Hello Again!
Hello...I know I've been a little absent here...but I've just finished some marathon sewing...9 secret projects since the end of March...with the last one finished at about 2 a.m. this morning. They were all so much fun...but it's a wonderful feeling to be caught up and to get to work on some
A Little Farming
I've really missed working on my Farmer's Wife blocks...so I'm renewing my commitment to work on them each week! Okay...I wrote that on my blog, so I'll be holding myself to it!
This is block #63, Ozark Maple Leaf...I used two different yellows from California Girl.

There are lots of half-square triangles here today...gorgeous ones made with Marmalade!!!
I'm making half-square triangles with two prints and half-square triangles with white...I need to make 448...and just have 144 to go!

Fabric and Books
I've noticed that even the new release of Flea Market Fancy seems to be quickly dwindling...some pieces are already getting hard to find. I figured I'd better get backing for a quilt before my favorite print is hard to find!
When my fabric arrived from here, this very cute hippo
A Quilting Bee!
I am so excited about being able to participate in my very first quilting bee! It's such a wonderful group...I truly feel honored to be able to take part! And we have the absolute cutest button and blog design by Shari! Even though I'm brand-new to this...I got to go first!

Fun Fabrics
Lori said I could share a couple of pictures of one of the quilts I recently made for her...actually, I've made 2 quilts for her in the past couple of weeks. The one pictured above was sort of a joint effort between Lori and I--she did the applique' blocks and all of the cutting for the quilt, and I

Sewing with Strawberry Fields
We just returned home last evening from another weekend in California...this time in San Diego. It's hard to believe I've been to California twice in the last two weeks; it was beautiful there, but it's so good to be home. I cleaned up my sewing room before leaving, so I can't wait
Oh My Stars
During spring break I was able to make a gorgeous quilt using the new Minick & Simpson fabric, Independence Trail. My friend Gail quilted it for me super fast, and I was able to send it off in the mail on Monday.
The quilt was designed by Jocelyn at Fat Quarter Shop and was so much fun to
Wednesday Worktable
I just did the quilting and binding on this fun little quilt yesterday. I'm not sure what to call it...it's bigger than a potholder and a "mug rug" but not really a mini-quillt. Anyway, I sure do love it! Right now it's sitting on my kitchen counter, and I think it's found a home there!
The
Spring Break Sewing
Over spring break I'm happy to have had a lot of sewing time. I worked on a few "secret" projects but also had a chance to work on some works in progress for myself. First, I needed to get caught up on my Blogger's Block of the Month. Allison posted the block for March--a fun churn dash
A Springtime Summer Day
I heart this Summer Day Schnibbles quilt...I almost wish I had made it bigger except that I have the perfect spot for this when it's quilted and bound!
This quilt was made completely from scraps, too. I know it took a little longer for the cutting because of that, but it was so much
Works in Progress
Spring break has been wonderful...beautiful weather and lots of time to sew! I finished two projects early in the week and decided Wednesday was going to be a work in progress day! I'm not quite finished with the binding on the baby quilt I showed a sneek peek of the other day...but

Worktable Wednesday and Elephants
First, the elephants...aren't they so adorable? I love them but just can't figure out what to do with them. There have literally been some elephants in my life lately, too...well...those "big project" kind of elephants, anyway. I'm really looking forward to a relaxing spring break next
Just a Few Things…
Have you seen the new Flea Market Fancy yet? Now that my fat quarter bundle of the re-release of this amazing fabric is here...don't know if I can cut into it...it's so gorgeous! No, really...I think I'm cutting into it very soon. First I'm going to cut a couple 2 1/2''

I've been working on a market quilt for my friend Lori this week (sneak peeks coming soon)...but I do have a few "what I'm working on Wednesday" things to share today! First is this little stack of Denyse Schmidt fabrics that came home with me yesterday...the orange prints are from the newly
More Farmer’s Wife Blocks
I had fun putting together 3 more Farmer's Wife blocks this weekend! I had drafted 6 blocks last week--for me, doing the math ahead of time ensures I'll make at least a few. I hope to make 3 more this week!
First up is block 60, Noon & Light. This was a fun block to
Work-in-Progress and a Distraction…
I've been working on a work-in-progress! I stitched up these California Girl half-square triangles a few weeks ago...
Using a double-layered freezer paper template I've been slowly turning these squares into fun pie shaped pieces! Sorry for the slightly blurry photo above. I trim my
Planning
I'm going to work on my Farmer's Wife blocks Saturday, so I thought a little preparation and planning might be in order today. I'm using all Fig Tree fabrics for this quilt and really want to make sure I have a good mix of the brighter lines and the more "fallish" colors. This morning I went through
Saturday Sewing
My Saturday sewing hours were limited, so I was determined to make the most of the time available. I don't have any deadlines for projects right now, so I was kind of at a loss as to what to sew. Has that ever happened to you--one day you have a "mile-long" list, and then when you have a

Sponsored Giveaway–Superior Threads
I've been using my Superior Masterpiece Bobbins for a few years now. I have to say, this handy donut full of bobbins is one of my favorite quilting notions. I use the threads on these bobbins primarily for applique, but I also use them for stitching bindings. This handy little item has saved
Granny Squares & Blogger’s Block of the Month
I could hardly wait to make another granny square block--I was just going to do a blue/grey combination and at the last minute added in the organge...love this mix of color! I already have a plan for block 4, too!
