I’m hoping my July will be as successful at getting my goals met early and having time in case those squirrels catch me again. I am doing another pattern test for a pattern to be in October or possibly November for The Quilt Pattern Magazine. My deadline for this one is month end. It isContinueContinue reading “July OMG”

My first finish for July!
My first finish from my OMG list is done! The quilt top is finished and I’m just heading out to take some photos on this bright, sunny day if the grass is dry enough. It’s so nice and fresh out since it rained torrentially last night. These are sneak peeks of the top. It willContinueContinue reading “My first finish for July!”
July OMG
The month is starting with sunny blue skies and warm winds blowing! It’s a great way to start the month after having a rainy, dreary month in June. For this month I have 3 patterns to test: 2 full size quilts (54″ x 74″ and 88 1/2″ x 88 1/2″) and one runner/placemat set! HowContinueContinue reading “July OMG”

Another Few Days of Stitching Fun
I have been too busy since last week to actually sit down and write a post! Last week saw us in two different cities seeing different doctors on different days. DH is doing good and I get to try 8 weeks of physio before the surgeon will do the surgery on my shoulder. Works outContinueContinue reading “Another Few Days of Stitching Fun”
June OMG
As usual, I didn’t quite make my full list of goals for May. My shoulder was just too uncomfortable to manage any extended periods of time free motion quilting on my domestic machine. Add to that a slight run in between my finger and a moving bobbin shuttle! 🥵 The end result just means IContinueContinue reading “June OMG”
Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?
This morning I got up bright and early hoping to see sunshine or the possibility of blue skies to be able to take pictures of some almost finished or finished projects. It was not to be as the grey skies and many grey clouds showed that today would likely be another wet one. I’m notContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?”
Secret Sewing and Sandwiches
I managed to sandwich my two other fundraising quilts for the golf course. In between getting that done and waiting for my basting spray to dry, I was working with some of the almost 300 hst’s I made yesterday for the secret sewing I am doing. Can you see all of the bonus hst’s IContinueContinue reading “Secret Sewing and Sandwiches”
May OMG Finish
So here it is: the first of my three quilts for the golf course fundraiser. It was too much fun to just walk out my front door and take a picture of the quilt on one of the Course picnic tables. I had no way to hang the quilt so I thought this would workContinueContinue reading “May OMG Finish”
A Mother’s Day Finish
Happy Mother’s Day to you all; be you mother, father, grandmother, aunt, son, daughter or person who has shared special time with a child. The days of the stereotype are fading but to me Mothers Day has always been a day where I try to let my children and grandchildren know how much I loveContinueContinue reading “A Mother’s Day Finish”
May OMG
I can hardly believe that it is May already! I’m also wondering how everyone else did with their OMG. I had planned on getting all 3 quilts done for the fundraiser for the golf course. I did not get even one finished! This is the first of the three and is a completed flimsy. IContinueContinue reading “May OMG”

TheContinueContinue reading “Once Upon A Story”

February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes
It was not a great month for sewing with so many doctor’s appointments and tests for DH and myself both. I was also trying to unpack, sort and set up our cute little apartment.
