I am so very excited to share this week's finishes. I have more than just a quilt to share this week too. Not only am I excited for the finishes, I am so jazzed that my friend, Sarah, of Georgia Girl Quilts is hosting Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday this week. Sarah's quilts are amazing… Continue reading Finished Friday | The Alpine Quilt

To-Do Tuesday 10-4-16 | Quilting the Alpine Quilt
Happy October! I am so excited that Fall is here! We actually don't experience too much of a "Fall" season here. No trees full of leaves turning gorgeous shades of red, orange and yellow before falling. No crisp autumn air where you can see your breath in the morning. Nope. It's pretty much just a… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 10-4-16 | Quilting the Alpine Quilt
To-Do Tuesday 9-27-16 | Stitching ALL The Things
Happy Tuesday, my friends! It's time to do our weekly check up on our to-do lists. This past week I rocked my list! I made the two replacement blocks needed for the Flying Geese Diamonds quilt, sewed the quilt top together, made the quilt backing, and basted it all together. BOOM! So happy to have… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 9-27-16 | Stitching ALL The Things
To-Do Tuesday 12-22-15 | Happy Holidays!
However you are celebrating this year, I wish you happiness and joy! My family celebrates Christmas, so "Merry Christmas" wishes are always appreciated by us! This month there has been no sewing, but every week there seems to be something sewing related happening. This past week I received the Quilter's Planner I pre-ordered from Late… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 12-22-15 | Happy Holidays!
To-Do Tuesday 12-8-15 | Making Christmas Candy
Happy Tuesday! Another week of no sewing, but I did manage to get all my Christmas candy making done. I made a delicious recipe for Salted Caramel Pretzel bark I found HERE on allrecipes.com. I tested this recipe a couple of weeks ago, but didn't get the caramel to the hard crack stage and so… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 12-8-15 | Making Christmas Candy
To-Do Tuesday 12-1-15 | ‘Tis The Season
Happy Tuesday!! I must confess, I am quite a Grinch around Christmas time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Christmas. I love what the whole season is all about. But I do not like crowds. Especially the shopping crowds. I do not like pulling out all the decorations and spending a day decorating and then… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 12-1-15 | ‘Tis The Season
To-Do Tuesday | 2014 Wrap up | 2015 Sewing Plans
I didn't mean to stop doing To-Do Tuesdays, much less go almost an entire month without blogging, but the holiday craziness and the new job just got the best of me. My 2014 was fairly productive. Not as many quilts made as I had planned, but I did do a variety of projects. Quilts: The… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday | 2014 Wrap up | 2015 Sewing Plans
To-Do Tuesday 12-2-14
I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! Here I am, just sitting in my kitchen drinking a nice hot cup of coffee (black, of course), when I look at the Mister and ask... "Is today Tuesday?" His reply, "Yup." Mine? "OH… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 12-2-14
Busy Busy | To-Do Tuesday 11-11-14
It's Veteran's Day here in the U.S. and I must take time to thank all who have served, and are continuing to serve this country. I thank them for their sacrifice, so that I can lounge here on my couch, in my jammies, typing up this blog post while watching TV, in the safety of… Continue reading Busy Busy | To-Do Tuesday 11-11-14
Other Handmade Christmas Gifts
As I planned and created handmade Christmas gifts this year, I worried that they wouldn't be good enough. That they would come off as cheesy, ugly, or even not well-enough made. A friend recently noted that I am a perfectionist about sewing [paraphrasing], and while that could be misconstrued as a negative comment I know… Continue reading Other Handmade Christmas Gifts
