Easter Themed Projects from Around the Web
Last year, I wrote a post featuring April themed projects. To me, April often means rain, but Easter falls in April this year, so let’s talk about a few great sewing projects that are great for Easter. I am in love with this Christian Cross Watercolor Art Quilt from SusieBDesigns on Etsy. It was actually…
Read MoreDisplaying Fabric
Did you ever have a piece of fabric you loved so much that you just couldn’t use it in a project? I have a piece of fabric like that from my grandmother’s stash. It’s the very last piece of the fabric, just a little larger than a mini charm. So what do you do with…
Read MoreStocking Wreath
I found a great wreath idea on the Midwest Living site last year. It’s a spring wreath using an umbrella, but it gave me the idea to make a wreath from a stocking. My wreath is currently hanging out on my fake ficus tree at work, but I’ll take it home when the office closes…

Peacocks are beautiful creatures, the male with it’s blue and green tail feathers spread wide. When I was little, grama and grampa had a neighbor across the road who kept peacocks (and peahens).

Read MoreProject Setback
My sewing machine is broken! Well… sort of broken. The bobbin tension is officially so messed up that the threads unravel themselves. It looks like I’ll be taking a trip down to Davco, afterall. I was really hoping to be able to wait until after I got my quilt-top done to take it, but at…
