Moda Blockheads 3
I probably have no business starting up another Moda Blockheads project, since I never finished putting my blocks together for the first Moda Blockheads sew along in 2017/18. I do have all my lovely blocks from that one, and need to figure out a setting for them. I used Kansas Troubles fabric for that sew…

Little Projects
I have started another one of those By Thy Hands projects by Buttermilk Basin. The pieced block is Spools, as you can see. I used striped fabric in the hope that it will help in the illusion of thread being on the spools. The wool applique is of a tomato pincushion and a spool of…

Productive Weekend
I did not set foot outside my house for the past three days, and got a lot of sewing done! My husband being glued to the tv watching various football games also helped my productivity level. What have I been working on? Well, a couple of things. My main sewing project is First Flake in…

Pizza!

New Project: First Flake
I have started a new project for January, called First Flake. Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) made one and as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… I ordered the pattern from an Etsy seller and chose some dark blue fabric with a snow flake pattern. I have been starching it in batches for…

My dear husband came home from the grocery store with a spectacular bouquet of yellow roses, and they…

My Year in Quilts: 2019
I will be the first to admit this was an "off-year" for me as far as quilting was concerned. Recently, my daughter Sara was asking me why I was relatively unproductive in 2019, and I had to give it some thought before I answered her. I think there were several main reasons. First, I was…

A Couple of New Things
Over the holidays I picked up a few new sewing accessories that I am really enjoying, which I thought I would share with you. The first thing is a new lamp that was recommended by Lisa Bongean in a recent blog post she put up. I am constantly wishing that I had better light in…

My Top Books of 2019
Happy New Year!! This was quite a reading year for me. My best ever I believe. In 2019 I read 116 books. 105 I read on my Kindle or as a physical book, and 11 of them I listened to as audiobooks. In my year-end wrap-up, I am excited to share with you the very…

This is Really My Last Project for 2019
I managed to squeeze in one last project for 2019. I don't have a lot to show for my year in quilting this year, but I am going out strong. With luck, this will be how I will continue in 2020. This little quilt is not perfect by any means, and I am going to…
