Rain, rain, and more Rain

I love the sound of rain hitting the windows.  You know that nice steady light tapping on the window.  The last few days have been cleaning days and not too much sewing. Today will bring morning sewing and then a day with granddaughter.  On May 6th I am going to do a 5K. I am looking

Wacky Wednesday

I have been working on a challenge from a facebook group Friends of Farmhouse Quilts.  Yes this is from the one and only Farmhouse Quilts.  It was fun once I got started.  I put it off because I couldn’t think of a way to put my spin on it till I was actually running out

Too much fun for a Monday

While scrolling thru facebook and visiting with this friend and that friend, I got a message from our group from “Friends of Farmhouse Quilts”.  One of the ladies, Viviane Covo, posted this. If the model interests you : DIY Accordion Pouch | with Jennifer Bosworth of Shabby Fabrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PD7CiM1tO4  I decided to try and make this.

Super Sunday

Got so much done today.  It was great.  Started cleaning my sewing room and found some pieces that I put back for a while and then forgot where I put them.  I am also playing with the Stack and Wack quilt.  Once I got the hang of it, I was hooked.  I then did some

What to make now…..

Today I have all day to spend in my sewing room, have loads of fabric, and brain can’t decide.  I guess I will pull out some fabric and see what I come up with.  I have an idea now it is just seeing how I can get it into fabric.  Time will only tell. How

Monday after Easter

What a wonder Easter we had.  I hope everyone else had a wonderful Sunday.  Our day started out about 6 am finishing up things that needed to be ready.  Easter Bunny hid eggs for our 2 yr. old Granddaughter.  It was so wonderful watching her trying to find all the eggs and the pure excitement

Happy Easter

I am making art portfolio bags for a friend of mine to take to an art retreat in June.  She said she has had lots of request for the ones I made her. So Easter dinner is ready to heat and serve tomorrow and I am spending the day sewing. Finished my Easter Fold’n Stitch

Spring has sprung

Been out working in the yard yesterday.  I even got the grand daughter out helping.  We are taking an area that had a rock path that went out of control.  We were pirates digging for treasures. Yes even  a hard working Pirate needs a cold Sonic from time to time.  We moved from here to

In Awe

Last night I went to quilt guild and was so in awe of our speaker, Irene Bartos, from Iowa.  The wall hangings and quilts she showed and talked about were wonderful.  She did some raw edge applique.  The subject of her pieces looked almost 3D.  Here are a few of the pictures I took last

Beautiful Sunday.

Sitting at my sewing table, I have several things in the head to make.  I need to make a list and notes to get things straight and decide on what to do next.  How do you handle all those ideas in you have and keep working on one thing to be able to accomplish something?
