Hard at work, or, hardly working?

By: | Comments: No Comments

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 […]

Day 4

Yikes! This will be a short post, it’s almost time to leave for work, and I may not remember after work… Yesterday I received a purchase order for Woven Ribbons and County Roads. I printed them last night, and finished up the order this morning. The sun is shining brightly, I’m not sure of the […]

Day 3 – 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

By: | Comments: No Comments

Good Morning! I managed to clean up the miscellaneous “things” on the floor. Mostly I put them into a box to be sorted through later. Too much at one time is overwhelming. I also worked on a customer quilt. A gentleman came into the quilt store about 2 months ago, wanting a queen size quilt […]

Day 2 – 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

By: | Comments: No Comments

I feel like all I’ve accomplished today is …nothing. I’ve gone to the Post Office, the bank, the grocery store; dropped off new Avon brochures; called on Avon customers; 2 loads of laundry are waiting to be put away. But none of that is sewing, so it feels like I’ve done nothing. Before I can […]

I need an incentive…

I saw this on a quilt designers group, and decided to take the challenge by Cheryl Sleboda of Muppin.com. I know that I should be posting more often, but I don’t know what to write about, I don’t have time, whine, whine, whine. Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction. I’ve been […]

About 6 weeks ago a lady emailed me, saying she was having trouble finding a kit with the Timeless Treasures Northern Lights fabric. I gave her the name of shop I had recently shipped patterns to. The kits the shop was selling was the smallest size, but she said she wanted the larger size. She […]

My Happy Halloween

I didn’t do any tricks, but I sure got a treat!!! My husband had a dental appointment in the 50 miles away town which also has the only Husqvarna dealer anywheres near me. We were early, and had time to kill. My Sapphire 850 is almost 12 years old, and is beginning to show its […]

Crisscross Stars

By: | Comments: No Comments

Crisscross Stars is a four block tablerunner. The star blocks form an “X” when they are placed next to each other. The “X” is more obvious than the stars. I decided to play around a little in EQ7 and came up with a square version. (The EQ image looks more true-to-life than the photograph of […]

In the chart on page 4, Step 4n, the second line should read              small top/bottom instead of              sides top/bottom I apologize for any confusion.

Goose Chase – Cotton Blossom

By: | Comments: No Comments

Last fall I submitted a design proposal to Timeless Treasures, and it was accepted. These are the fabrics I received. The fabric is Cotton Blossom. There was a light blue fabric missing from the original shipment. The design I submitted was for a 6″ mitered border. When I saw the border print, I was wishing […]
