Not enough hours in a day? Week?

It seems like either there is nothing to do or way too much to do. The last several weeks I’ve been working on quilts for a family. I now have 2 finished and 4 to go. The rainy weather we are having is good for sewing, but, my bottom is getting flatter and flatter, but

A little of this and that.

This last week has been a bit crazy. But we made it through. Our little Destiny spent Friday night with us and wanted to make something. So never being to young to learn we got fabric and a pattern out and her she is She helped pin it and did the cutting. When it came

Memories new and old

I started on a new Memory Quilt yesterday. This is one made from Denim. The person I am making this for sent a photo of what they liked. I took 2 days to figure out How to achieve this look. It had 9 different sizes to this. I made a few changes and now this

A Quick Trip To The Fabric Shop

Our quick trip to get some organza turned into a day of waiting. I think I will make a bag with handwork in it for these times. Yesterday we started out at 10am and ended up back at home about 2pm. Hubby decided we needed to get the oil changed on the car and stopped

Sturday’s Stash

Saturday I was going thru my scrap stash to give away some and what I wanted to keep. At one point Granddaughter was grabbing and running off with some pieces. After I had divided what I had to seperate I walked into the living room to find someone busy at work. We took the photos,

Fun little things

For the last 2 weeks we have been in a sick house. Granddaughter had a “virus” and tested negative for covid, and then hubby got it. I have been cleaning with bleach, spraying Lysol and running RC essential oil thru the defuser. I decided I needed something Cherry for Easter. I found this pattern and
