Blogger Girls BOM Setting Squares
I have been experimenting a bit with some alternate ideas for my setting squares for the Blogger Girls BOM. Here is a little peek at what I am thinking of doing. Not so many Square in a Square blocks, and more of a chain design. I am also thinking of doing a diagonal set rather…

Arrrggggh. My Dog is SO Annoying.
I've been buying a few outside/active play toys for Eva to use this summer when she is at my house. This is one of them, a Little Tykes basket ball hoop. She loves it and got to put one ball through the basket. Then Ozzie got the ball away from her and now it looks…

Baskets All Over the Place
It seems as if these baskets are multiplying. There are certainly too many to be on the design wall all together. I have to sew rows in sections, then drape them over the furniture in the studio until I can sew the sections together. That is the middle section you see there on the table…

New Idea for Wine Coasters
Pretty neat, huh? This is a new idea for wine coasters that I found on this tutorial. I have been making mug rugs to sell at my son in law's tasting room, but lately they haven't been selling all that well. They are rather labor intensive, and I am thoroughly sick of making them. These…

It’s Spring Here Too!
Gorgeous weather here, and I am trying to surround myself with as many pretty blossoms as I can. I ran out to the garden center (part of my local Ace Hardware store) when they opened at 7:00 AM today, and picked up a trunk full of blossoms. These are only petunias, as we don't get…

Happy Birthday Mary Ann
Oh dear, how did your birthday sneak up on me? I am late with your gift and feel awful! It is going in the mail today, and I hope you will like it. A little table topper in your beachy oceanic colors. I used a marvelous template called The Crumbler, designed by Carrie Nelson of…

Mission Accomplished
Well, no, it isn't finished, but I am making great progress on attaching the lattice on my Hill Country Baskets blocks. A reader commented on my last post that she could not see that fussy cutting the striped fabric for the lattice was worth all the trouble, but I could not disagree more. What would…

I Got the Most Important Thing Done
I did accomplish my number one priority yesterday—the quilting on the third charity quilt. Now to sew the binding down, and that chapter is complete. Since I care for my little grand child most days, I have been trying to sew a bit in the evenings if I am not totally exhausted. Last evening, I…

Nothing But Plans
I've been having a busy week, that's for sure. No sewing until today, and I have to tell you I am beginning to panic, I have so many deadlines! I am spending a few minutes this morning trying to organize my thoughts and get an action plan in motion. Did you know the Another Year…
