Hooray! I have finished several things just in time to count them for the end-of-the year report! We had the annual Christmas fair at school, and I made bags again — this time in several sizes. The small gift bags were the best sellers, especially the ones sized to hold DVDs and CDs. I also [...]

I haven’t been sewing very much lately, but our oldest daughter has some new projects on her design wall! She went shopping in my fabric stash this week, and look what she took home! Hooray!

What bliss! I’ve been sewing every single day this week! I have now finished 58 patriotic blocks, and I made a second recycled bath mat. I also did some mending, cut out a pair of pyjamas for my little girl and started basting a lap quilt that’s been waiting in my stack of UFO tops. [...]

I need to finish some projects so I can get positive numbers. Maths with negative numbers really confuses my brain! This week I bought fabric. I was planning to buy fabric on holiday in June, but the sweet little quilt shop in our holiday town had closed down. And you know that quilting money was [...]

This week, my step-daughter came over for dinner and told me about a quilt she has started making. It’s her first large project, and I am really excited for her! This is the young woman who received the turquoise quilt for her birthday in March. She prefers hand-sewing to using a sewing machine, so she [...]

After we left our children at school the other day, my friend Jeanette asked if I could come around to her car because she had some sewing stuff in the boot (trunk) for me. It was 30 metres of grey corduroy! Some of it has been cut, but most of it is still on this [...]

The quilt is for someone who loves gardening, so I used an assortment of floral fabrics to represent a flower garden. My totals for Week 13 are: Bought this week: 0 yard Bought year-to-date: 10.75 [...]
