Figuring It Out
I love this pattern. (Madeline, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.). I love this fabric. (Rounenneries by French General for Moda). I want to make this quilt, but I do not want a Schinbbles size quilt. I want a BIG quilt. Well, at least 70 inches or so square. But I don't want…

The Birds and the Bees
Just so you know, I am not All Moda All the Time. I am All Moda Pretty Much of the Time, but do collect fabric from other manufacturers as well. The collection shown above is The Birds and the Bees by Keri Beyer for In the Beginning. This is such a fresh and energetic group…

New Fabric–Rural Jardin
This week I want to show you some new fabric that has come into my life recently. The group pictured above is Rural Jardin, the new collection by French General for Moda. A generous benefactress, who pays me in fabric, sent it to me last week! Does it get any better than this? Will Work…

Staple Guns
I am so proud of myself! I recovered my grody table top ironing board this weekend. The first step was to put on two layers of batting, then a piece of pretty fabric. I flipped the board over, positioning everything just so, then got out the staple gun to secure the fabric and batting in…

Best Press
Have ya'll heard of Mary Ellen's Best Press? Well, many quilters think it's a miracle in a bottle, that is for sure. Best Press is a spray starch in a non-aerosol bottle (environmentally friendly, doncha know?). It is a clear starch alternative that makes ironing a breeze. It smells real good (in several fragrances), will…

Ridiculously Cute Baskets
I've been playing a bit in the sewing room this week. Trying to get used to the idea of spending a lot more time in there! I pulled out my Simple Abundance basket block project and had myself some fun. These colors just say Spring to me, and give my spirits such a lift. (Not…

So, How About Them Buns, Honey?
I think it is time for a little reward to my blogging friends! There is much to celebrate in my life right now, and I can't think of a better way to express my gratitude than a little blog give away. Yes, my heart is becoming lighter as I imagine giving these little darlings…

Late in the Day
The picture is darkish, but doesn't the table took pretty with the late afternoon sun shining through those yellow glasses? It was a puttery sort of weekend, and tasks of many sorts were accomplished. I got my kitchen put back together after the cabinet refinishing. Who was it who recommended that I place the contents…

Oooh La La!
While the cabinets were being refinished, I holed up in my sewing room. Two great things happened. One, I finished a stunt sewing quilt top that I have been dragging out. Big sigh of happiness. Such adorable fabric, and when you see how cute this quilt is, you will want to make one too! But,…
