My Sunday Best

Spring Sewing Party

I am joining Kelly on Saturday for the Spring Sewing Party! Gather up all your supplies and some snacks to keep your energy up and sew the day away!!

I have a couple of projects that are calling to be worked on, so I am hoping this will push me to get them done :-) Come join the fun.

Happy Quilting!

Well it is almost midnight, and I've almost got my "Sunday Best" finished. I think I am going to quit and head for bed. Tomorrow I will try to finish up and post a picture.

It's been fun, my friends. Hope everyone had a wonderful time at the party. Thanks so much to Kelly and Joan for inviting me to come along :-) Be sure to check out everyone who participated in the the Spring Sewing Party!

And the finished top -

I was able to sew on my BOM and my February Schnibbles. What a great party!

Meet you at the corner drug store

A week ago, I went with my dear hubby to pick up a car that was being serviced. As we were pretty close to one of my favorite quilt shops, I thought it would be a good use of my time and gas to make a quick stop.

One of the reasons I love going to this shop is because they carry fabric lines that are more to my tastes. And of course they have so many lovely samples made up.

Check out the ceiling tiles. This building used to be an old corner drug store. The floors also are old and creaky but so inviting.

Sometimes I wish this shop was located closer to me, as I think it would be so fun to take some classes there.

I also picked up this Miss Rosie's pattern.


The lady who was checking me out wanted to know if there was another one on the rack? It looks so great to use for 30's fabric or even scraps.

And speaking of Miss Rosie's Quilts, did you know that Carrie has published two new books?? And there is a little contest going on for those who purchase her book. Hop over to Carrie's blog and "read all about it!"

Okay, now I have to get back to my February Schnibbles quilt. Having to start over, because I was not happy with my first fabric choice.

Happy Quilting :-)

We All Sew

Okay, so I am a little behind. There are several blogs that I read every day, one of which is Pam Kitty Morning. You know Pam, right? She is a neighbor and sewing buddy of Alex Anderson. She also hangs with Elizabeth of The Late Bloomer ......

So this morning Pam mentions that she was listed on We All Sew.........
Hum...... We All Sew. Guess I will have to check this one out.

Whoa, not only is Pam listed, but sweet little JayBird, A Quilting Life and All Things Quilty too! Where have I been?? And if you have not already been there, go check it out here. Lots of free sites to visit..

Hummmm.........guess I will have to make another cup of tea :-)

Enjoy your day!

Sew and Tell

For Christmas this year, my sweet children chipped in and bought me a new camera. It is smaller then my old Sony digital, which is great for carrying in your pocket or purse.

It has a nice large screen to preview my pictures (the Sony screen was about 1" x 1 1/2"). So I thought I'd need some kind of protection when this little camera is rummaging around in my purse.

I've never made anything like this before, so I set out with no plan in mind. But little by little I made some progress. Even though there were a few hic-ups and the seam ripper made a magnificent appearance, I ended up with a useful little bag to carry the camera.



I'd like to thank Alice Grace for sending me this lovely fabric. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.

Please hop over to amylouwho's Sew and Tell. It's always so much fun to see what everyone has been working on :-)

Happy Quilting!

Aren't we ready??
