Over the past three weeks I finished eight of the blocks from this quilt-a-long. Starting with Block 45 and ending with Block 52. I’m not going into each block because there are a lot of them! And you can grab all of the blocks for Moda Blockheads 3 on the Block Heads 3 Archive. I have to admit that I … ….oh there’s more
Okay. Much to my dismay. I give up. My sewing room is now permanently in my former dining room. It is just not feasible to go up and down those 14 steps 10 times a day. Unfortunately I am moving from a space that was double where I had plenty of space for all my tools and fabric. (sad face) … ….oh there’s more
I was kinda surprised when I went through my blog and counted the quilts that I had completed in 2020. Only FOUR! Happy Little Things Scrappy Times Quilt I Norah Quilt, Scrappy Times 2 Quilt And the last quilt is the Christmas Hexie Quilt. It’s seems like I was cutting up little bits and pieces and stitching them back together … ….oh there’s more
Things I have resolved to do…. Cut back on using SO and BUT in my posts. (Sooooooo, what will I use instead?) Take more photos and post them on my other blog. Just a Slice of Life in Perfect. It is perfect here on the Nature Coast–if you like “nature” and the “coast”. If you like high rises and beaches, … ….oh there’s more
This is it! The last day of the worst year ever. Seriously. I don’t know if it could get any worse. Besides quarantine, isolation, risk of pandemic death, political chaos, and a dearth of paper products, I smashed my knee and was stuck on a walker for three months. At least I never ran out of junk food or fabric! … ….oh there’s more
Today will be a hodge podge of stuff! I’m posting this on both of my blogs, so if you read one, you don’t have to read the other! We have been quite busy working with the Homosassa Civic Club, providing gifts for the kids that might go without. The civic club was able to provide gifts for 59 children this … ….oh there’s more
I started seeing on blogs and Pinterest about using fabric for gift wrap at the beginning of the holiday season. My first thought was, “that’s expensive gift wrap”. Seriously. You can use the funny papers. Kids will not care! But then I started thinking about reducing my stash of holiday fabric that I’ve accumulated over the years and it would … ….oh there’s more
I usually post about my quilt progress on Thursdays but there has been none of that. So instead I thought I’d meander about my new quilt ladder! I have admired quilt ladders for a while. I love having my quilts on display but not really as wall hangings. Right now they are on chairs, the sofa, a trunk. Oh yeah, … ….oh there’s more
Terry and I went to visit daughter Jessica and her husband Andrew for a few weeks. While gone, I didn’t do any blogging. I did do some sewing, though. Jes and Andrew both work from home so she assigned me tasks while she was busy in her office. First was recovering some pillows. I had some help. This is Whiskey. … ….oh there’s more
Let me introduce you to Fannie, Fernie, and Fay. Country Cousins. Finally Finished. (I love me some alliteration!) I bought this pattern from Wee Wonderfuls during the holidays last year. I couldn’t resist that turned up nose and sparkling eyes. It didn’t take long to make the first fox with cotton I had on hand. I had a little trouble … ….oh there’s more
