I have had an idea in my head for months now; of this new bag I wanted to make, but I could never find a fabric that spoke to me, until the day I went into one of our LQS and  saw this pattern. It is not exactly what was suck in my head but so close I bought it! Gee thanks to whoever did the hard work on this pattern you saved me time.                                               Where this

Its very possible she is what messed up the blog! Greetings!  This is my first post of the year thanks to this wonderful thing we call technology. I have been locked out of my blog since shortly after the Fall Quilt Festival, thanks to google and my computer arguing. I have finally cracked through the problem. I hope ....     In  the mean time I have finished up several projects big and small.

This week my challenge was to complete the quilt I was working on and finish my Christmas place mats! I am proud to announce that they are both completed, Plus some!!!!!! I have been rather productive this week, that even includes doing  the house work too. HA HA! We all know how sewing sucks us all in and house work suffers. But not this week, with the exception of the bar where I cut my fabrics

With the turn of the seasons upon us, it was time to pick my pumpkins! At least the Little Jack pumpkins, they took forever to get growing but in the end I was very surprised to see the plants start blooming in September. I got a whole six! I am so happy with them, aren't the cute!!!!!!! They are accompanied by my little pumpkins I made last year.  I hope everyone is enjoying your fall and the

This quilt is a disappearing nine patch. I make my squares a little different then I was taught...As you can see I laid my whole quilt out with only  the 1/4 square not the four already sewn together.. I like the control on the patterning and colors staying separated that I get this way verses the randomly sewing four back together after cutting them apart. I decided to machine quilt this one

This month has been a busy one with summer coming to a head. And  the kids getting ready for school, who knew it took so many little details to get them ready. As soon as I think they have it all we remember something else.  In between all the running of social activities for kids and doctors appointments and house work I managed to find sometime to sew.

If the two block still bother me I will change them some how to please my eye.

I finally had a chance to sort through my Shop Hop stuff. I have 16 of the quilt squares they give out, plus I bought last year shop hop fabric to finish a quilt I bought fabric for last year and a new pattern BQ3. I have to say not a bad hall for a small budget. This is the actual shop hop fabric! It is really nice, I didn't like it at first but when I some of the things that people had done

This is my new summer purse! I was cleaning up a hug mess that had made and found this all cut out and waiting for me to sew. I figure I cut it out two years ago.  So in between the business of life I sewed it up. I love it, it is so bright and cheery on a summer that is taking its own sweet time getting cheery and warm.

This is the quilt back to the quilt I started last year with Old Red Barn quilt along last year. I did manage to complete the top of the quilt , but life got in the way of the back.  In my determination to finish up my UFO's I have been going through the pile and its turn has popped up this last week.  After remeasuring to figure out where I was happy to discover that the quilt back was ready to

In a day and age where most of us dread the mail for fever of another bill to deal with, it is really nice to open the box and find a package! Thanks to Amy for having Spring festival and thanks to Green Fairy Quilts for sponsoring and offering up this lovely prize!

I saw a turtle pin cushion at  LQS  and fell in love with it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a pattern as it was someones creation.  They said that would share the pattern but that never materialized. Bummer, life happens. So after some hunting on the Internet with no luck of anything I liked so, I got out the  pen and paper and started to draw.  Several drawing and a pro-toe type later we

       I know this is not by any means a new pattern, but I just now got around to making mine up!  This is another one of my UFOs.  I have managed to make a microscopic dent in them.        I am very happy with end result of my apron, I can't wait to  use it! I see a clean kitchen tomorrow! There are only two things I would change about this pattern the next time I make it. 1. I would move the

When I heard Amy had organized the Spring Festival, I started thinking of what I had to share. I haven't made any large quilts lately. So I decided to share my machine quilting journey. Hope you enjoy.First I choose a pattern I thought would blow up and sew nicely. In this case I choose a flower out of the fabric print.  I started by photo copying the fabric, then I cut out the flower I wanted to

I have been busy with everything except sewing lately.   Here is a sneak peak at one of my project that has been tying up my time.  This desk  is one that I in herieted from my brother however it didn't look this good! I had to clean it up and sand it down and start over! But I am so happy with the end result. So

I read several articals about free hand machine quilting and decided that it didn't sound too hard.  So off to the store to get some Golden rod paper.  Found a pattern in a book I had sized it with my copier, traced it  and pinned away.  After a few test piece I decided to take the leap. This flower is  the end product. It is the center of the table topper I have been wornking on forever now.

I am finally finding time to post these pictures of my lastest project. Which is almost done now, but I have put it on hold to spend time with our out of town guest.                                   This is a table topper/wall hanging. I designed the pattern myself. I'm  not sure how well you can see the pattern lying there in the photo, but  this is a glimps into how I work.

Does anyone else out there have a huskquvanra Shaphire 850? I am trying to figure out what Im doing wrong with the free motion setting. I have put the check mark in the free motion box, but the dogs dont drop and if you try to put them down they dont stay. It will let you free motion fine and then all of a sudden  the machine will try to take over and then shifts back. I'm bummed out.    If  you

I love this Table runner! I was introduced to the pattern at my mother sewing group, nice ladies.  If you have been following my blog you know that I started it quite at while ago. Life just got in the way. I finally decided to stop the merry go round I call my life and make time to finish this project.  I love how it turned out, I  decided to pick up fabric for making cloth napkins to match.

     This road print material I have had in my stash forever now! I bought it years ago thinking my son would like the roads but knowing he was almost to old. Go figure, he didn't want it.  So I decided to shelf it, with the thought I'd use it as a gift for someone.  Here we are 8 years later and the fabric has been Sewn.  I have a sweet friend that just had baby number three and I decided,

Every daddy needs a floor pillow! My husband asked for one and so it shall be. I was already working on this pillow when he asked for a floor pillow for Christmas.  In fact I sat and sewing it right in front of him, he had no clue.  Christmas when he recieved it he was completely shocked and puzzled by when I had found the time.  After Christmas I did some personalizing to making it firmer, now

However one of the things that went on over the holidays for us was my son had a bedroom build between Halloween and Thanksgiving, moving in the week of Thanksgiving.  In the process I lost what I was using for a sewing desk to my son, since it was his desk. BUMMER!   So with no desk and

Ok, Yes I know everyone makes Resolutions and the bails on them so, I guess I should rightfully call them goals! 1. I have put a moritorium on purchasing more fabric until I sew half of  what I have. With the one exception being I dont have enough to finish things ie.. backing  most likely.  Yes this is lofty, but I have done it before. 2. Finish my quilt along quilt! Yes its not done, I got

These are the only thing I've had time to sew in the entire month  in a half between work and Christmas. They were a gift for my brother so I couldn't  post them until after Chritstmas. I made two the same for his sofa. I made the pattern after we bought the fabric. The trick is finding fabric for men.

Moms pumpkin I have finished, My pumpkins! After becoming frustrated, with not having a fall center piece for my table and not liking what I'd seen in the stores. I was hit by the idea of pumpkins in three sizes.  I scanned the net, there were many cute ideas out there but none were what I was wanting.  So onto my own devices and off to Joannes!

Stocking for  Soldiers serving in Afganastan! This is just a few of what was made by my moms sewing group.  They were kind enough to invite me to join the on there sewing day. I was rather excited by the gesture to join in and make a few stockings. As a group we made twenty and then several ladies were going to make more. If I remember correctly my mom said, her last count was 18! They all go to

I am sewing both sides on at the same time, this will join the two sections and then I have some hand sewing to do.Speaking of hand stitching there is no better  place then the local coffee shop!!!!

The Generations of quiltingThis is a quilt My mother made for my daughter.  My daughter calls it her summer quilt, she has a heavier one for winter. So we have name the pattern "Summer quilt".  My mother sewed this quilt on her Singer Feather Weight, and it is hand quilted. It believe this may be one of the last, she quilts this way due to arthritis and carpel tunnel. We love grandma for her

I thought  I'd take a few minutes to sew today, went into get my sewing machine out of the bedroom where I'd stored it in a hurry the other day to discover it had been barfed on! YUCK!!!!Narrowing down the guilty party is easy now with only one cat. But why!! She didn't get the top or the sewing arm but the part just under neither that's hard to clean!  Silly cat. So now I have a nice clean

This is our three dollar light fixture! It was Gold, and so ugly it stood out like a sore thumb. I spotted one similar in Lowe's and decided it looked good. One thing led to another and I bought Spray paint and this is what we get! So much better it just fits into the room now without making itself the center of attention.

These are the colors I painted, however they refuse to photographic well.  this corner is the best I can get. The lighter color is Apple Cider and the darker color is Antiquarian Brass. They make for a nice warm feeling kitchen without being bright or to yellowy. The wall and kitchen are not as yellow as this photo.  This photo is the new light we hung, and the new blinds I hung. They were a pain

I learned how to make the triangles without cutting each and everyone!  I have also learn that magazine patterns are very confusing in there directions, so don't cut your pattern pieces when you have a headache. I had to go back and cut more of some pieces and not enough of others.  But I am so very happy with how it turned out. I am also very excited about the cutting triangles out of squares.

Rest in peace, We will miss you Nemo, " you were a great cat and family member."  We lost our cat of 8 years.  He was 20 lb, and 11 years old, a lover that was all purr.  You could hold him for hours, he took many secrets to the grave with him he would listen anytime. He was a great cat. We thank God for allowing us the honnor of being his owners.  We miss you Nemo.

This is the new sleeve arm cover I made for the sleeve arm. It just slides right over! Not to bad for made of all scraps, I love scraps. The mystery is why in the world did someone take the other cover off. When we moved in the cover was gone altogether. But this is the best I'm so happy with myself.! How childish am I. As I jump up a down and scream look at what I did like it's a master piece.

I have decided to wait to cut the back it top is complete and I have an exact size.Mean while here is a waky photo of our fat fat cat the we did playing with my photo booth.

Petrified to cut my sashing and backing fabric.!!!!!! This is crazy I have done the math for the last time, is it all drawn out on paper now, I just have to cross my fingers that I cut it correctly. Or I will run out of irreplaceable fabric, which is probably what is getting to me. Wish me luck!!!

Knowing full well this is the world of cyberscape and for any one gift there are many many people in the random number bucket and only one gets the prize. Guess what not one of them was me. Generally not a problem were all adults here. Wrong! I found as the week went on, and I read more

Here is a close up of my work. It's not bad for the first try I'm proud of the end result. I plan to do it on other projects.I'm not sure if I'd do it on a big quilt or not only time will tell.Its finished!This is Molly she is my blanket cat, even before I had the quilt layed flat she was trying to get on it. She is so sweet, I guess the quilt must be good it passes the Molly love test.

My plan for today is to working on binding the Free Motion baby quilt, and start sewing a dress for the princess. However with the weather being reported to be at least 80, I may find myself outside longer than planned. There is so much yard work to be done in this place.

This is a baby quilt top that I made from scraps forever ago. When I got the idea to try learning to free motion quilt I decided it would be a great first project and not to costly if I boched it.
