I like all my storage labeled so I can find my “stuff” quickly and easily. Nothing is more frustrating than searching through numerous boxes and baskets for that one certain item that would just finish that project. This post is all about labeling. First up was the new fabric boxes that I made for more bookcase. Back when I originally … ….oh there’s more
Finally, back to Moda BH3. Here’s the last block in this over one year project….. Drumroll…… Block 56–Star Dance by Joanna Figueroa I really really like it. Although it has lots of little pieces, I made it in the 6″ size. ‘Cause that’s the size I needed for the quilt top that I am working on first. Several weeks ago … ….oh there’s more
My goal in my new sewing room is to get as much sewing and craft supplies as possible neatly tucked away. Organized. Labeled. And pretty! So far I’ve slipcovered the sewing chair, updated the cushions, and added some fun design boards. Next project on my list was to update this bookcase with fabric boxes. Meanwhile, I brought a second bookcase … ….oh there’s more
There are SO MANY THINGS I want to make. Instagram is killing me. Such a time suck. I want to make that wallet, that tote, that quilt, that pillow, that dress…… And then my Baby Lock Unity bit the dust two weeks ago. Took it to the local quilt shop for repair and maintenance. I did not panic when they … ….oh there’s more
Anybody else decorate for Galentine’s Day? My turn to hold our outdoor socially-distanced under 10 attendees “tea party”. COSMOS AND COOKIES!
....oh there's moreI had grand plans on this past Sunday to have all of these blocks done plus my first quilt from the blocks all stitched together and maybe even getting the last block done as soon as it came out on Wednesday. But my sewing machine had other plans. It had a minor breakdown. And is now at the local quilt … ….oh there’s more
I just finished the Moda Blockhead 3 blocks on Saturday (still one left that comes out tomorrow) and started back into the refresh for my sewing room on Sunday. Cleaned my sewing machine first. It operates so much better when I keep all that dust and bits of thread out of it! Put it all back together…… And the bobbin … ….oh there’s more
For you today, I have TWO quilty heart blocks! Both finish at 7″. I’ve been planning on making a better tutorial for this heart block since way back when I first put it together in February 2016! And finally, five years later! I did it! You have a couple weeks left before the day of hearts so you could easily … ….oh there’s more
After struggling with the making of the new cushions for my chairs, I thought that I should take on something a little easier. I had this bulletin board that was hidden away in my laundry room for the past several years. It had definitely seen better days but I thought I could spruce it up. Give it some personality. And … ….oh there’s more
On my last quilty post, I said that I was busy working on a different quilt that was my own design. I thought about that statement quite a bit after it was posted. I’ve actually been working on a BLOCK. Not an entire quilt. (Although I hope to turn it into an entire quilt!) And this block is not my … ….oh there’s more
