Here's what a couple of hours can do.



It's really fun to just stitch while following your nose.



I also got about an hour of book

Thanks For the Idea

I have a quilt to make, a craft show to prepare for, a book club book to read by Friday, a Fearless Crafter's Workshop to get ready for as well as two upcoming craft workshops to prep.  Perfect time to start a totally unrelated impulse project, wouldn't you say?

 

I just got hit by a strong urge to sew some cool tone on

Halfway and counting down…

I'm calling this the halfway point.  I emptied the shelves and put lots of stuff into bins.  We'll be moving these shelves into the next room and then putting in some way deeper shelves.


Gotta find a sunny spot for my table.  It all looks

The Odds Are In Your Favor!!!

I finished and washed the latest baby quilt.  If I were a different person, I would feel guilty about how much more promptly I dealt with that particular load of laundry compared to my usual laundry response time.  


I think the corners held up well.  I'm as happy with them as I can be.

Draaammmaaa + Give Away the Second!!!!!!!

This give away is closed!  No more entries will be accepted!  

Winner is announced here.


Continuing my draaammmaaa from yesterday.  I cut the seam allowances down as close as I could without panicking.  It always makes me nervous to cut close to a seam.  Sewing the binding went pretty well and I really

We have a winner!

It's yet another Jennifer! (Not me obviously, there are plenty of us around)  Jennifer Gail from the blog Hoodies and Flip Flops.  You should go over there and check out her yo-yos, they're fabulous.

It was so fun to have everyone visit and I've decided to have another give away.  I'll post it here tomorrow.  It's another hand made thing; this one is made out of bark cloth.  (eyebrows waggling).

That just leaves this baby quilt to finish today.  Well, I shouldn't say it like the baby

Celia Birtwell

Iconic British textile designer Celia Birtwell has a new collaboration with Uniqlo, so you can own and wear some of her classic prints at a great value. For the occasion I thought I’d share some of the fabrics available from her website. They are hand-screenprinted onto heavyweight linen (some on cotton).

It’s about time for me to get a copy of “>her book, a retrospective of her work.

Linked

Now that I've successfully made my shirt, I can finally work on that baby quilt.  Don't ask me why one thing was linked to the other,  It just was.


I had a stinker of a time getting a good picture of the stitching, though.  I really like it.  I made vine-y, wavy lines in two different greens.
