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
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
Last week I made a recycled denim shopping tote for my son-in-law Andrew. This week I crafted a Beer Bag for my very good friend Rosey. You can see my original post about making beer bags here. Or just click here to download the free tutorial. Rosey’s going through a difficult time and a couple of our friends decided to … ….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
