Corned Beef Recipe
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to share my amazing corned beef and cabbage recipe with you. I don't have a picture of my last effort, but the picture above that I got off the internet gives you an idea. This recipe is the only, the best, the greatest corned beef recipe you will ever eat. I…

A New Project
I was planning on keeping this project a surprise, but I am just no good at that. How adorable is this fabric? It is a kit put together by the great folks at Prairie Queens, and when I saw it, I knew it needed to come home with me. They even fussy cut a big…

Another Eventide Tuesday
You do get the idea of what my finished top is going to look like, don't you? I have sewn the center section of nine rows all together, and have the blocks for the two side sections arranged on either side of the center. The inner border of small red hour glass blocks will go between…

Monday Blues
I don't have a lot to show for my weekend, unfortunately. We put our house back on the market and had agents wanting to bring their clients through. This of course, is a good thing, but I wasn't quite ready for them. I had about two and a half hours to put the house to rights before…

I had two different William Morris collections, A Morris Garden and A Morris Workshop, with many many lovely…

Eventide Tuesday
Obviously I have gotten a bit distracted from my Eventide project, with the baby quilts and so on. Monday before work I got myself in gear and made several of the Ohio Star blocks with the half square triangle corners. I think they will add a very nice scrappy element to the whole quilt. Here…

Central Park Baby Quilt
I worked this weekend, but managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing time. I sewed my blocks together for the Central Park baby quilt, and am so pleased with the happy, light-hearted results. I left out the pink/purple colorway, but saved the blocks and scraps to make a baby girl themed quilt (if that…
