Napkin Tutorial
So many friends have been asking me how I make my napkins, that I thought I would post a tutorial on how to do it. My friend Linda was cranking these out as last minute gifts, and I just had to do it too. The napkins are super easy. I apologize for the quality of…

Gift Wrapping
I’m not proud of this. This is a corner of my bedroom, that seems to be expanding by the hour. It is my Christmas gift corner, where I have been dropping my purchased gifts as I bring them in the house. I have a BIG family, and we all exchange gifts. A good proportion of…

Napkins!
On Friday, I went to my favorite quilt shop, Prairiequeens, for a day of open sewing with my friends. I love that place. I always feel welcome, and I always enjoy the company of the great employees, owner, long arm quilters, teachers and general hangers-out. It is the kind of place that everyone should have…

It Arrived!
My package of fabric arrived from Vintage and Vogue. I ripped open the box and spread it all out right on top of my cutting table. This is the Real Deal. The fabric for the blended quilt I am REALLY making for the Challenge! The fabric (Marleigh by Benartex) is more gorgeous than my wildest…

Waiting For the Mail
I am still waiting for the fabric to arrive for the blended quilt project I am working on with my blogging friends Perry, Cindy, and Lisa. I ordered it Sunday and it is Friday already and it still has not arrived. Since I am completely obsessed with making a blended quilt NOW, fabric or…

Just Playing Around
This is not the quilt pattern I have chosen for the Blended Quilt Challenge. Really. At least I don’t think so. But while I am waiting for the fabrics for my REAL project to arrive, look what I made with the auxillary back up fabrics? Isn’t it pretty? I love those calm blues. I…
