I cut out the same night I posted my first star block these three. I have been working on them as able since and I'm excited to show you :) I've been using little scraps from my bin so they are all different and fun. My girls have been asking for place mats so I [...]

I just finished my first block from AmandaJean's star quilt-a-long. So fun! Honestly, I'm sorta glad I only started now - I don't have to wait for next week to start the next! It may seem like I've done nothing more than blog and quilt today but I assure you my family is not malnourished [...]

I did manage to eek out enough time to finish the top I showed you last week! Our weekends tend to be less routine and more fun family time - which in turn equals less sewing time. . . I like it that way. :)Please excuse the bits of mess you see behind it. . [...]

Well being uncertain, and a little bored of my straight line quilting - I took the plunge! I am so glad that I did :)I've been practicing stippling/loop-d-loop quilting, but had yet to put it on a quilt - I was chicken!

I was able to spend a bit of time sewing off and on today - I take what I can get. =) This is the current layout that I have worked out. What do you think? I tried a couple of different ideas, even took pictures for a different perspective, but this was my favorite. [...]

At least that is how it feels! Thanks to all my bloggy friends for your encouragement and support! I wasn't home yesterday so I am a bit behind, in housework and blogland. . . oh well. I just keep going =)I have been able to slowly iron every stitch and then pin them again. My [...]

I have seen a few different diamond patterns around the internet, money being tight - I opted not to buy any. . . now I'm thinking - I'm a fool! I have loved the look of the diamonds and have spent a few hours playing with paper diamonds, a few fabric scraps. I just had [...]

I would sew all day long. =) I have been busy with my family and Ella's Birthday (tomorrow) but I did manage to decide what to do with that set of fat quarters I bought on Friday. I have 12 coordinating prints that I am adding lots of white to, in order to make a [...]
