December Stitchy Progress

I  completed the January Nine Patch pattern on the 30th. The only finish I could get in by end of month, which is also the end of the year. This pattern is by Lindsay Weight with Primrose Cottage and is part of a 12-month series that I started back in June. I still have several months to go before I…

Scrappy Stamps Quilt

Update: I have now quilted this quilt on Miss Moxie and wanted to add the pics with the finished look. I pieced my backing so I could use the remaining pieces from each mini charm pack and then utilized the wrappers from each pack to make my label so I could remember years from now which fabric col…

Christmas 2024

I don't usually post much about my personal life, but I wanted to say Merry Christmas and share a few pics of my tree and my two favorite puppy dogs.

Strawberry Lemonade Tablemat

I am determined to finish several small projects that I have been putting off for months now. I have had this project for probably a year or longer and never got around to making them. It was an easy project once I got the quilting part done. I would actually like to make more of these. This was ma…

Quilter's Big Tote

The mushroom bloom fabric by Poppie Cotton that I used to make my granddaughters mushroom quilt included a piece of fabric with all types of affirmation words in what looks like a deck of cards. I used it to make the big tote bag with handles that she can use to take stuff to her friends or on car …

A Mini Crossbody Named Dollie

Back in 2018 I bought several patterns to make handbags ranging from crossbody to bucket bags to many more. Needless to say I didn't get very many of them made in the last 6 years.  My youngest granddaughter asked if I knew how to make bags and me being the grandmother I am (who never says no), …

Mushroom Buttons Quilt

This quilt has been a challenge since day one and at times I wasn’t sure if I would finish it. The reason I picked this pattern is because my granddaughter who I was making this for is a fan of mushrooms and when I saw the pattern and the fabric itself, I knew this was the right quilt for her. The p…

Bloomberry Zipper Pouches

When I saw the Bloomberry fabric collection from Minki Kim I fell in love with all of it, but especially the panel with the zipper bags. I have made all 3 of them now, 2 of which were for my granddaughters for Christmas.  I made the Little Friend Zipper Pouch for the youngest granddaughter and the C…

Baking Up Joy Apron and Placemats

I have been a cook and baker for many many years, but can never ever remember owning an apron. I've always wanted one and thought that some were much more adorable than others. When I came across the fabric, Baking Up Joy, and saw that it had a panel with an apron and placemats I knew I had to …
