This week I have been working on a new quilt. Last blog I show you the blocks. I started putting them togoether and was so excited. Just need to make the borders and I was on a roll. Notice anything with this? As the granddaughter would tell me. “The pattern is not right”. The topContinue reading “Notice Anything About This?”

Today we had a visit from our son, daughter in law and grand dog. Jethro is an Englis Mastiff and if he doesn’t want to do something he won’t. Earlier he went out and had lots of fun in the sprinkler. https://www.facebook.com/100007362691933/videos/pcb.2778109979111065/2778065975782132 I don’t know how to take it from Facebook and put it onContinue reading “A Fun Sunday”

Sat down took stock of craft fair items and decided what I needed to work on. Since there are only 2 fairs still in the planning I thought I’d better get in gear and work on a few new items and gear things toward Christmas. It is getting closer. I saw a Lori Holt NeedleContinue reading “Play Day today”

I had a great routine going until I started making masks and then all went out the window. But I am now on track again. I had joined a SAL from Italy about March or April and then got behind.

Yesterday and today I have been taking photos of the things I have been making and getting our Etsy shop updated. Something I have put off doing and now have been consumed with doing this.

I am making my pinwheels by sewing around 2 2 3/4 inch blocks put together face to face and then cutting diagonally across the blockContinue reading “Back to the Scrappy Quilt”

As my scraps have been growing so much lately I decided to attempt my first scrappy quilt. So I started sewing lots of 2 3/4 inch squares together. While doing this I came across some larger pieces and so the center is a pinwheel and am working my way out. After looking at it thisContinue reading “First Attempts at a Scrappy Quilt”

Today is the day that I will take the scrap bag seriously. I have a bushel basket of scraps that I have collected over the months. I have not made anything unplanned and this is intimidating. I love all the scrap quilts I see and am jumping in. Both feet first HA. The last fewContinue reading “Scrap Happy Day”

Today is one of the days we really need. Rain! It woke me up early this morning and poured. Will be doing this all day. A great day for sewing, right? Read a good book? Yesterday the city came out and dug a 2 1/2 ft trench the length of our back yard to buryContinue reading “When it rains it pours…………”

The last several days have been busy making masks. Summer school has opened up and the kids have to wear masks. Schools here are giving parents the option to do on line learning or in class. If they are in class everyone will wear masks, eat in the classroom, not play on equipment outside andContinue reading
