Thank you everyone who had their own way of sorting scraps.  I have gotten lots of ideas and am ready to get organized.  I started last night and after about an hour I was calling it a night.  I caught myself putting it back where I had gotten it from.  Now I have a planContinue reading “Thank You!!!!!!”

This morning I was reading a blog from https://catbirdquilts.wordpress.com/ and it brought a question to mind…How does one go about organizing your stash of fabric?  I have a large amount in different totes.  I try to sort by color, not quite right. By size, looks just piled up.  Seriously I am tired of all these oddsContinue reading “Need Stash Help”

Well I am ready for the last 2 craft fairs of 2016.  I have called it quits for the one on Nov. 5th  and have Jalapeno Pecan brittle, Pecan Brittle, and Peanut Brittle to make for the 18th and 19th sales.  Then it is all finished.  Or at least as finished as I call it.Continue reading “Last 2 Craft Fairs of the year”

Today has been wonderful.  Had to go to JoAnn’s for some quilt batting and then finished a wall hanging and started another.  Tomorrow even more sewing.  What could be better? Wait till you see what is in store for tomorrow.

Now I am thinking more of going thru all my vacation photos and making a series of these wall hangings.Continue reading “Natural Bridges”

I am trying to work on an applique pattern I got from Bryce Canyon a few weeks ago.  It is not coming out to my liking, but we will see how it turns out.  I will be working on it tomorrow and hopefully it will come together.  I look at all my fabric and thenContinue reading “Sweet Saturday”
