My sewing machine has been humming along this week…….here are a few things, I’ve whipped up this week.
One new dog bed cover from left over home decorator material. I swear the old cover could have stood up and walked away on it’s own (there was no way I was putting it in my washing machine). [...]

Block Party-number 5
Mint Choco Block-#5 of 12
Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along 2010 —almost at the halfway point
Block designed by the talented Emily Herrick of Crazy Old Ladies (I just love her company name)
Le Lapin is fini!
Yeah. I completed another project. Woot, it feels good.
This cute little appliqued wall hanging will go right above my sewing machine. I am so in love with this Rouenneries fabric by the French General for Moda.
I’m creating a red French country theme in my sewing studio and am just tickled with how it turned out [...]
Yummy Chocolate Snap Happy Bag
I purchased this pattern, Snap Happy by the Stitchin’ Sisters, last year at a local quilt shop , Quilt Among Friends. This pattern is for bags that snap open and shut with metal measuring tape (very clever…wonder how they thought that up!).
I used fat quarters to make two small bags ( 5 x 4 [...]
Super Quick Braided Headband
My hair is getting past my shoulders and I’m tired of wearing a pony tail all the time (plus it gives me a headache!). Sharrie of Needles Zing told me about a super quick (5 minute) braided headband tutorial she saw on Lu Bird Baby. They are just as comfy as they look and really [...]
I Heart Bunnies

When I started sketching, [...]

I feel like I just whipped up a bit of spring with my favorite girl, Miss P (my Pfaff [...]
More Fabric Flower Embellishments
I’m a huge fan of the sewing magazine, Threads, and I think flower embellishments are definitely a trend right now. Just a few days ago, I posted about flower/rose fabric embellishments (necklace or pin) here. Now, you have to check out this circular ribbon flower tutorial by Kenneth King. The tutorial is really easy to [...]
Jelly Roll Rag Quilt
I fell in love with the chocolate brown and pastel colors used in the Sultry fabric collection designed by Basic Grey for Moda. I have been hoarding this fabric for quite a while. Why? Because it was just too pretty to cut into it. Sad I know!!
I purchased not one but two jelly rolls because [...]
Scrappy Quilt
I recently challenged myself to make a quilt from my scraps and not buy any fabric (except for the backing). I was inspired by the colorful elephants of the Laurel Burch fabric that I’ve been hoarding for several years now because I just couldn’t bear to cut it up!!! My batik stash was perfect for [...]
