I quilted like CRAZY in March because it was National Quilt Month and I was quite determined to pull all of my unfinished quilts out and work on each one. While I made a lot of progress, I didn’t finish any of the four. Then the month of April was mainly spent in the gardens plus designing, creating, and stitching … ….oh there’s more
Yeah, you read that right. We have an event coming up where you win trophies and cash prizes for tossing dead fish. The Homosassa Civic Club is hosting the event on their festival grounds. Of course, Terry and I are on the committee since he is the president of the club and I’m the first lady. There will not just … ….oh there’s more
Three years ago, I made several soup cozies following the instructions from a different website. I posted about the project and sent everyone over to that website for the step-by-step instructions. I didn’t put it on Pinterest but somebody did and its recently been a very popular post in my Pinterest analytics. I wanted to make a few more as … ….oh there’s more
Last week I made a recycled denim shopping tote for my son-in-law Andrew. This week I crafted a Beer Bag for my very good friend Rosey. You can see my original post about making beer bags here. Or just click here to download the free tutorial. Rosey’s going through a difficult time and a couple of our friends decided to … ….oh there’s more
I spent all of my sewing time making quilts in March for National Quilt Month–I worked on four different quilts and the Hope Tattoo wall hanging. I finished the wall hanging, but the quilts are all in different stages of completion. I hate leaving them unfinished but I have to move on to other projects that have upcoming due dates! … ….oh there’s more
Hope. Love that thought. Right now we could all use some hope. I also like Peace. And Love. Anyhow. I found this quilt pattern on Instagram. (I am a total sucker for Instagram. My iPad is devoted to giving me the latest fabric, quilt design, home decor, and Florida Wildlife pics.) Anyhow. I came across this pattern for the Tattoo … ….oh there’s more
Several months ago I spotted the Mod Meow fabric by Amanda Niederhauser For Riley Blake on Instagram. I even showed it to my daughter in November when we visited for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, it wasn’t available until March. And I didn’t have anything to make with it. Even though I LOVED it. I’m really trying to only buy fabric that I … ….oh there’s more
I’ve been enjoying time in my garden over the last month. The weather is good. But that won’t last much longer. May brings the heat and humidity. I try to get as much done as possible in March and April. Here’s some photos from the last few weeks. Started a new garden where I have NEVER been able to grow … ….oh there’s more
I didn’t get one quilt finished even though I spent all my sewing time in March piecing and quilting in honor of “National Quilting Month”. But I made substantial progress on three out of the four quilts that were in various stages of stitching. Here’s my Scrappy Times 3 front on Sunday. I probably would have that one finished had … ….oh there’s more
I have become borderline obsessed with getting my four unfinished quilts FINISHED! None are complete yet….but I’ve made real progress. First I want to chat a little about the Sew Cool Workshop. This was a really fun program at the Old Homosassa Learning Center. Somedays we would have three women. Others times 15. We didn’t have any set projects. Just … ….oh there’s more
