Stitch Sania Has Begun Part 2

HI! I'm back as promised with my focus pieces for #stitchsania this month.

Up first is Calvin and Trixie by Stitching with the Housewives. I don't know when I started this. Last September, maybe. I dyed the fabric grey and then coffee/tea dyed it. I liked the fabric then, but when I picked this up to work on it this week. I don't know. The fabric just looks dirty to me. And that makes me sad. But, I have so many stitches in it already that I will just keep on with it.

Next week will be an easy peasy finish. This is the third ornament in the Secret Santa series by Hands on Design. It's called Silent Night. I love the fabric and they way the colors pop on these. I'm going to have to make these a priority this year so I can finish them and put them on my Santa tree.

Third focus piece is the squirrel from Waxing Moon Designs Bittersweet Trio. I have lots to go on this LOL I have a couple other squirrel patterns that I want to do. We call our youngest two girls "the squirrels". Hubs was trying to say something one day about "the girls" and it came out "the squirrels". The name stuck. So I am doing at least two squirrel pieces so they can each have one.

Lastly is Alice In Wonderland by Soda Stitches. Daughter 4 is an Alice fan so this one is for her. I started waaaay back when she was still in high school. She graduated in 2018. I think I need to finish this LOL I'm thinking maybe a pillow or a tote bag for a FFO on it. I'll have to think about it.

Share your focus pieces with me and we can encourage one another to get them finished!

Until next time...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

Hi friends!! I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while. So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness. And it comes with a story. Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program. If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out. Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!! I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls. Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt. Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023. I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month. I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot. But ya'll. I'm originally from south Louisiana, I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf! I totally went off any eating plan while there. Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food. If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Until Next Time...
