Saturday is Moda Fabric’s “Sew a Jelly Roll” day as part of September being “National Sewing Month”. And I would really like to do just that and start a Sunny Day Supply quilt. But not doing it, nor am I stitching up an Autumn quilt, or a quilt with Mod cats, or my annual Christmas quilt. But NO, I have … ….oh there’s more
I should have called this post, Pencil Pouch Mistakes. I made SO MANY on this pouch. And it isn’t a difficult project. It all started out because I was organizing. Three sewing machines in my limited sewing/quilting/crafting space are two too many. So I had to move stuff around. And I emptied all the drawers in my Ikea cabinets. One … ….oh there’s more
OMG. Yesterday was Labor Day 2021. No more wearing white pants! (Not that they all all that flattering!) And we actually had a whiff of cool air over the weekend. Even went to a local outdoor bar to hear one of our favorite bands Sunday afternoon for about an hour and didn’t melt. And even better than great weather, these … ….oh there’s more
Yippee! I am so happy it is done. And I love it! Gotta say, it’s queen sized and very difficult to photograph. Especially when Miss Kitty follows me everywhere I go and loves nothing better than photo bombing my snaps! I had planned on taking it out in the community yesterday to get some pictures in the beautiful Florida natural … ….oh there’s more
I did not plant any of these flowers. I actually planted parsley and basil in this spot. Obviously the wrong seeds were in those packets. JK. Zinnias, cosmos, and vinca reseed like weeds here. I don’t have much luck with parsley and basil. I actually pulled those zinnias that are laying across the path. Terry said one of us was … ….oh there’s more
Waaaaaay baaaack in February of 2020 I started the Moda Block Heads 3 quilt-a-long. (The world was a lot different back then) I made every block but didn’t use them all in the two quilts I made. There were 5 applique blocks that I did not put into either. No reason. Really. Other than I just didn’t think that they … ….oh there’s more
Okay peeps. This post is full of meanderings. Quilty and otherwise. We’ve had a lot of rain. Thunderstorms. Power outages. But that’s Florida. It’s freaking hot now. Do not move here. Just saying. Peeps. I know you want to. But there’s a lot of rain, hurricanes, power outages, and CRAZY people. I moved here in 1982. AND CAN NOT LEAVE. … ….oh there’s more
I finished the “Baby Rock Star” quilt! Mama-to-be and Daddy-to-be didn’t want to know the gender for baby-to-be. So I went with lots of bright colors to keep it okay for a boy or girl. Coulda shoulda just used all the happy bright colorful fat quarters that I already have but……it was Prime Days back in June and I ordered … ….oh there’s more
Sunday started out rainy. And it continued. Giving me plenty of time to work on a design for a new bag. I wanted the bottom to be waterproof so I used the vinyl sheets from Pellon that you just iron on. All was going well until I was doing some pressing. I was being very very careful. But I needed … ….oh there’s more
I thought I would be posting about my latest quilty finish today, Baby Rock Star 2. Here’s what it looked like at the end of last week. I had it all stitched together and basted. I quilted diagonally across all of the stars plus stitched in the ditch horizontally and vertically on the top and bottoms of the rows of … ….oh there’s more
