Another 3 yard quilt is done! This quilt is different in that I started with Fabric Cafe’s “Dancing Geese” pattern but ended up with a completely different design. Wait, what?! Allow me to explain. After creating my half square triangles I played with the layout. This is what the Dancing Geese pattern is supposed to look like: And these are […]
Hi folks! It’s been a long time. Long story short: We went on summer vacation to Ireland and caught COVID. Lesson Learned: COVID doesn’t care where you are…it’ll find you. (We’re better now.) Bah! But we did have a fun couple of days before we realized something wasn’t right. Like seeing this Downpatrick Head. And climb the Croagh Patrick- Ireland’s […]
Hello! I’m currently on summer travels, taking a break from blogging. Some quick snapshots over on my Instagram though- @rosiesewstoo Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. 🙂
Last month it occurred to me that Pia might be tired of standing in the corner. I purchased a bed so she can lay down and close her eyes for awhile. After researching, I found the Ikea Duktig doll bed. It’s a pretty good value, nicer than some other doll beds I had seen and is a lot wider so […]
The Nine Patch pattern comes from Fabric Cafe’s book “3 Yard Quilt Favorites” by Donna Robertson. I am loving these books. LOVING. Their concept is to have one focus fabric, one light colored fabric and one dark. That’s it! The instructions are so easy to understand and they also give you instructions on how to enlarge the quilt to twin, […]
Since the weather has been so spectacular, I’ve been trying to take advantage and spend more time outdoors before it gets uncomfortably hot. It is no secret that I love fashion, clothing and antiques, so I am sharing some things I found inspirational over the past week. Over the weekend we spent the day in Washington, D.C. I feel very […]
Every now and then I will stumble upon fabric that instantly “talks” to me. Last week this happened at Joann’s with this Disney The Little Mermaid print. As soon as my eyes saw it amongst the rest of the Disney prints, I “saw” the completed dress in my mind with ruffles and contrasting lavender details. I purchased it on impulse […]
My Tea Time quilt I started last fall is officially out of UFO status! This post is well overdue. Due to the holiday hustle bustle it fell into the “unfinished object” world. Here we are 6 months later revisiting this colorful creation. There are so many great things about this quilt. The main one is that it’s a free pattern […]
“Hello Quilting my old friend…I’ve come to sew with you again…” (Sung to the tune of “Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel) I know, so cheesy, lol. Taking a break from garment sewing and back in the Quilting World. My latest project is the Nine Patch quilt from Fabric Cafe’s book “3 Yard Favorites” 2nd Edition. I really like […]
Well I’m getting back into the swing of things which is a good sign. I am staying positive. I can’t allow myself to stay in a long term grief state. There is just so much more life to live! Pia’s been lifting my spirits. What is it about this doll?! She makes me smile. Every time I look up and […]
