Project saver

I hate it when I bought fabric for a specific project, only to lose it among the stash. I have been buying these containers to keep my projects together. 

They work great to help me be organized and not lose fabric for designated projects. I find them at Michaels, especially when they are on sale.

So when I was at the Dollar Tree the other day, I noticed a smaller container, and I wondered if I could use them too.

Well turns out it works GREAT for charm pack or Jolly Bar projects.  

I may have to go back and get more!

Happy Quilting!

The Starlet Spy

The Starlet Spy by Rachel Scott McDaniel is a romantic suspense novel set in 1943 during the height of WW2. 

Hollywood actress Amelie Blake is approached by the OSS to uncover and find sensitive information before it falls into enemy hands. Why, she asks, pick her? Because she has always played parts of the dittzy blonde, and it makes a good cover. Plus she is originally from Sweden and they suspect the information is being transferred from Sweden to Germany.  

This story was interesting and intriguing. When Amelie meets Finn Ristaffason, she is sure he is in collaboration with the enemy. But Finn sees right through her disguise. And as the relationship grows between the two of them, they learn to trust each other. And of course there is a surprise ending. 

This is the first book I've read by McDaniel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good clean fiction. Looking forward to reading more of her writings.

 I received a complimentary an e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A little bit of Bliss

 If I have to shop online, I love The Fat Quarter Shop. Love their daily Flash sales. Recently I came upon Tablerunner Bliss by Sherri Falls. 

20 different tablerunner patterns.

I've always enjoyed making tablerunners. They can change with the season and can usually make a pretty quick little quilt., The cover runner is what sold me. AND the book is on sale for this month at the Fat Quarter Shop.

Happy Quilting.

Serger

 Recently I was given a White Speedylock serger. I have never owned a serger, no had I ever used one before. But I am going to love using this to make pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles.

I love making the pillowcases, and this will speed up the process. 

Sew far sew good!

Happy Quilting!

Wedding days

 Fifty years ago I said "I do" to this man.

I look back over the years, and see how God has blessed us through thick and thin.  But still, it's hard to comprehend that 50 years, half a century, has come and gone. He has been my Anchor man, my best friend. Love isn't always enough, but it certainly helps. Any man who doesn't mind having fabric, thread and machines as a part of his life, is definitely a keeper. And I do plan to keep him for another 50 years :-)

Thanks for reading. Wishing you a Happy Quilting day.

Dresses for little girls

 Recently I packed up a box full of fabric that has been sitting in my closet for way too long.

Beautiful quilt shop fabric that could be used for a better purpose. So I gave it to my friend who makes dresses for girls in third world countries.

Dress a Girl Around the World is a wonderful ministry that brings smiles to little girls who don't want to look like a boy.

Here are two dresses made from fabric I donated.  I'm so happy to see the fabric being used to bring joy to these little girls.
