Saturday, the Fiber Fair was held at Beginnings Quilt Shop and we set up a large booth space with quilts, quilted table toppers and runners, embroidered towels, and small items. The spectacular quilt from Pam B was on display with a placard stating that proceeds would be sent to Interfaith Assistance Ministry. Unfortunately, it did …

Fall Fortnight Kitchen Towel
Today's project is specifically designed for those who have embroidery machines, but it can also be done with fussy cuts and fall fabrics. Who could use a new pretty kitchen towel? Just about everyone, I think. So, even if you do not have an embroidery machine, read on anyway for a great giveaway today and …
Doing the Happy Scrap Dance
Well, if you heard a loud squeal sometime Sunday afternoon, that was me. I hit on a design for our Fall Fortnight, and I like it so much that I'm going to make several! Oh, now I cannot wait for October!! At this point, I think the event will begin on Sunday, October 13, and …
Celebrating Lemons for Spring
Finally, the weather seems to be warming up and I hope it stays that way. I need to get some plants for the veranda and move the ones from the Carolina room to the front. I am in a mood for fresh lemons both in cooking and in decorating. So, let's take a stroll through …
Sew Day
Our local guild's small group held a sew day earlier this month to make items for our quilt show shoppe. One of the things we voted on as a group project was a sewing tool caddy, a really clever design. The design uses a flyer/photo stand that is 5x7-inches. I made mine in fabrics with …

Sunday Chat
It has been such an interesting week for projects, with a lot of things in the works. I've been working on a Quilt of Valor on the frame, my Japanese art quilt in my chair doing handwork, and crafting in between. We've had wildlife visits, too. I've been cooking up a storm testing recipes for …
Christmas in July – Part One
Today will be the first of two posts as I participate with Sarah's blog hop 12 Days of Christmas in July over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. I have a sew-along embroidery project for you that you can also make with some fussy cuts if you don't have an embroidery machine. So many of …
Rearranging the Sewing Room and Christmas Project
Readers have been asking to see my sewing space, so today, I'll give you a good look. The Kenmore was packed up, and placed in another room for now. My new table has arrived and I have begun the process of moving things around. I moved both embroidery machines to the new table, and they …
