Buttons can be such fun to play with. I have several tins full, some have been sorted into little bags to keep sets together, and lots are just loose. Whatever project I have in mind, it seems that there are plenty of buttons to use. I still have this Button Basket sitting in my sewing …

Road Trip, Embellishing Wool and Oriental Fabrics
Recently, I was having a lovely email conversation with a lady online, and she mentioned that she had a huge amount of fabric she was trying to sell. The fabric came from a friend with medical problems, and the sale proceeds would go to helping with the expenses. When we realized that we only live …

Autumn Jubilee Stitch Along Wool Applique
Did you get all your leaves done last week? Well, if not, that's OK, its another slow stitching Sunday. If you did, we are now going to put on some buttons to embellish the piece. I am not doing a lot, just a few to accent the fall colors. So, here is where I started. …

Quilted Art Project Finish!
Yes, it is finally done. I actually worked on it through the week before Memorial Day, and was able to get it mounted and hung last weekend. From the beginning, I wanted something to go on the wall that was large, and I also wanted to use a large oval hoop that has been sitting …

Quilted Art Project Update 4
I know, it has been a couple of weeks since I showed any progress this project. I had to set it aside while I worked on the Moda Bake Shop recipe that published this past week (Pin Woven Tote on the sidebar). Between that, the charity quilts, the car club, and spring springing, little time …
Quilted Art Project – week 3
Another week, and it has again been busier than expected. I did manage to get some stitching done this week, and I plan to do more today. I added a few more buttons, and realize I need more lighter ones for contrast. I finished the couching on the lavendar trim too. I made one little …
