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

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

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 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
In honor of National Quilting Month I have decided to work on ALL of my unfinished quilts. And not start new ones this month! And I have made so much progress. I have four quilts that are in various degrees of the quilting process. (Plus a FPP piece that I started last month as a wall hanging which I will … ….oh there’s more
