Thanksgiving Week
I think it rained this entire weekend, non stop. It didn't stop us from getting out and about though. We did all our Thanksgiving grocery shopping, saw the new James Bond movie, had the kids and Grandpa to dinner, and tweeked my display at the winetasting shop. It was a weekend of comfort food, starting…

I Made It!
Here is my little table in the wine tasting room. I managed to get most of my new holiday merchandise on display by Friday afternoon, as I had hoped. It is quite shocking what a person can do when they put their mind to it. There is still some tweeking to be done. I need…

Thursday Update
My dining room table is filling up with boutique items. Yesterday my progress doesn't appear so grand as the previous days. I really ran out of steam after the baby left at 6:00. No evening sewing for me. What I accomplished was three boxy zippy bags. The red ones in the foreground are for…

Wednesday Progress Report
I tell you, it is just amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. I had to work at the shop yesterday, but before I went in, I made 13 tissue holders out of the leftover Adoring fabric that I didn't use for mug rugs. Actually, they are super cute, and…

Tuesday’s Progress
Here is what I was able to finish yesterday with the baby hanging on my leg while I sewed. Six table runners and four sets of mug rugs. I made a decision regarding the table runners that has been a huge time saver. I decided not to bind them, but to sew them envelope style …

Why Oh Why
Why oh why have I left things so late? What was I thinking? It is November and my son in law is asking me what holiday items I am going to sell in his shop during November and December. Can I bring a few things in for next weekend? Good question. Oh dear oh dear…

Double X
Yes, this block is named Double X. I should have had a clue, since that is the name of the pattern in the APQ magazine, but who pays attention to those things, right? Traditionally, I believe this block is made with three fabrics, one for the red, one for the block background and one for…

Black is Beautiful
Well, I think it looks good in black too. Today I did a bit of experimenting, and it is clear that I can make very good use of my half square triangle "mistakes". The red and white version on the cover of the APQ magazine I showed yesterday has the same lights in the background…

Red and White All Over Again
You know how I am always rummaging around in my cupboards where my project boxes are stored? And how sometimes I discover something I had completely forgotten about? I am happy to report that it has happened again. After I made my red and white snowball quilt, I had a lot of fabric left over. …

Stop, Drop and Roll
I worked a bit on my Little Bites "Drop" project while the baby took her nap yesterday. All I have to say about this miniscule little project is………….. It is absurdly, ridiculously fun. These teensy little blocks are the end result of quite a bit of trimming at each step of construction, but so worth…
