Life in the Jungle by doohikey designs…..oh my goodness!!  I saw this at market and fell in love!

So confession time – I am a sucker for Valentine fabric….I don’t know why, but I just love it!!  When I saw this at the Intrepid Thread, I HAD to have some…. Olive the Ostrich by Laurie Wisbrun….so, so stinkin’ cute!! Now what to make??  Of course Olive has to have center stage!!  Any ideas??  […]

I am thinking about doing up another baby quilt…..I pulled out this next line from Jenn Ski called Oink A Doodle Moo!  This line came with this panel…. What would you do with it?? So far I decided to cut 8 inch squares to show off these fun prints….. Here is the giveaway for this […]

So back to my original idea…using a deep green floss….working very nicely…. At the end of yesterday, here is my […]

Remember this adorable baby quilt??  I thought I would share finished pictures with you. The yellow polka dot fabric was the binding request from the client… One tip I followed and I would recommend….don’t trim the back until you sew on the binding. Since stretchy minky fabric was the back, it was a great tip […]

This week’s winner is….Natasha!!  I am emailing you… Ric Rac Rabbits by Marisa and Creative Thursday….I bought this line awhile back from the Intrepid Thread, of course! Since I loved so many of the prints in this line, I decided to do more of a centerpiece/placemat… oh I love, love the look of this… to […]

I made some nice progress on my embroidery project….but now I am stuck.  I ran out of the twine and the twine pictured is to thick to fit through my threader and needle….help!  Any ideas…. Until I figure a solution…I began another piece using lighter colored linen and actual floss…what do you think??  Happy Sewing!
