It's check in time! Can you believe that another month has gone by? Only two more check-ins left before the end of the year for our Stashbuster challenge! Once again, there is no judgement when the sale table calls, an adorable print shows up in the quilt shop, a vendor’s offerings at the quilt show …

Stashbusters October
As we come into fall, it seems like it will be easier to have projects finished and fabric out. Do you have more time to sew in the fall? It seems like I do, or maybe it is only because it is my favorite season and I am more inspired. With Fall Fortnight coming, I'll …
January Scraps Clean Out
Last week I was lamenting about my lack of inspiration and the overwhelming amount of fabric scraps I seem to have collected. I thank you all for your supportive comments and good suggestions. A couple of the comments mentioned cutting up all the scraps into squares, but honestly I didn't have the energy to do …
Scrap Madness
Scraps, scraps and more scraps! Every project means more and more, bits and pieces, and what is it about quilters that we cannot throw anything out? Well, for a confirmed recycler like me, it is just not possible to send something to a landfill that I can use somehow. But this is getting out of …
Making Card Carriers
With the NC Quilt Symposium coming to Asheville in 2018, our local longarm group is once again making small items to add to the goodie bags to get our group publicity.

Scrappy Project part 2
This morning, the sun is shining on the snow, but I am still not going anywhere. Here is the driveway with about 4 inches of snow left. Nope, not going anywhere until more melting takes place. The sun should make the road passable by late afternoon today, but too late to go to work. Snow …
Scrappy Project
Last October, I went through the three 2-gallon bags of scraps I had to in order to organize them and use them up. I found a huge number of half square triangles that became the Offset Diamond Quilt. After I pulled out all those, I used up a bunch of pieces cut to 3-inches for …
Scraps – Making order out of chaos
I know I have shown part of my scrap pile in the past, but every time I think I have a project to use it up, I end up with still more. I really thought that Scrap Dance would take care of this pile, but I completed that quilt and this still remains. And that …
More Sewing Goodies
Now that I have the Sewing Kit finished, I had fabric left. Those scraps were begging to be used for more matching accessories, so I made a few more quickie projects. The needle book is made like a tiny quilt, folded over, with a wool felt 'page' to keep the needles on. It has a …
