I left these to the last minute, BUT I sent these pouches to school with the girls today!  It's their last day of school "for the year" as Ella likes to point out. I had the girls help pick out fabrics for their teacher yesterday, and spent the evening paper piecing 6" blocks.  I then [...]
Over the weekend I put a new die to use! Â I've slowly added to my die collection, and most recently ordered the diamond die. Â Looking for a fast finish, and a different way to use the diamonds, I settled on this table runner! For the picture I hung it on the kitchen wall, since table [...]
Here's what I had fun working on over the weekend - Did I mention that fall is nearly over here in the mountains? Â The trees are looking bear, and there is a definite chill in the air; as in I have already scraped my windshield a few times! The fabrics include a wide variety of [...]
I had treated myself to a new die for my Go! cutter about a month ago, but didn't pull it out until this last weekend finally. Â In the midst of making jam, and keeping the laundry moving (mostly) I was inspired to make this little clutch! Â I decided I needed a clutch to go along [...]
After spending time prepping the pieces for my new bag, I couldn't let it sit! Â Over two days I found the time to put it together and completely love it! It's huge - measuring 17" across the bottom. Â My plan with this bag, is to take me through The Sewing Summit weekend, with anything important [...]
This is the big girl pouch made in the same manner, as the bitty pouch Emmalie and I made yesterday. Â I'm participating in the Pretty {Little} Pouch Swap on flickr, and really loving all the pouches that are popping up in the group! Â I made this one with my partner in mind, and I'm really [...]
Over the weekend, I did a little sewing. Â I had wanted to make a better pouch for my new iPad, and I'm pretty happy with this one! I didn't have a pattern, just a few images in my pins on Pinterest that I used for inspiration, so that added a little frustration at a couple [...]
Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you are enjoying the day with family and friends, honoring our heroes who serve! Thanks for your concern for Emmalie, she is on the mend, my only trouble now, is getting her to take it easy, so that her lungs can fully heal!  She's a tough cookie! Yesterday I took a couple [...]
Just barely, but they are done! You know how you think you know how a day will go, then, everything goes differently? That was my day yesterday. Â Joe's truck needed work and he was stranded a half-hour away...off we go...Emmalie came home from school with a worse cough than she went with - thankfully I [...]
Hi friends!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I've been busy with the family, and watching the Super Bowl - Joe grew up in Wisconsin, so the Packer win was very exciting here!  On Friday, I had to sew, I woke up grumpy and knew that if I didn't sew something I wouldn't be happy, [...]
Hi there! Â To round out the dozen Christmas gifts I made this year, are three doll quilts! Â Nieces and my cousin's daughter were the happy recipients. Sophia helped me with the pictures before Christmas - Diamond in a square alternated with squares, in It's a Hoot fabrics, and quilted on a diagonal. This one is [...]
Hi there! Â I have a bunch more table runners to share with you! Â Up first is one I made for my mom. I used Dream On and my Go! Cutter to cut all the HST's. Â They sewed up in a hurry, just what I needed! Â I quilted with straight lines to compliment the geometrics. This [...]
