Well, actually, I will be making more Firefly Totes from Noodlehead and will most likely be posting them here, but no longer will the posts for four weeks be exclusively dedicated to the Firefly! I plan on making these for Christmas gifts. Maybe even hostess gifts. We will see. It was fun to make and I think it turned out … ….oh there’s more
It’s the middle of July and it’s time for Christmas in July! That’s what numerous instagram accounts and blogs are posting. And I have to admit, I do start making plans for quilts and gifts in July. Cause they take a long time. But this year I haven’t even started considering it. Yikes! I’m still wanting to make a patriotic … ….oh there’s more
I’ve been on vacation. For several days. Went to Garrison, North Dakota and spent some time with the grandkids. Had a great time but we’re happy to be home. Miss Kitty is happy that we are home, too. Last Tuesday, I had a post all ready to go about the 3rd week’s video for the Firefly Tote SAL from Noodlehead.com. … ….oh there’s more
It’s Shark Week! Responsible for terrifying both small children and full-grown adults. Many of which never enter the salty waters again. Sunday, July 11 through Sunday, July 18. And it’s a good excuse to repost my Shark Softie Tutorial. Here’s the PDF for the tutorial: Softie Shark Tutorial and this is the PDF for the pattern: Shark Pattern. Not too late to whip … ….oh there’s more

Again, the video in the second newsletter is … ….oh there’s more
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.

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
