Sewing room hell…

November 29, 2009

I am going to try and organize my sewing room.
If I never return… call 911.
On second thought, I would be too embarrassed for the responders to see my sewing room, so scratch that.
Wish me luck.

We are going today to get our hair cut and colored.  Yes, Miss Princess is getting her first highlights or whatever she wants.  I hope I can talk her [...]

Tree’s Up, Lights On!

November 22, 2009

Ok, I went and did it.  I bought another quilting pattern.
It’s called Tree’s Up, Light’s on from Pieces from My Heart.

I’ve been stalking that pattern for about a year now.  I know I have red fabric, not sure of the green or different creams.  I think I will have to stock up on those [...]

Turkey time

November 21, 2009

My mom a/k/a Jean the Queen has tagged me and Miss Princess Butt to make The Thanksgiving Turkey.  I usually make the pumpkin pies, because they are my specialty (I make them VERY spicey) but I offered and she said go for it.
Now mind you, many years ago, I made the Thanksgiving Turkey and it [...]

Those triangles again

November 19, 2009

On the advice of one of my blog readers I bought Quilt Pro’s Print and Sew.  She suggested paper from Carol Doak and/or Papers for Foundation Piecing from That Patchwork Place or newsprint paper.
Does anyone know what pound weight newsprint is?  It’s usually written on the top or bottom of the ream of paper.

Need to get!

November 19, 2009

I need to find this:

I’ve looked at a couple newsstands and so far, no luck. 
I’m a newsstand kinda gal.  I love bookstores.   I could live in a bookstore.  But, in my area, I haven’t seen this. 
Not at Target or Save Mor either.  I live in a quilting magazine black hole, I think.
Here’s [...]

The one that got away….

November 18, 2009

I saw this on freecycle:

Ohhh, I wanted it.  I wanted to paint it, distress it and hang it on my wall and show it LOVE!
But, the nice lady gifted it to someone else.  Serious boo hoo!  She did say she wished she had read my email before the other one though, because she would [...]

November 13, 2009

Enough of all the Christmas posts, already!  We haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet! 
We have a radio station in town that used to start playing nothing but Christmas music right after Thanksgiving.  Not this year!  They started playing Christmas music RIGHT AFTER HALLOWEEN!  Noooooooo!!!!
Target is already decorated for Christmas – I haven’t been to any [...]

Half Square Triangle envy

November 10, 2009

Nancy, from Blogging, Near Philadelphia has decided to use her Rouenneries fabric the same way I plan to use mine i.e, Moda Lissa’s Ocean Waves quilt pattern.

Yeah!  I mean it.  If I see her doing it, I might get up enough guts to try it also.
But, between you and me, you see, I have this [...]
