Hello, and Happy Tuesday friends! We had a really busy week here with Josh's graduation and Callie leaving for the summer. I didn't have much time to do any sewing until the weekend arrived. I would have skipped it except I had to get the next part of the quilting series recorded, so I managed… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 5-29-18 | Secret Sewing & The Four Patch

To-Do Tuesday 2-20-18 | A Quilt Finish!
Hello, and Happy Tuesday friends! I am so excited to tell you I actually have a quilt finish this week! I originally intended to work on an old UFO, my Kate Spain Paradiso quilt top, but I didn't have a backing fabric I liked well enough for that quilt. I found some wide-back fabric I… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 2-20-18 | A Quilt Finish!
Finished Friday | Stepping Into Tranquility
Two weeks ago I posted my first of two quilt finishes for the Stepping Stones Quilt Along that Jennifer Fulton, The Inquiring Quilter, hosted. This week is all about my second quilt finish from that quilt along. The previous quilt was for one of my best friends, Ana. This quilt is for her mom, Cristal.… Continue reading Finished Friday | Stepping Into Tranquility
To-Do Tuesday 5-17-16 | Summer Schedule
I completed the final sewing item on my list last night when I finished sewing the binding to the back of my batik Stepping Stones quilt. I will write more about that quilt in a Finished Friday post that will go up this week. Thank you to everyone who responded about guest hosting To-Do Tuesday… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 5-17-16 | Summer Schedule
Finished Friday | Heartfelt
When Jennifer Fulton, The Inquiring Quilter, said she was going to be doing a Quilt Along with her Stepping Stones pattern back in February, I said COUNT.ME.IN. I had a friend's birthday coming up and I wanted to make a quilt for her, so the timing couldn't have been better. (I actually made two quilts… Continue reading Finished Friday | Heartfelt
To-Do Tuesday 5-10-16 | Wrapping Things Up
I am finally approaching the light at the end of the tunnel with my projects. I finished the Pink Stepping Stones quilt on Thursday night. Just in time to take pictures on Friday morning and give it to my friend as a present on Friday evening. Whew! I'll write all about it in a Finished… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 5-10-16 | Wrapping Things Up
To Do Tuesday 5-3-16 | Shifting Into Overdrive
After feeling like I was getting so far behind on my projects, I seemed to have kicked into high gear this past week. By Friday afternoon I still had not received my replacement grommet die, so I ran to Harbor Freight and bought some cheap grommet setting pliers. It worked fine setting grommets into the… Continue reading To Do Tuesday 5-3-16 | Shifting Into Overdrive
To-Do Tuesday 4-19-16 | Plodding Along
I had high hopes for better progress this week. But, as we all know, life happens and I didn't get as much done as expected. On Monday I finished sewing and pressing the blocks for the pink Stepping Stones quilt. I have to trim them up by tomorrow to finish by the weekly QAL deadline.… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 4-19-16 | Plodding Along
To-Do Tuesday 4-12-16 | Quilt Blocks & Tudor Bag
The Mister was gone for most of last week and I was not anywhere near as productive as I hoped I would be. He and I spend so much time together that I found myself a bit lost and wandering during his absence. I did manage to start the Tudor Bag I had on my… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 4-12-16 | Quilt Blocks & Tudor Bag
To-Do Tuesday | Working on Stepping Stones
It was nice switching things up this past week and working on quilting rather than bag making. I caught up on the Stepping Stones Quilt along by getting all of the fabrics starched, pressed, and cut. I completed last week's assignment to make all of the HST's for the quilts. I really dislike the trimming… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday | Working on Stepping Stones
