July Schnibble
July Schnibble. Check. I made a small version of Dimestore for my Schnibble of the month. I used the same fabric collection Carrie used in her pattern version: Urban Cowgirl by Urban Chiks for Moda. Love this fabric group, and I started out intending to make a full size quilt. After a few cutting errors…

Spools Sew Along Update for the Week
Here are my Spools strip sets all ready to go. I love getting them up on my design wall, because one or two always stand out as not playing well with the others. I see you, and no, you can't be in my quilt. The next step for me is to get the white background…

New Acquisition
One of my readers recently reminded me that eBay is a great source for layer cakes, jelly rolls and charm packs that have not been released to the general public. I got right on it, and found six collections I have been coveting. Technically, only two of them are scarce as hens' teeth, and I…

Terrific, Awesome Tool for Machine Quilting
Through the suggestion of one of my extremely brilliant readers (Grandma Goose/no blog), I have discovered a new tool that has completely changed machine quilting for me. My sewing machine is a Bernina, and I have loved it for probably 15 years now. It is a great machine, and when I buy another one, it…

Squeezin’ In A Little Sewing
You probably can't tell, but these are fall themed zippy eyeglass cases. I am trying to get a jump on my next "color story" for my little bags that my son in law sells in his wine tasting room. Love these fun fabrics by Sandy Gervais. It was a fall collection she came out with…

Kiss Me Update
Before I start on my new Spools project, I definitely need to clean up things in my sewing studio. Which means moving this Kiss Me project along. Yesterday was my day off, and I sewed the blocks together and attached the first border. Now I am making 48 flying geese, which will be the second…
