Summer fun

I know, I know, I’ve been a very bad blogger lately.  Summer seems to always pull me away from my blog, but I have been busy sewing and re-reading the “Outlander” series.  Not a small task, since there are seven 800 page books.

I’ve made a lot of Bee blocks:

Wonky Stars made [...]

Friday Update

I’ve been working on a little of this and a little of that lately:

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my birthday and my hubby gave me an AWESOME gift!

Can We Start Again, Please?

Remember my 3/4″ Hexagons that I started WAY back in October right after Liam was born?  I am giving up on them.  They are just too dang tiny and I feel like they don’t show enough of each print, especially when I am trying to fussy cut an image.  Hexagon’s have [...]

It’s time again for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival!

Blogger’s Quilt Festival!

It’s time to get ready for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival!  Last Fall there were well over 600 entries and I am guessing this festival will outdo the last.  Amy has found all sorts of sponsors, so there will be various giveaways, but the best part is seeing [...]

Petaluma Antique Faire

On Sunday, my husband, Liam and I went the Petaluma Antique Faire.  It was in the historic downtown district on the main street and the day was beautiful (which is saying something, because it seems to rain here all the time).

I took all these photos with my iPhone, so if they [...]

Crazy Nine-Patch Quilt

My crazy nine patch quilt is finally done!  I followed this tutorial from Oh Fransson!  Not sure if I am lovin’ it anymore.  I tried to do something different with the quilting and I think this was the first time I ever took a quilt out of the dryer [...]

An Ebay for Goodwill??!!!

Um, have I been hiding under a rock since 1999?  I had zero clue that Shopgoodwill existed and I am amazed and giddy!

I even checked, and this site actually IS set up by Goodwill, so all proceeds go to their organization.  This is fantastic, because I feel like Ebay has become [...]
