway, I get a new car seat for my…
