Aftermath

We had some bad storms pass few a week or two ago, and I think this tree must be one of the victims. 

I actually first spotted this tree when I was out last night, but of course I didn’t have my camera with me.  So I went out this afternoon to get a few shots.  [...]

The Big Apple

Okay ladies and gents, I’m really begging for your help on this one.  My Beloved Husband and I are planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York City this December.  I know there’s enough stuff to do and see in NYC to fill about 4 years, but we can only be there about 4 days, so [...]

Binding Woes

I hate binding, I really do.  I like that it’s the last step, and so as you bind, you really see your project come together.  I just hate the process of binding.  It’s so boring for me.  More specifically, I hate whip-stitching the binding to the back of the quilt.  And I’m really slow at [...]

I Made a Button!

        
Actually, I made 2.  I kinda figured it out!  It’s probably not the proper way to make one, but it is what it is.  It’s pretty plain, but it links to the right posting and everything…I think.  Try it and see.  If you’re in this swap, feel free to use either, if you want.

Melly Would be Proud

I’m gettin’ there on the Civil War blocks. 

I’ve got all the squares cut, and 62 of the 9 patch done, just 58 left to go.  For the first 20-something 9 patch I made, I was just using scraps I already had around, so there was a lot of cutting little squares.  But once I received [...]

I’ve Got Curves

When I got Aimee’s block for the Around the World Quilting Bee, I was inspired to try some curved piecing for the first time.  She suggested this tutorial at The Sometimes Crafter, and it was fun.  I never thought I’d say that about curved piecing, but it was fun to try something new.  I did [...]

From a Sweet Friend

I received a very sweet blog award from Indigo Blue this week.  It’s the Top 10 Fav’s award, and has such a pretty button with it.

Isn’t that such a nice award?  I’m so honored to receive it.  Indigo Blue is one of the first people I ‘met’ when I started blogging, and she’s been a [...]

I love Michael Miller

I got these 2 prints the same time I got all the other fabric I ordered, but I thought they were so cute they deserved their own posting.

I didn’t know I loved Michael Miller so much until recently.  But I do really love him.
