::Bits of the Weekend::

Where does the weekend go?  I’d make a great old lady shut-in…but I’d just sit, sew and drink tea rather than have bad drawn curtains and smoke stains.  Hell, if I live to 87 I think I’ll start smoking for kicks.  It will only be about $30 a pack by then.

My little bits blocks for [...]

::Baby Steps::

How are you all getting on?  I don’t know if I get the hang of this Kindergarten/Work thing, it really cuts into your sewing time.
This week we are going to iron and square up our blocks.  Then you may play with your arrangement.
I love what I call my “lap board” for this next step.  The [...]

::Alexander Henry Apron Making Marathon::

I’ve always been an admirerer of Alexander Henry’s prints.  I thought of it instantly when my friend Linda in Santa Fe asked for aprons for her catering company.

Some of these prints have been hanging out in my closet for quite sometime.  Waiting for the perfect coordinating fabric.
Let’s see.  We’ve got some Kleo, Apples and pears, [...]

::Contrast=Value, and a Block::

I joined another quilting bee named Ten Make Two.  The Bee is hosted by I’m a Ginger Monkey (Katy). I think this bee is rather genious.  You use your own fabric rather than mailing back and forth.  Often,  I get an idea in my head for the block I want and I can’t make it [...]

::Birthday Boys::

Poor Roan feels so let down that he can’t go buy toys for his friends for their birthdays.  The pillows are really for their mother and my friend.  Her boys have the most adorable Pottery Barn Robot Sheets on their beds.  I always want it for Roan when I see it.

This is my first time [...]

::Making Progress::

All the rectangles now have a print border.  One I had to seam rip off.  It was just too dark and I couldn’t wrap my head around it.  Now to add another solid border to each and keep it to size I have to eliminate one rectangle.
This is what happens when you don’t have a [...]

::Keep Moving::

Thank you all for your kind words regarding Fe Dog passing on.  I stepped back from sewing for the week and occupied my mind with running and family.  My mantra for this is “keep moving.”  I have a variety of projects to keep myself busy, and the weather is certainly encouraging outdoor play.

Top on the [...]

::Running…in circles::

I’ll just warn you that this isn’t a very crafty post.
The folks are gone, and we’ve slowly come back to normal here in the Pedersen household.  It only took me just shy of a week to clean the bathroom and vacuum.  My lame excuse was needing the time to catch up on my quilting bee [...]

::Sunday Stash 6/Alexander Henry Arvika::

Thanks to my friend Joree at Nine Fireflies I am owner of this fab fabric.  I was able to visit her over Christmas.  So much fun to sit, drink beer, and look at fabric with someone as equally obsessed!
I wanted to pull my bed into her studio so I could stare at her fabric stash [...]
