Halloween Fabric Mail Day
Yesterday was an amazing mail day! My Spooktacular fat quarter bundle came in the mail from Fat Quarter Shop! It’s nine super great Halloween themed fat quarters. I’m thinking I want to make a quilt of some sort, but I’m still not sure what I want the quilt to look like. There are some great…
Read MoreHeritage Days and a Quilt Show
Every year, my town has a festival on the town square. There are lots of local organizations with food booths and local people selling handmade items. I always enjoy taking a trip to the event just to look around. You never know who you might get to see, and what cool things you might find…
Read More10 Years… A Class Reunion
Last weekend was my 10 year class reunion. I’m feeling a little old, but it might be worth it since I the reunion gave me a chance to visit with people I hadn’t seen in quite some time. I even got Matt to take a picture with me. Though, we are going to have to…

It looks like rainy days are here again. The weatherman is calling for a chance of rain every day for the rest of the week. On the plus side, rainy days like this put me in a mood to sew, so I might actually have a new project to share with you next week. I…
Read MoreGraphic Prints
For those of you who don’t know, this week was New York Fashion Week. And while there were many styles on the runway, one look really stood out to me. It was the use of bold graphic prints, mostly in black and white. I mean if it’s wrong to want all three of these mix…
