For my sister’s Christmas gift, I made her a set of placemats. I made six of ‘em but there were only four of us for Christmas dinner so here’s the table at the beginnings of being set. I’d show it to you all set, but then you can’t see the placemats! I have to say, [...]
So fall was here. And then it got replaced by summer again. LA weather is weird. Anyhow – to stay in the fall spirit I quickly whipped up this pillow sleeve. The deer get all the props in Lush, but you can’t deny the trees! That said, I couldn’t leave the deer out entirely… I’m [...]
All finished with the commissioned pillow sleeves! So much fun to work with such bright fun colors! Happy happy weekend to you all!
Here in Southern California, there are no weather complains, but it’s officially now spring. That, combined with the fact that I HAD to take a break from the baby quilts lead me to a couple of bright vibrant pillow sleeves! These are quick and fun to whip up. Remember how I mentioned I needed to [...]
Recently I’ve been getting a little thrill out of making projects that you can finish in one sitting. Quilts certainly don’t provide that, but cute purses do!

I was in a bit of a funk the other day and wanted to make something that would cheer me up. What to do? How about cut into some of your favorite fabric and make yourself a bag you know you love?? Done. Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile know [...]
Made these pillows for my sister – I’m thinking there are going to be loads of pillows in my future… And the table runner & place mats for my mother in law. They were incredibly tough for me to get through as the fabrics aren’t my taste, but if you saw her dark green & [...]
Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and yours!! Hope that you all have a wonderful time and enjoy all that this season means. Family, friends, food, and good times! I’ve been sewing like crazy and will show you some gifts after tomorrow, but for the time [...]
Clearly I haven’t been able to motivate on making my mother in law’s table runner and place mats. Cute girly monsters for some friends’ daughters instead!
