Don't you love pine cones? I am lucky to have a lot of pine trees on our property, but the best ones come from my friend who gets the big ones from her sister's place. She recently brought a whole bag of them, with a catch. I could have them if I made her a …

Slow Stitching Sunday #11
Slow Stitching was a success as I finished the little sewing ornaments this week. Participating with this group has really helped me to stay motivated to make progress each week. Sometimes it wasn't much, but every week had some progress. They looked a bit unfinished when I got them all stuffed and closed this week. …
Christmas Trip Around the World
My mother in law is coming for Christmas, and I have less than a week now to finish a quilt for the guest bed from scratch. I know, you will all think I am crazy (and maybe rightfully so, LOL), but I decided to do a Trip Around the World quilt for the guest bed …
Another Quick Christmas Project
Christmas fabrics are taking over my sewing room, and I wanted to use a new technique to use some up. I eventually want to do a Trip Around the World quilt, just because I haven't ever done one. The construction uses a cylinder technique, where you sew all your strips together into a tube, then …

Sloppy Toms with Cranberry Barbecue Sauce
Just over a week past Thanksgiving, and DH is complaining that he is tired of turkey. Truth be told, so am I. I took homemade turkey noodle soup to the office and had it two times there, then again at home. But I still have turkey left. Thank goodness I put half of the breast …
Christmas Quilt Along Finishes
Are you quilting along with us for a quick Christmas project? I finished my Christmas Quilt Along table runner this past weekend. Here it is displayed on my kitchen pie safe with a cute ceramic reindeer. I change out the books on top to all Christmas cookbooks. Lynn used really fun fabrics, look at those …
Holiday Crafting – Christmas Sleigh
I have had this little sleigh for about two years now, given to me by a friend cleaning out her crafty stuff. I have just let it sit, as I always have projects going. This year I wanted to get it done to use this season. It is just plain, so what to do with …
