My October DrEAMI

This month was a fun month with lots of pattern testing and a blog Hop to participate in. One of the projects I was making for the From The Heart Blog Hop is a stack of scrappy, snappy bags that are being donated to our local Food Bank for their Christmas Hampers. In normal yearsContinueContinue reading “My October DrEAMI”

Sunday Sewing

It was Canada Day on Wednesday. When Canada first became a country the day was called Dominion Day. I’m not quite sure when the name got changed. Most celebrations were cancelled because of the pandemic. Fireworks were set off in so many cities, concerts were streamed and people mostly were safe distancing when they didContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sewing”

Another DrEAMI Project

I saw a post on Desert Sky Quilting that had me intrigued with the thought of doing another fun scrappy project. You know what it’s like when the squirrels start doing their dance around you and won’t let up until you drop everything and make it? That’s what happened to me – the attack ofContinueContinue reading “Another DrEAMI Project”

My Days Filled With Joy Mystery QAL Fun

A few days or a week or so ago Susan from Desert Sky Quilts posted about a scrappy quilt along that Joy from Days Filled With Joy was hosting. I decided it might be fun so I got started on it after pulling out my scraps. I quickly got caught up with steps 1 -ContinueContinue reading “My Days Filled With Joy Mystery QAL Fun”

Tuesday Fun

Another day of sunshine is what I thought when I got up this morning. I managed to get laundry and housework done early so I managed some time with my fabric and my little Janome that I use for classes. My Pfaff is down again so needs to go to the hospital again. I didContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Fun”

To Do Tuesday #15

This last week was a good one with some progress on my goals, getting caught up on some quilt alongs, my first ever Zoom Meeting with some amazing quilty friends, and started a new secret sewing project. 1. Sew the second bean bag chair. Just need to put the zipper in. 2. Work on quiltingContinueContinue reading “To Do Tuesday #15”

Saturday Goings On

This morning Saw a cloudy overcast sky so I thought it would be a good day to sew. Little did I know the clouds cleared off about 9:00 and DH decided to go whack a few balls. That meant I could move things around and get my sewing space in order. I moved my sewingContinueContinue reading “Saturday Goings On”

My Day on It’s Cool to be Square Blog Hop

When I saw the announcement for this Blog Hop I knew I wanted to participate and even what I was going to make. It was predetermined! Right? Wrong! I had my fabrics pulled and pattern printed. Then I’m not sure if it was Covid Brain or the squirrels visiting me again but things changed. 🥴ContinueContinue reading “My Day on It’s Cool to be Square Blog Hop”

April Stash and Time Reports

This month started slow. I’ve been spending plenty of time in my sewing space but don’t have a lot to show for it. I do however have a tidy space and I’m having some success at getting my scrap bin emptied. There is my Robbie Robotix finished, two more sandwiched and one under the needleContinueContinue reading “April Stash and Time Reports”

Sunday Sewing

I woke up this morning to one of the nicest days we have had this month. The sunshine just made my day brighter and seemed to pick up my spirits. I had fun working on my Ruby’s bean bag chair. It just needs the zipper sewn in which is basted. Then I managed to getContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sewing”

One Month of Self Isolating

Can you believe it’s been just over a month? Are you losing days and having to check your phone to see what day it really is? That’s me these days! 🤔 I had my goals for the week and fabrics pulled for the upcoming blog hop projects. And then………🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿. Visitors arrived and my mind wentContinueContinue reading “One Month of Self Isolating”

March OMG and my Favourite Finish

My list for March was a very moderate one for me. I had some success and finishes, work on some and no progress on others due to the world crisis causing some adjustments having to be made to our lives. DH and I are self isolated because we are in the high risk category. ItContinueContinue reading “March OMG and my Favourite Finish”

March 22-28 Progress Report

It’s been a week! The emotions are erratic and I have been unsettled and disorganized. I’m sure you all can identify with these feelings. I’m telling myself it is a form of cabin fever. My list for my hoped for progress is: 1. Finish the binding on Star Crossed Plaid. On the last side. 2.ContinueContinue reading “March 22-28 Progress Report”

March 15-21 Progress Report

It’s been quite a week of fabric fun. I’ve decided that keeping busy while DH shifts back and forth between Canadian news and American news for 6 – 10 hours a day will make me crazy if I don’t find ways to tune it out. My first finish was piecing the flimsy for my projectContinueContinue reading “March 15-21 Progress Report”

My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens

How are you all doing? I trust you are being socially responsible and isolating yourself in your sewing rooms? It sure feels like that’s all I have been doing besides normal housework and chores. I have found I’ve been spending more time on line than I usually do, but who can resist seeing what everyoneContinueContinue reading “My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens”

Project Quilting 11.4 Birds in the Air

The new challenge was posted on Sunday and somehow I missed it. Luckily another blogger mentioned it in one of her posts. The challenge was to use the Birds in The Air block in either it’s original format or revising it. I remembered I had some leftover 4 patches and bonus hst’s from a quiltContinueContinue reading “Project Quilting 11.4 Birds in the Air”
