I’ve haven;t gotten too much sewing done the past few days, because it has been too hot to have the iron on, so I decided to go outside and plant a few things! I’ve got a couple of pots, and a few garden beds. I still have to mulch so the weeds stay in check, but other than that I’m just loving the plants! I’m kind of thinking about doing a quilt based on a sun flower. With diamonds instead of squares… just a random thought. We’ll see if it ever takes shape!
I got some pretty interesting responses when I put up this mystery item, but the answer was more boring than what most people guessed. It’s just a fabric bowl, but a super cute fabric bowl it is! I’m not going to lie, using an overcast foot makes life so much easier! Here it is! I hope everyone enjoys it!
Here we go! Some debauchery to help you through the week!
I really wish my curves would turn out as nicely as these did! What’s your secret?
AccuQuilt has new Dies this Spring, and they look like so much fun! (You can take a look at them, and buy them, here.)
I was more than happy to participate in their Block Party Blog Hop featuring one of their new dies! 🙂
Everyday, from May 19-30 , a blogger will post and share inspirational projects you can make using the new dies! I will provide the list of the bloggers soon, my “blog hop” day is the 30th. So come check out what I’m going to do! I will show you the beginning stages of what I’m thinking about doing. 🙂
I chose the Flowering Snowball die, a 12″ finished block. I have the drunkards path die and I enjoy sewing curves thanks to AccuQuilt. Those little notches on the curves make it fun to sew curves!
I have had these “Strawberry, Blueberries and Chocolate” fat…

I took a break from my heavy quilting schedule to bring everyone this little fun game! Guess what I’m making! I’ll give you a hint… It’s made with a lot of satin stitches!
Well, I got the first set of pieces ironed and now I am running them through the machine again for the third strip. Hopefully I’ll iron them, and then start cutting the rail fence blocks. Although, I do work today, and my yard needs some work done so I won’t hold my breath! Wish me luck!
I’ve been strip piecing for hours! Okay, maybe one hour, but still! Half way done though with 42 pieced strips, so 84 strips of fabric. Hhopefully tonight I’ll finish it up. The strip piecing that is. I don;t think I’ll start cutting squares for this rail fence quilt yet, but at least I should be able to iron them tonight. One can only hope! First I have to fins=d some new background noise to watch while I sew. I just finished the seasons of Haven on Netflix, and now I need something new! Any suggestions?
I finished the pillow shams! And they look great with my quilt! I just need to finish the matching throw pillows! I’m thinking about making myself another one with this pattern that is a throw size quilt, and some throw pillows so I can have them on the couch in the front room. Also, I’m starting a new quilt for my bed. This one is going to be bright and summery! I’m not sure of the pattern yet, but I did pick out the fabrics! I’m just so excited! So much to do, so little time!
I’m not sure as to a pattern yet, but I picked out the fabric I want for my next quilt! It’s going to be bright and cheery, and I’m going to be so in love with it! This is going to be one hell of a de-stashing project, but I’m ready for it! I mean with these fabrics, it’s hard to not like something made with them. I can’t wait to start the piecing process!
I did it! I finished the Wonky Quilt from Quilt In A Day! I’m so excited. I’m going to hang it up in the shop I work at for a few weeks, and then it is being sent to my friend for her new born son! I went with purple stippling, and then some yellow stippling overlap in the border. I also picked a very folky / country backing for the quilt since they live on a farm! Everything about this is very excited! I just love the way it turned out! I can’t wait to mail it!
