Last night I decided to get a start on the Gypsy costume for Georgia. I would really like to have both Georgia and Chloe’s costumes done for their party on Sunday. Knowing the Black Cat costume is pretty easy (just a shirt/ears/tail left) I decided to see how hard the Gypsy costume would be. I …
October is a month of sewing! I have to finish up Emily’s birthday quilt before this weekend when we see her and then I have to get 3 halloween costumes done for my cousins as well as maybe one for myself this year?! So Tuesday night I squared up the quilt and made the binding. …
Wow – 3 nights on aunt mo’s machine and the quilting on Emily’s quilt is completed! That’s crazy! I still have to make the binding and attach it which I will start this weekend and I think I’ll have the quilt done by the time I see Emily on the 18th. The quilting is a …
I finally had a night where I could work on Emily’s quilt and get the top finished up! I got the border on last night, then used a spray baster to put it together. We’ll see how the spray baster works out for such a large quilt but it will make it easier to machine …
It doesn’t look much different at this point but it definitely is! Last night I finished piecing all 56 blocks together so it’s a single quilt top now! Now i just need to cut and add borders, quilt it and bind it – yea “JUST” – oh boy! But I love the colors in this …

I actually started that last night 🙂 I walked around the garden (took 2 seconds) this morning and noticed my pepper is almost ready to pick! It turned orange! Looks like i’ll …
I’ve decided that Tuesday nights will be craft night, which means I’ll do whatever I’m in the mood for but it’s not house work and it’s not work work. So last night I went into my craft room around 7:30 and decided I wanted to go through my old unfinished projects to see what inspired …
This past weekend was the annual Celebrations of Needlework in Nashua. I have been attending for 8 or 9 years now and always have a great time. This year I decided to take some classes as I skipped it last year due to cost and interest. The weekend began on Friday, I took the day …
Celebrations this weekend! And the weekend starts early for me because I’m taking classes at 9 am Fri, Sat and Sunday! In other exciting news, I’m an aunt again, my sister in law had her second very very early this morning! More than a month early than scheduled! I can’t wait to meet the new …
