Spent the morning at the Court House waiting to see if I had to serve on a jury.  Was told to come back on the 27th and the lawyers will pick  15 people out of 200 of us.  If I am chosen it will be a murder trial lasting about a week.  On the wayContinue reading “Wednesday Wonders”

Got 3 portfolio bags made and only 9 more to go.  These are for some local artists to carry their canvases in.  Turned out pretty good.  I will post some pictures tomorrow as it is a little dark outside right now. We are enjoying the unusually warm weather for February and spending time outdoors andContinue reading “Bright Tuesday”

Woke up this morning to a beautiful day.  Sun shinning, squirrels playing chase around the large oak outside my sewing room window.  What can make a day much better. Yesterday we went to a quilt show in here in town.  The quilts were pretty; although there were only a few that caught my eye.  IContinue reading “Sunny Sunday”

Today brought a beautiful 64 degrees and tomorrow promises to be even better.  I can’t believe it is the middle of February.  I can’t wait for spring and weather like this makes me want to start looking at flowers to plant.  But I have to wait a little longer.  We have started planning our nextContinue reading “Fresh Friday”

Sorry I haven’t posted lately, a roller coaster of emotions and “drama” here, but looks like we are all back to our norm.  I have started making Portfolio bags for some local artists and am enjoying it.  I am using up fabric so fast I will have to make a trip to Missouri Star Quilts,Continue reading “Where Oh Where Has The Time Gone?”

This morning I was looking thru some pictures wanting to clean the computer up some. I found these of a few years ago.  Made these curtains while recovering knee replacement surgery. This was my first attempt of taking a photo and making a wall hanging from it.  It is a Live Oak tree on my sister’sContinue reading “Memory Monday”

Today I was playing and I think I am going to make more.  Grand daughter loves Bubble Guppies so here is one I made for her.  I had the face for my embroidery machine and came up with the rest.  Now to see what Destiny thinks of her.  Sometimes you never know.  Now to giveContinue reading “Good Evening”

Mom and I tend to play around with new ideas and new things.  The new things that I have happened to enjoy doing are child safe dolls and bags/purses.  But this post is about the babies I am excited to be working on.  While cruising around the internet one day (very possibly Pinterest, since I’mContinue reading “New Additions”

Got out this morning and took a few pictures of the quilt.  I have stitched in the ditch on all seams, and am undecided on the borders as to if I should do some type of quilting, not all over, just something to add to it. I asked and want honesty.  The pictures I tookContinue reading “As Promised, Plus Questions”

Today the mail lady was so nice to me.  She brought me my Sew Slip multi purpose sheet.  It is a silicone sheet that sticks to the sewing machine and helps the fabric glide while quilting.  I played with it today and love it.  I ordered it from Missouri Star Quilt.  So much fun. TomorrowContinue reading “Hello, Again”
