For Christmas, I finished a quilt for my son. I started it long before, in fact I think I wanted to give it to him for his birthday in July but let it sit due to the heat. Just a simple quilt using a Thomas & Friends panel and stash cotton in solid colors. I … Continue reading Finished Object

Applique
Yesterday, I took an applique workshop at my local sewing studio. I've never done it but have long admired the technique. We told our teacher in advance which project we wanted to do and she had kits made up for us (saves time instead of us picking out fabric and measuring). I chose this one: … Continue reading Applique
Tablet Sleeves
Life has been busy lately. That along with working on bigger projects means no posts lately. I had some time recently and made two more tablet sleeves. The first was for a friend who has a Kindle fire. I used the cute book fabric I had from my stash. I took another bloggers advice for … Continue reading Tablet Sleeves
Tablet Sleeve
Although I own a tablet I love (a Samsung) and use it often to read via Libby (library) and Kindle, I opted to purchase a Kindle Reader on Amazon Prime Day. Mainly because I spend a lot of time in the back yard, on the deck reading while the kids are playing in the blow … Continue reading Tablet Sleeve

New & New To Me
Well, my Brother sewing machine is having a temper tantrum. Unfortunately, one screw on the plate is so stuck that I can't take the plate off to give it a proper cleaning. I did manage (using tweezers) to take out threads that were stuck. The needle started working again, but the machine sucks the fabric … Continue reading New & New To Me
Last Minute
I recently found out that a co-worker of mine became a grandmother! We've been working different shifts so I had no idea this was happening. So, into my stash I went. I found some cute Winnie the Pooh fabric and some pink fat quarters. I decided it was time for me to use a fun … Continue reading Last Minute
WIPS
I really....really want to start making Joji Locatelli's The Easy Bulky One. I purchased the pattern and yarn for this a while ago. However, I am trying to be good and finish some WIPS before I start a new project (or else these WIPS will stay WIPS forever). First up, my Hagrid's Home Blanket. I was … Continue reading WIPS
Silver Linings
I love magazines. Knitting, crochet, sewing, cooking, running and pop culture. I have this grand idea that I will cook recipes, knit items and sew fun things from patterns in the magazines. However, I rarely do it. I tried to change that this week. I chose a simple coaster pattern from Simply Sewing (I love … Continue reading Silver Linings
