Quilting Day Challenge Project
Tomorrow is our Worldwide Quilting Day challenge exhibit, so I can show you my entry now. It took me several weeks to get this done as there is a lot of detail in it. When we got the challenge fabric, I had an idea of what I wanted to do. Now, understand that I am …
Getting in Some Sewing
Seems like this week got away from me in a hurry. Cleaning out my closet took a couple of hours on Monday, then I was able to have a day of fun on Tuesday with Virtual Retreat. Thank goodness for that! Wednesday was full of appointments and meetings, as was yesterday. With the snow storm …
Delivering the Cradle Quilts
Boxes came in last week every single day. I let them collect for a couple of days and then went to the PO to get them. This day were two boxes with a lot of little quilts! Thank you so much to Lori G who sent 7 cradle quilts, Carol E who sent 16! On …

Not covid this time but still a blow. So, once again little to no time …

These little quilts will be displayed in March for National Quilting Day on the third Saturday. We are provided with a fat quarter of the challenge fabric with the instruction to …
Sewing for the Placemat Challenge, Prizes and More
This week I got busy making my Cornoacation Placemat for the challenge. This post will have the parameters, deadlines, and prizes you can win. The placemat doesn't have to be fancy, something simple will be just fine. Mine is just strips of fabrics, quilted and bound on my domestic machine. Simple and easy! I began …

National Quilting Day
Today is National Quilting Day and World Wide Quilting Day, a celebration of our favorite activity. With the current situation, I am sure many of the planned events have been canceled, including our own local show. It is unfortunate as our local guild was making placemat size wall art for the show, then would have …
