I finally finished my quilt top from all the blocks I got from the Fat Stash Bee. My month was back in June. I sent out to all the 11 other girls in the bee a FQ in pink, red, blue or green to do a crazy scrappy block in that color following Aneela Hoey’s […]
It’s been a while since I posted a block for the Fat Stash Bee, I did my November block early, there was no one to do a block for in December, and the January block is late. But, here it is. Erin asked us to do improv (improvisational piecing) blocks in a color of the […]
The quilter for February in the Joy circle of do. Good Stitches is Jolene from Blue Elephant Stitches. I love what she does. I suggest you take a look at her blog. For February, she asked for 2 stripes blocks in colors of the rainbow. This post will be short and sweet has there is […]
Last week, I made some box shaped cases for my two little boys from the fabric I ordered from Sew Fresh Fabrics. The gray one is Cross Town in Slate by Alexander Henry. And the green one is Chartreuse by Caleb Gray from On the Road for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I made those pouches so the […]

Last year, I started to sew two bags in a sewing course, both using templates by Nancy Zieman for Clover. This was my first posts on my blog (see here and here). Back in April, I had the lining and outer shell finished and ready to assemble, but I was missing some hardware for the […]
During the Holiday vacations, I decided to order some fabrics to build up my stash a bit. I’d say it is rather small. And doing some blocks for bees using fabrics from my stash, I always need to go to the fabric store because something is missing. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of choice […]
It seems the Japanese Knot Bags (see previous post) I made as a Christmas gift for my sister are getting some interest. That’s great. These were made following this tutorial by Helen Heath. This weekend I was featured in the newsletter from Pink Chalk Fabrics. I was really happy to see this when I […]
Happy New Year everyone! I was pretty busy in the past month sewing some little gifts for Christmas. This in between shopping, gift wrapping and being with the kids. Like most of you I guess… Now that I’ve given all those gifts, I can show them to you. These were all small gifts, quick to […]
