Easy Corn Salad
I made the best corn salad yesterday. It isn't so much of a recipe as it is a list of ingredients, most of which you see in the photo above. I had 5 ears of corn, which I cut off the cob. I combined the corn with a diced red pepper, a diced jalapeno, and…

One Block Progress
I've got a couple dozen of these blocks done so far, and am pleased with the ease at which they can be turned out. I have put my iron right next to my sewing machine so I can avoid getting up to the pressing station, which saves time and steps. I have been cutting out…

And So It Begins
Summer has officially begun here. I took my girl to her first day of swim team practice and as you see from her stance, she was somewhat unsure of the whole enterprise at first. She got with the program without delay however, and I was so proud of her. When the coach first said "Okay,…

Stripping
My friends, I have been starching and cutting fabric for a week! I am going to make the Temecula Quilt Company's One Block Sew Along (which is actually over). I wanted a huge variety of fabrics. There will be around 360 blocks and I did not want to repeat combinations. That meant 45 lights and…

Corn and Beans
This little table topper featuring the Corn and Beans block turned out pretty cute. It is small, about 18", but perfect for the end of my island where I like to have a vase of flowers and a candle. It will be wonderful in August with some sunflowers. I actually sewed for a couple of…

Two Runners Put to Use
The binding is going well. I've been sitting on the porch with an audio book and stitching for awhile every day. This Fig Tree runner looks so pretty on my dining table. I love the toned down colors for summer. The colors in this one definitely are not toned down, but it is so darn…

Eva’s School Experience
Advisory: this is a chatty, kind of ranty, non-quilting related post. We went to my grand daughter Eva's second grade open house last night. She was so proud to show us around her classroom, pointing out her projects on display and her art work on the walls. She was especially excited to show us the…

My Sewing Boxes
Do you all have a special box to hold all your hand sewing notions? What you see in the photo above is my binding box. I have my binding clips (how did we ever live without them?), small scissors, my thimble, and needle threader. I would be lost without my needle threader for sure. I…
