Self Tanning
Ok. So I haven't done a post on grooming since, I guess, my home waxing debacle. We are not going to talk about that little incident. But I had something so astonishing happen in regard to my self tanning product, that I just have to share. Maybe over share. St. Tropez is a very high…

Red Pineapple Update
Finally all the strips for my Red Pineapple quilt are cut out. Just the red ones are shown above. I made an executive decision to make this quilt 49 blocks (7 x 7) rather than 56 blocks (7 x 8). I used up every scrap of red French General fabric I own, and believe me,…

Focusing on the Ever Lengthening To Do List
My friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) is a very focused person. I love how organized she is, and how she mostly limits herself to working on one project at a time. She also often gives me pause to think on things in myself I would like to improve. Make that things in myself I would…

Erin Go Bragh
This little table runner is what I made with my green and white flying geese. I don't know what came over me–I am so easily distracted when I am down in my sewing studio. The fabrics were just so fresh and springy, and who doesn't love working on a seasonal project, right at the time…

Wait, What? What on Earth?
There is no room in the studio for a new project. No room. So where did these strips end up? Why, on the arm of the rocking chair of course. Strips? What strips? The only strips you should be working with are the red French General strips for your Pineapple blocks. Ok, so those are…

Slogging Along the Long Road Home
I have to laugh, it barely fits on my design wall! I am working away at connecting my rows of Long Road Home, little by little, day by day. I have some new responsibilities that have fallen my way of late, so I am finding sewing time a bit more challenging. Don't worry, I am…

Joys of the Little Black Dress
So happy with my elegant Easter tablescape! I finished Joy Luck (pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company), made from the beautiful Little Black Dress fabric collection by Basic Grey for Moda. I quilted it with the wiggle stitch on my Bernina, and am pleased as can be with the results. I had…

Little Black Dress A.B.D.
A.B.D. All But Done. Not quite finished with my Little Black Dress/Joy Luck table runner. I got most of it quilted yesterday, all except two borders. I really do love that little wiggle stitch. My mission today is to finish that up, get the binding on and maybe make a little tablescape on the dining…

What Are You Doing NOW?
I just can't help it. With Another Year of Schnibbles on hiatus, I am really missing the nudge from Sinta and Sherri to make another Schnibbles table topper. Besides, I need small projects on which to keep practicing my machine quilting so I don't get rusty. I have a feeling machine quilting is not like…
