Stop by, take a peek!!!

Only in my
eBay Store!!

Shhh….
I am going to use some of these dots for a pinwheel quilt!!
I will show you some blocks a little later in the week.

I am one lucky gal!!!!!

When Sew We Quilt@Stash Manicure first started, I became a sponsor. I did this simply because I wanted to!! I have been a sponsor ever since.
Much to my delight I won a cuppa’ cozie from Madame Samm!!
How did she know I love pink?

What do you mean the whole world knows?

Am I that transparent?

Please look at this wonderful cozie.

Pink, Pink and more pink.

I just love it so much!!

Do you see the darling fabric she used?

I know you cannot feel it, but, oh my, it is so soft!!

And what girl could not love a ruffle, pink of course!

I am a coffee nut, believe me, this will be used and used a lot!!

Madame Samm has only been quilting for 9 months and I will tell you her work is amazing.
I also joined her Mug Rug Fun. It was the first one I ever made but because it was just for fun and it was for me, there was no pressure involved. I may even make another!
So, here is my Mug Rug and my Cuppa’ Cozie all set up by my sewing machine!
I am delighted to be a sponsor and thrilled to have received this work of art from Madame Samm
Thank you, thank you Madame Samm.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

String Blocks…

I love to make string blocks! They are such fun, work up quickly and give a fun modern scrappy look. I am involved in a one time swap for string blocks. Make as many as you like, send them in and receive the same amount back all mixed up!

I decided to make twenty.
It is fun and fast! I put all my scraps in a box, reach down grab one and try very hard not to be matchie, matchie! I work on paper although I know many work on muslin. I have never done it without paper. I hand quilt so I thought it would be easier to quilt with just one layer of fabric.

Here are my first four (paper still on) blocks.

Off to make more!

Tonight!!

In my best announcer voice....


TONIGHT LIVE.....

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards

ENJOY!!!

Sew Bee Wonky Blocks....

I was able to finish tow blocks last night. Our February gal gave us carte blanche to make any wonky blocks we wanted! I had such fun making these for her. She is going to have a great quilt with all the fun blocks she will be receiving! If you would like to take a peek at some of the blocks, just click the Sew Bee Wonky Button on my sidebar. My month is April!

The Final Piece of the Puzzle!

It is done!!!

Our big re-model job is officially done. Our new queen sleeper sofa arrived. It would not fit!!!! So, they had to take it apart and reassemble it in the new room. There was no way I was going to pick out a new sofa, I just love it!

It is a soft cozy grey fabric. I choose red pillows for the accent as the table and chair set we have was my husband’s parents, circa 1950’s. The seats are red leather.

This is my new pink light. I turn off the overheard lights and this one is just right for getting cozy on the couch while watching TV!!

This picture shows my second red/aqua quilt. I think it works so well with the blue walls and red accents!



See that lump? That is me!!!

When I get older and cannot do stairs this is where I will be, just put a quilt over me and call it a day!!! I am already in Heaven!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
