I am not a “scrap quilter”…. But I am a quilter. So naturally, I don’t want to throw any scraps away! I have been saving and using my scraps along the way. But up until now, I have not done anything with my selvage strips. Except save them. I don’t cut a selvage from yardage. […]
My Pet Hamster mini quilt 24″ x 26″ I have been feeling a little stressed lately. But sewing helps! Even just ironing fabric helps. My thoughts are all over the place. I’m all over the place. And this post is really all over the place. These two mini quilts have been on my mental bucket […]
I’ve been talking an awful lot about “Santa’s Workshop” this month. Okay…. So I may have still been hanging around in my own little sewing room. But the quilted pillow I was making was not destined to be given as a Christmas gift this time. I recently received a phone call inquiring about whether I […]
Another quilted cushion…. This Bee pillow is another finish towards my goal of making a Handmade Holiday! I had previously made this block waaaayyyy back in August of 2013 and blogged about it here. This was my one and only attempt at paper piecing and finished at 10″ x 10″. The Bee block was designed […]
I am definitely having a wonderful time working in my little “Santa’s Workshop” this month. Okay…. So I am really still hanging around in my own little sewing room. But it sure is starting to feel like I’m at the North Pole! B-r-r-r! This set of quilted cushions was made to match the Forest Friends […]

This pair finished at 14″ x 14″ each and were inspired by the larger cushions I made earlier…. But never really blogged about until now! I had previously used my 12″ Santa’s […]
Just in time to wish you a Very Merry Christmas! It’s Rudolph! And his other Santa’s Reindeer friend. Made into a delightful door banner. The front is made entirely from Kona Cotton Solids: Biscuit for the faces, Brown for the antlers, Black for the eyes and nose, Cardinal for Rudolph’s nose and the lettering, and […]
The testing of blocks for the Forest Friends quilt has begun! On Friday, I sewed up the American Eagle block. And then marveled at how small it was! On Saturday, I spent the entire day preparing the pattern for the Canadian Beaver block. And I don’t know how I did it…. But on Sunday I managed […]
These little puppy pillows were made using one large block and one small block from my Dog Gone Cute pattern. I just added borders around the blocks and then made my own pillow forms to fit. I stuffed them with some poly fill I found in a box when I moved into the new sewing […]
