Some Worthwhile Links
This has been a very unproductive week around here! Since I have not done any sewing, I wanted to share links to some various things you all might find of interest or inspiration. This book by Pam and Nicky Lintott has been out for some months, but it only just came to my attention. Paulette…

Guess You’re Stuck with Me
I know I am not half as cute as Baby E, and I am more high maintenance to boot. But the family has laid down the law and Nicole won't be posting pictures of the baby's face in the future. But hey. What's wrong with my mug? As dogs go, I think I am pretty…

Zippy Bag Bonanza
I've been making zippy bags galore of late, as you can see from my photo above. I think my favorites are the little eyeglass cases! I have also made cosmetics bags in two sizes, large and small. What great gifts these will make! Wouldn't a set of all three bags make a nice presentation? If…

BOM Rehab Monday
I rallied at the eleventh hour on Sunday and got my BOM Rehab block done. This is block nine of the Mystery BOM featuring a 3 Sisters Christmas collection called Grace, that was sponsored by the Fatquartershop. Finally, I seem to be over the miserable virus that laid me low last week. I even felt…

Thriller, Filler, Spiller
Have you heard the planting adage "Thiller, Filler, Spiller"? That is a handy way to remember that when you plant a container, it is good to have a central, taller, flashy plant (your "Thriller"), surrounded by some smaller plants that will fill up the open space, and perhaps add some interesting foliage (your "Filler), and…

BOM Rehab Monday
Honestly, I have come down with whatever virus Baby E has had, and feel like c&#p. Tylenol helps, but not nearly enough. (She seems to have recovered and is back to her happy self). So, just a short post to show you that I rallied and made my BOM Rehab Monday blocks. It just about…

Zippy Eyeglass Cases
In between minding a fussy baby, I have managed to get in some sewing time. Thanks largely to the use of an electronic baby monitor that allows me to sew down in my studio and hear Evangeline if she stirs from her nap. Great invention. How did we ever manage without these devices that are…

Last Word on Spray Basting
Didn't I get some interesting comments on spray basting? I thought so too! I was particularly interested in Sandy Brown's comment that referred to a video that Patsy Thompson did concerning how she spray bastes her quilts on her design wall. http://www.patsythompsondesigns.com/free-video/ Check out this link for a video tutorial that is enormously informative! I…

Quilt Basting Spray
Do any of you use quilt basting spray? Helen of the Runquiltknitwrite blog posed the question in her post yesterday. She was considering getting some and wondering if it works on large quilting projects. I thought this question made a great topic for discussion. I love spray baste. It smells horrendous, but if you use…

BOM Rehab Monday
I finished six filler blocks this week for the BOM Rehab project. My block for next week will be a basket block for this same BOM, which is several years old and called Simply Sophisticated, fabric by Blackbird Designs. Who knows, if I get the notion, perhaps I will make a block for my 2010…
