Christmas Among the Stars Again Months 1, 2, 3
Another glorious day of sewing yesterday. I have finished the first three months of the Fatquartershop Block of the month sew-along "Among the Stars Again". Now, here's a question for you. I could make this same block of the month with Fig Tree Halloween fabrics. I have a bundle of Fig Tree Pumpkins and Blossoms…

2022 Off to a Great Start
The New Year has gotten off to a great start for me. My goal is to tackle my large number of UFOs and either finish them or let them go. It's probably not surprising that I was drawn right back into the Lori Holt Red Sampler quilt. I had completed only six weeks of the…

Cooking Up a Storm
Hope your holiday celebrations have been as magnificent as mine have been! Since our son arrived home from Ireland, we have been cooking up a storm. All the dishes he has been craving, and some new experiments as well. On one of his first nights home, we made homemade pasta for linguine and clams. It…

January Mug Rugs
Since I was excited about the idea of the Mug Rug of the Month Club, I got cracking on the January offering. I had a tub full of Primitive Gatherings Snowman Gatherings fabrics that are perfect for that month. I had a couple of false starts, but ended up with four mug rugs that are…

Shine Bright Table Runner
This is a table runner I made last year but didn't get a chance to use until now. It is a pattern called Shine Bright by Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters. The pattern is for a lap quilt, but I adapted it to be a table runner. The pattern is jelly roll friendly, so…
