Last Friday I took my Firefly Tote along for a boat ride. Filled it up with sunscreen, water bottle, wallet, and iphone. All the essentials. I could have added the cat and lunch but cats don’t like boat rides and I’m on a diet. Perpetually. We just got the boat back from the second repair place it has been in … ….oh there’s more
All my fabric and sewing supplies that were on order finally made it to my sewing space. Have to say that Joanne’s was the first to arrive–next day! Etsy was a few days later. And Fat Quarter Shop took over a week. No judgement. I just need to work the mailing times into my project line. While I waited I … ….oh there’s more
I posted last week about the Firefly Tote that I made from the pattern by Noodlehead.com. I liked it so much and want to make a few more in different sizes. I signed up for the Firefly Tote SAL. You can go to this post on her website to sign up if you are interested. It starts today, June 22nd! … ….oh there’s more
Last week I was whining about waiting, waiting, waiting for all the orders that I made to finish up the many projects that I started but couldn’t finish. Because I didn’t plan properly. Anyhow, the orders finally started rolling in! The first to arrive was the cotton webbing I ordered for the Firefly Tote. And why did I even need … ….oh there’s more
Finished! I read a lot of quilting blogs and I have recently discovered that there are photos that should be taken of every quilt. I have yet to be contacted by the quilt police regarding my lack of the required quilt snaps. I call them glamour shots which I now am putting under the proper headings. The Full Quilt The … ….oh there’s more
I have not been able to stick with one project over the past few weeks. Because I’m waiting….. Well, I did finish a quilt. Have to take some glamour shots and then I will post. But once I was finished with that, I looked around for some more projects to finish. Went to my second Moda Blockheads 3 quilt. I … ….oh there’s more
I had planned on posting a recent sewing project today but that fell through for various reasons. Mostly because the link to the free pattern I was using is no longer available. Scheesch. This seems to be happening to me on a regular basis! While I consider how I continue with that particular project, I thought I’d share some pics … ….oh there’s more
I’ve really moved forward on my three unfinished quilts this week. (Also referred to as UFOs–unfinished objects!) The first Moda Blockheads 3 is quilted, the front of the binding is attached. Just doing the hand stitching to finish up! For me, the last step before binding is the label. I usually put the month and year and stitch it into … ….oh there’s more
The mullet toss is over and my life is not quite as frantic. I’ve been getting ready for the festival for weeks. I do the website, social media, and photography. I also do the graphic design for our other events but someone took that over for this one. (Yippee!) There are many other small tasks that I deal with that … ….oh there’s more
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
