I made this wall hanging for our family a couple of years ago. Pattern by Under the Garden Moon. Christmas is so special... and it will be very relaxing in my home as all our relatives are far away, so it is just us and my two boys [the older son is not coming for Christmas so I won't get to run after my grandson! :-( ] Still, I am not ready... Christmas gifts to Brazil. Check. Christmas gifts for son and his family. Check. Christmas gifts for my husband and sons? For my friends? Ai ai … [Read more...] about Xmas Gifts Ideas

No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop
Welcome to the No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop hosted by Fat Quarter Shop! I was delighted when I was asked to participate - can you tell why?

Batik wall hanging
The temperature is down to the single digits here... We had such very short Autumn! I barely had a chance to enjoy my fall color quilts and it was time to change to winter ones. As I was choosing the projects I was going to display around the house I found "Eye Candy", a small wall hanging I don't think I showed you. It measures 19" x 17.5", featuring batiks (except on the white flowers) and machine applique' using blanket stitch with Aurifil 40 and 12 wt threads (Their threads add such … [Read more...] about Batik wall hanging
Friday Shopping!
I hope you enjoyed your time this Thanksgiving with family and friends (or, if you are far away from family like we are, had a peaceful day!). My day started late as I woke up at 1 am, could not go back to sleep and went to my studio - one baby quilt designed, pieced, and quilted by 7 am! Then, I crashed until 10:30 am. It is OK, though, because our Thanksgiving dinner is usually around 5 - I had plenty of time! Before I go to bed I just wanted to give you a heads up about Fat Quarter Shop's … [Read more...] about Friday Shopping!
Triangle Table Runner
I am having a difficult time finding binding fabric for this table runner (not good day for pictures)! I have a bunch of gray fabrics, none work. I ran out of the gray I used on the runner as that would have been an easy solution. I went out and got some fabric that I thought would work, got home and did not like the combination. Ai, ai, ai... The idea for this table runner came from a quilt I made a while ago (see it here), minus the embroidery. The flowers were fused with HeatnBond Lite … [Read more...] about Triangle Table Runner
