April 1st

Happy April!
Hope everyone enjoyed Easter.  I had some days off last week and spent them with my son.  It was a lot of fun.  I went to this newer quilt store called The Sewcial Lounge.  It was the owners birthday so she offered 30% off. :)  I was able to get 1/2 yard of Liberty fabric and a fat quarter bundle of Color Me Retro!  Can't wait to use it.  I'm going to work on cutting out some fabric this week so I can do some sewing this weekend. :)  I will post pictures of what I am working on.  Nothing new-still trying to finish some things.  Had a binding lesson this weekend and had a blast with a new friend.
Have a blessed week!

Is it March already?

For that one person that reads this blog.  Sorry I have been away so long.  I must say that I have not finished any quilt tops but I am almost to a finish on a few.  I have a new goal that I am working on and I am actually getting those things done.  I must complete some things before I start anything new.  I have 10 tablerunners that were quilted by my dear friend Charisma over two years ago.  I am in the process of binding them.  I have completed two so far. :)  I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to the binding.  I have watched many tutorials on it and just can't find what I need.  I get the whole sewing to the front part, it's the hand sewing to the back that is troubling me.  I have even been so frustrated that I have done the machine binding just to finish something.  I hope this process of finishing projects helps me to learn to enjoy the binding part. 
I have a few things that I really want to start so I am really working towards finishing.  I am even designing my own quilt pattern. :)  Pipe dream but one I know I will accomplish one day.
Thanks for reading

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I have found my sewing groove again and I am busy piecing quilts.  I am currently working on a Yellow Brick Road pattern quilt using Christmas fabric.  It is so nice to use up my fabric.  My next project is the Scrappy Trip Around the World that everyone is doing.  Another great way to use up my stash.  I have a few things that need binding and will post pictures of those soon.

Take Care
Many Blessings

Me at the craft show-Nov 10

Here I am at the craft show.  I did sell out of my aprons. :)  It was a great experience.  I want to thank my sister for helping me set up and for all the support.  And thank you to Marilyn for agreeing to do this with me.  It was a wonderful day.

My goal is to post pictures this month!

Thank you for being patient with me.  I will be posting photos here this month.  My craft show went well.  I sold out of my aprons. :)  I am not sure if I will do another one.  I may just set up an Etsy store. 
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Where did this month go?

Here it is the end of October.  Where did the time go?  My son passed his temps test and is learning how to drive.  Scary, I know!  He is doing really well though.  I am finishing up with some last minute items for my craft show.  I will have a table at the show in Verona WI on Saturday November 10 at the Badge Ridge Middle School.  I am super excited.  My sister helped me get some items together to make a nice table display.  I will post pictures from the sale after next weekend.  Wish me luck!

October?

Hello
It's already October?  Where does the time go?  My mom had a knee replaced and I have been running for them.  Not much going on in sewing land.  I do have a craft show (my first) coming up November 10.  I did get 16 ribbon blankets pinned and ready for sewing last night.  Have to visit Mom tonight and work until 8pm tomorrow night.  Hope to do some sewing on Sunday.  I promise to post some picture soon!

Blessings
