I have had most of the week to piddle and sew, you'd think I would have been more productive. I have projects in progress, but the stand and stare time has been massive, LOL! Plus, an entire day and a half was spent wrestling with my new embroidery machine. After playing with it for a …

Autumn Jubilee Embroidery Sew Along
The Sew Along continues today with the addition of borders to our little project. This will use up more of our scraps, and give you an idea for a larger project as well. I have no end to Autumn inspired fabric scraps, LOL!! It is just a matter of choosing a bunch, then cutting 2-1/2-inch …
Just Roll With It Embroidery
The last time we had this embroidery on a Sunday chat, I was in the middle of the stitching. For some reason, I had a hard time getting going on it. I think the decisions on colors stymied me for a bit. Once the decisions were made, it went a bit faster. Having a few …
Sunday Chat
This week has just been so busy, with car club events, playing pickleball, quilt meetings and lunch with friends. It is no wonder that I have little accomplished in the sewing and crafting room for the week. On Thursday, I went to a quilt area meeting then stopped by the Quilts of Valor sew day. …
Sunday Chat
It was a week of flitting from project to project. Somehow my concentration was a bit off. Early mornings were cool, but the days warmed up fast to hot and humid. On the bird feeder this week, a mom cardinal brought her son. You can see he is almost done molting his baby feathers and …
Sunday Chat
On the veranda, look who is back! The wren couple have build another nest in a little metal bucket. I felt so bad for them when something got their eggs a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they will be able to raise a family this time. I hope their nest is high enough so no …
Teacups Quilt Along – Block 12
Our block for the July installment of the Teacups Quilt Along takes us back to applique one more time. We have cups, and a kettle for the water, teapots to steep and hold the hot tea. What are we missing? Well, tea bags of course!! This month, we will applique two teabags on an 8-1/2-inch …
Teacups Embroidered Block
This month's block for the Teacups quilt along is an embroidered block. The quilt along is a mixed techniques one, so I am throwing in some handwork. This was mainly due to the complexity of the design I wanted for the sugar and creamer, more delicate and intricate. If you haven't joined us for this …
Teacups Quilt Along – Block 8
Last month, we did a teapot, and the discussion that followed was about sugar and creamer (or milk for the true tea drinkers) to go with the quilt along. I looked around but didn't really see anything I liked. I briefly considered making an applique pattern from my own little sugar and creamer set from …
Christmas Redwork Pillow
The Christmas Redwork project almost didn't get finished this season. It seemed like the days just flew by and I didn't get a lot of stitching done each week. Progress was made, but just not quickly. Last weekend, stitching resumed in earnest until the redwork was done. I wanted to add some beads to dress …
