Studio Dreaming

August 7, 2022

We’re making progress on the new home and just a few days ago I woke up and thought “I’m not in someone else’s house wondering when I’ll get to go home… but this is home now”. It only took a month! There’s still so much to do, but God is providing in wonderful ways. The…

Erma’s Family Tree

July 31, 2022

A friend from church contacted me and said she was making a family tree and was wondering if I knew of a place she could find fabric with large cardinals printed on it. Erma is one of those wonderful women who organize meals and events at church behind the scenes without wanting any attention placed…

Letter Blocks

Moving has really cut into my quilting time! I have cleared a path and can actually turn on my sewing machine, but finding the supplies I need for anything is a challenge. Because I knew this would be the case I planned ahead for our current small project in ThreadBenders. When we exhibit our work…

July 17, 2022

When Wendy and I led a Sew We Go tour to Italy 10 years ago, it was interesting to note that every time we entered a cathedral the majority of the tourists were looking up and snapping photographs of the arches and windows, but every quilter was looking down and photographing the beautiful floors.

Sew, we’re in our new home ~ praise the Lord! We’re exhausted, sore, and a bit overwhelmed. Moving is a lot of work ~ especially if you haven’t done it for 18 years and you have TOO much stuff! But we’re here and we have the rest of our lives to make everything “perfect” (because…

Dragonfly Fun

July 3, 2022

Our recent challenge in the Fiberistas was a “do it yourself round robin”. During the pandemic we’d been meeting via Zoom, so it really wasn’t feasible to do a typical round robin border challenge. We decided we could do one if we came up with different border themes each month, BUT we’d work only on…

A Rainee Quilt

June 26, 2022

While visiting Loose Threads Quilt Shop in Milton, WI I found a pattern that intrigued me. I don’t buy patterns very often, because I like to come up with my own designs, but this pattern really tickled me. My granddaughter Rainee was approaching her 10th birthday and it was time to make her a new…

My New Favorite Notion

June 19, 2022

While visiting a vendor booth in Paducah, Cathy and I came upon a small plastic device that I just had to try! My favorite scissors to have near the machine while sewing is the Fiskar’s Spring Action Scissors… and there’s a story that goes with this photo: A few years ago I was having some…
