I used several suggestions from you, dear readers, to do this machine binding on the Quick Quilt. This time, I sewed the binding onto the back, then turned it to the front. I did use some pins to make the miters on the corners, and few to hold the binding down as it was being …

National Button Day
It's National Button Day! Believe it or not, another wacky holiday for us to celebrate. So what can we do with some buttons in the craft room? Here are a few ideas, some I have blogged about last year. The holidays are coming up, how about making some Cookie Cutter Ornaments with buttons. Use a …
Slow Stitching Sunday #7
This week was fairly productive, but I am not at all sure I like the results, starting with the thimble. I made a mistake, using three strands of brown for the French knots instead of two strands. I didn't figure this out until it was all done, and I don't think I want to pick …
Help me bring back a favorite and enjoy some creme brulee
Have you seen The Christmas List? It is a wonderful, 1997 holiday movie owned by ABC, and they refuse to bring it out on DVD. I have personally begged them for years to release it, but every year they tell me "not this year". That is when they bother to answer the feedback emails. Amazon …

Thanksgiving Cards 2015
Holidays are so much fun, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just love this time of year with the leaves turning, cooler days and nights, wearing my sweaters but not needing a heavy coat, and playing with autumn colors. Stamping is part of that and once again I want to do a few cards …
Quick Quilt
Our local quilt club is doing some kid quilts for a local charity. I did two with Winnie the Pooh fabric using the directional print two ways. I figured that with a goal of 50, it wouldn't hurt to run up just one more quick quilt. It is so much easier with my stash to …
Slow Stitching Sunday #6
Wow, it is hard to believe I have been at this for six weeks! Progress is being made, though, and this week was a bit more productive. I finished off the scissors, in spite of all the knots that the metallic thread made. I got most of the way on the thimble. It was a …
Christmas Mystery or Quilt Along?
It is so much fun to play with EQ7, and I have a new design for a Christmas Table Topper. It will take just a bit to put together, and I thought we could have some fun. So, today I will give you the fabric requirements and cutting instructions for the project, as well as …
