DC Quilt – Block 1
I finished the first block of my Vacation Quilt. I wanted the center block to be an outline of the US with the date and location of the vacation enbroidered on. I designed the block myself. I don’t have the outline in digital form yet; I will try to do that this week. When it [...]
Cutting Table (I mean coffee table)
Does your coffee table do this?
About a year ago we bought a new living room set. It is all oversized and too big for a normal size living room. It was on special at Rooms to Go and we had to take all the pieces to get the deal. This means we ended [...]
One Sock Down – One to Go!!!
I finsihed my first sock – Yeah!!!!
It really wasn’t that hard. If you have been thinking about trying it – I say go for it. I was listening to a Knit Picks podcast that encouraged me to try it. The speaker was talking about new knitters and the projects we choose. Scarfs can be the [...]
Episode 35 ~ Bit of This, Bit of That
No topic this week, just a bunch of crafting tidbits I picked up this week.
Tiffany not only shared her paper pieced quilt with us but a site to get gourmet coffee. Check out Quilter’s Coffee.

Applique Prep Work Done

Keep in mind that I had not done too [...]
Yoo Hoo on my Blocks
Tonight my husband spilled YooHoo on my Frolic blocks.
I had them sitting on my table, waiting to be sewn together once my machine is working again. He has a really bad habit of using my sewing table as a rest for his drinks.
Luckily, it is all washable and I intended on it to be washed. [...]

Machine Broken ~ AGAIN!
Tonight, I was planning on working on some sample for my podcast tomorrow. But, I wanted to finished stitching my Frolic quilt together first. In the middle of my first seam – CLUNK! The machine jammed up and stopped.
No – I did not run over a needle; I was actually stopping and taking them out.
Yes [...]
