and not much else
Well, maybe not, but it sure seems like it. OK, so it's the 24th one, coming up on a quarter milestone, which will get made this week. Not that I think I will end up making 100 over the course of my sewing, but hey, I've already made 24 in 7 months. So that would… Continue reading Cosmetic Case #1,002,939,499
I'm going nowhere. Just happy to be home from our 4 day trip back to the hometown. Isn't this print gorgeous! But I don’t really have any place it would go. So this week, here is where I am going: Cut and sew two window treatments for my Mom’s house. Cut and sew a window… Continue reading It’s Monday, and Where are You Going?

So I put them on and sat at the machine and tried to to work my magic. But… Continue reading Pie Birds gets its Day
I can't believe I am already done with the piecing. After I finished the Rue d'Osage items I had nothing to sew which required leaders/enders. So I just focused on the OYGWE top. In no time I had the borders on and it is now tucked away in the closet waiting for quilting. With the… Continue reading Orange You Green With Envy is a TOP!!!
