Definitely not a good idea.  We are having our windows replaced and I am loving them.  DON’T  start trying to cut out specific measurements when men on ladders are outside your window…I had to re-cut 2 sets of squares because my attention was on a pair of legs out my window.  Did not measure right.Continue reading “Don’t try cutting out a project when having windows replaced…”

While doing some moving things to have new windows installed, I came across this.  It has been on a shelf for a while.  When the Johnny Depp’s version of Alice In Wonderland was coming out a sewing club I belong to had a challenge to make anything related to the movie.  Here is my versionContinue reading “Throw Back Thursday”

Getting some wonderful items together for a March giveaway.  Just a little tease.  On Monday I will post what the giveaway will be and how long. As far as today it is cold out doors and I will be staying in.  Hopefully in the sewing room.   I have my fabric picked out and patternContinue reading “What time is it? Time for a give away.”

While on vacation we went to several (LOTS really) National Parks.  Little did I know they sold these nice printed fabric pictures for quilts.  I laid them on on my design wall trying to decide on a quilt. On my next vacation I will save about $150.00 and print off some of my pictures.  IContinue reading “What to do with these?”

Such a wonderful day yesterday.  I spent the day outside and it was great.  Grass is turning green . I can’t wait for spring to finally show up.  I keep telling myself this is still February.  When not outside I finished up some microwave cozies and tortilla warmers.  Now we have these things finished upContinue reading “Good Morning”

My Hubby surprised me with a trip to Missouri Star Quilts in Hamilton, Missouri.  I am sure you have seen Jenny Doan’s Youtube videos.  This is where her stores are and where she shoots her videos.  Check out her page and join the Forum.  Also  Rob Appell of Man Sew videos there also.  I foundContinue reading “Super Saturday”
