The countdown continues for my sister. She is getting closer with everyday to her birthday.I’m excited because I conquered some FEAR yesterday and worked on quilting her final gift. Now it can realistically be completed and delivered on time. You’ll have to wait until mid-September to see the results. This Christmas fabric is from Heather…

Today is the start of the countdown – count UP – to my sister’s 30th birthday. She is a fellow quilter and will be enjoying a little gift each day up to the big day. You can check out her blog and Etsy store. Let the party begin! EnjoySarah Vee

A Christmas post. Well, kind of. I’m starting to get into, use up and play with some Christmas fabrics. Example #1: Seven star blocks to make a Seven Sisters star block. These were pieced by my husband’s grandmother. I have a few more stars and I’ve made one from some of the same diamonds that…

Well, my July stockings are done. One has a tree made of yo yos, and the second is a snowman. These are for the advent quilt BOM by Pat Sloan and Emilie Richards called Season of Grace. Since most of what I’m up to quilting wise is secretive or at a standstill, I thought I…

GQ? Generous Quilter! Clever? Not really:) Here’s the goodies I received from Scott Hansen at Blue Nickel Studios. For being clever, yes! “Yoda speak” actually got me some fabric:)!

I’m busy with school holidays and visiting, but am trying to finish my monthly projects and get a move on some new things.My design wall (sorry, picture taken in the morning so there’s sunlight in the background) has up some stockings for…

Some Lady of the Lake progress! By the end of Monday night I had several more blocks up. Here’s a picture of one of the blocks laid out on my little flannel ‘tray’ (for lack of a better word) I’m trying to make sure I have some blue on every block. So for the ones…

Well, it is Monday, and we’re into the second last week of July! This usually means I go through my list of monthly goals and start pushing myself to get something done! Let’s see what I’ve been up to: I have the backing attached to the Picnic Quilt. It’s a heavier weight ‘cheater’ fabric that…

My sister got me this iron for LAST Christmas!(See that special ‘drip free’ tag?!) The cord zooms in and out too! And it has a handy light that blinks! It shuts itself down if I wander away too long…..And it has a ‘red light’ to tell me if it’s hot or not! It came with…

Okay, now that I’ve got your (non-quilting) attention:)! Today is the day for the BIG parade of first quilts. It’s great to see that so many of the names are recognizable ‘quilt business ‘ names. Enjoy the parade! See how far we’ve all come – and how much we’ve learned along the way. My design…
