    Nice work ladies! I have a sewing group meeting this morning near Joanns. I plan to shop there and try to keep them in business. LOL I need coordinating fabric for several projects.

    Greetings! I have three different quilts that I'd like to make progress on this week. I also need to get a birthday card made and gift packaged and mailed. I think I have a gift made but should double check on that. Throw in a little sock knitting and some cross stitch, and I should be able to...

    I heard that Joann's supply issues were caused by their failure to pay the suppliers who then, of course, stop supplying. Made a couple more zip pouches today. I'm still trying to perfect a technique.

    Joann news is upsetting! I struggled a bit yesterday with some zipper pouches. I made two and wasn't really pleased with them, so I'm going to try something different today. I finished a cute little vehicle (Altoids) tin for Valentin yesterday. The vehicles are buttons. The only grandchild I...

    Greetings! I'm going to Open Sew with Kathy tomorrow. I hope to finish the blocks and sewing rows together on a UFO teal pinwheel quilt and perhaps start sewing blocks for another quilt. I, also, need to add greetings to the Easter cards I made last week and to a BD card. Other projects: Get...

    I bought a little fabric to use with the CCS motifs for Easter cards. Those should get done today. I also have a couple of Easter gifts that I hope to get to working on. Yesterday I bought a skein of yarn to make a doll blanket with. I'm using a 10-stitch afghan pattern which has turned out...

    When I say we're having chop salad, I'm referring to the bagged salad mixes we get at Costco.

    The tablecloth turned out great. I probably jinxed myself, though, and now the whole family won't come home at the same time. :( Still can't quite get to the Easter crafts. Today I made 6 IFAQH hearts. I was experimenting with what process I liked best. I made a couple different variations of...

    MM ~ Nice rugs! Do they hold up well under traffic, or are they placed in non-high-traffic areas? I got a great start yesterday on a large tablecloth for our extended dining room table. Before I do the final hemming, I want to put the leaves in and see how it looks. I'm also making progress on...

    My 2018 UFO lake loft quilts are done. I still need to make the labels, but I'm calling that a separate project. I've been experimenting with what machine embroidery font to use. I hope to stitch out some samples today.

    It would be nearly devastating to me for Joanns to go out of business. There are other craft stores, but I definitely do a lot of shopping at Joanns, and there are three stores that are very convenient for me to shop at. You can tell when you visit the stores, though, that there are some...

    I have two quilts that I would like to finish this week. I have some quilting left to do on them, then binding. Then I will focus on finish up some Easter cards and gifts.
