It feels like both. I’ve been working all week to get patterns uploaded to Payhip. It’s been an ordeal, but I think I’ve done it, correctly, I hope. Yesterday a package arrived from Northcott with fabric for several of the designs that have been in their Look Books. First is Santa’s Tree Farm, see it […]
Another Shop Hop quilt
We used Fly Away for one of our samples last year, also with the state panel. It went over very well, we’ll use it again this year. The quilt measures 54″ x 74″. The pattern shows off both the panel and the border fabric. My cold is now under control, and I feel human again!
A day behind
The cold got the best of me. I went to work yesterday morning. A couple of hours later Linda sent me home. The rest of the day was spent on the couch reading and napping. I feel this . . much better today. So there was no sewing yesterday and there will be no sewing […]
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…
Well, they would if I had bought the right 3M Command strips… This is the front of them. And the backs. I used cotton batting and quilted them with a serpentine stitch in a 1.5″ grid. I like the crinkly look, and I thought I would wash and dry these. They didn’t crinkle as much […]
Today I am determined to sew!
I need to clean off my sewing cabinet and cutting table before I start on the stockings. I’ll have to come up with a pattern. I want a smaller version of the stockings I’ve made through the years. I think I know which fabrics I want to use…time will tell. Goose Chase is my best […]
Day 11
It appears I will have at least two posts today. What I thought I had posted Sunday was only a draft. Yesterday I couldn’t think of anything worth writing about. We have very cold weather, I think it’s about -14…no, wait! It’s now -19. Brrrr!! I finished a project yesterday but forgot to take a […]
No sewing today…
I thought I would get to sew today, but that didn’t happen. We had about 4″ of snow overnight, I shoveled in front of the house when I went out to mail a package. Avon is introducing numerous changes, one of which is the order books will no longer be available. Before I found this […]
It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas!
I managed to get some of the Christmas decorations up. It’s a bit of a challenge to decide where to put what in a new space. I’ll keep adding more as time goes on. I don’t know what we’ll do for a Christmas tree–can’t go out in the woods to cut one down this year… […]
What should I do first today?
I should be baking already. I want to take something for the bake sale at church. I should have baked yesterday. I need to do some house cleaning. I want to put up some Christmas decorations. I hauled up the boxes yesterday. I did get the Christmas throw pillow covers on. I thought I had […]
Today’s plan
I had a nice surprise in my email inbox this morning, an email from Island Batik, with the link to the new fabrics for Fall/Winter 2020. I need to work on new designs and patterns. I haven’t had any new patterns lately. Life got in the way, and there was no time for creativity. I […]
Day 5
I work at the Old Creamery Quilt Shop in Randall. We participate in the Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop every year. In 2020 it runs from July 31 to August 16. The fabric needs to be ordered next week, so I’ve spending time today in EQ7 (Electric Quilt), dropping the fabrics into some of my quilt […]
