This week has been a bit busy, with some personal issues taking up the first three days. I finally got back to the blue and yellow table topper, and was able to get a couple more rows done with the curve ruler. One thing I have to remember, the foot will keep the stitches about …

Sunday Chat – Baking, Gardening, Stamping and Quilt Goal
It was a rainy day on Friday, and I needed to do a bit of baking for My Sweet Babboo. I had some fresh blueberries, and decided to use up a pound cake mix I'd purchased for the Mountain State Fair competition last year but didn't use. Ridiculously easy, I just mixed the 16-ounce pound …

Gardening, Quilting and Painting Fun
It's been a busy week, with something going on every day. It hasn't left a lot of time for sewing on my own projects, but I have made good progress on a free quilt along I've designed just for you coming in March for National Quilting Month - more on that below. I also took …

This year was our neighborhood group's turn to host the guild's Holiday party, and we have been working on it for months. We set the theme last spring and began looking for the materials we needed. Settle in for a long and picture heavy post, as I catch you up on all the prep and …

Quilted Jacket Sew Along – Extras!
The jacket was done, and I just could not bring myself to throw away the bits left over from the pattern cutting step. This doesn't look like much, but I just had to figure out something to do with these. Settle in for a long and picture heavy post as I finish everything left. Now, …

Spring Projects
With the warming weather, I think many of us get a bit of cabin fever, wanting to do some outdoor activities and spring projects. I thought it was time to hang a Spring Wreath. I made this one a few years ago, and it is still looking good. Spring is a nice time to send …
Sunday Chat
We were housebound for four days this past week, which meant a lot of projects were either finished or new ones begun. A few Zoom calls took up a bit of time, and I got a bit more progress on the epic historical novel I'm currently reading. Just before the snow started, I got this …
Sunday Chat
It is the last Sunday of the month, and Autumn arrived this week with beautifully cool days. The garden is winding down, but I am still harvesting a lot of tomatoes! This was a couple of days worth, with lots of little cherry tomatoes and another Cherokee purple. The hydrangea is covered in dark pink/green …
