30-minute pants…
I did my workout tonight (yoga, which I like, but it’s 2 hours long! plus a shower, leaving me not much time to play!), and then C said he was coming home from work early (sad that midnight-ish is early, huh?), so I knew better than to start cranking on the western shirt for him… […]
Easter Bunny Peeps Pins!
I totally couldn’t resist, especially since I had some white felt and easter egg dye…I dunno how big they are, I didn’t measure at any point, but you can see the scale…the colors are a little off, the red one is actually pink, pretty close to the candies, and the yellow is a PERFECT match.I […]
Easter prep
here’s a sneak peak at what I’ve done so far… Hopefully I won’t run out of steam, as I still have lots planned….check my flickr for details and more pics….
Today’s quilt blocks…
Skinny 9-patch, Hither and Yon, (Modify Tradition Quilt-a-long blocksfor me) and 4 Framed Wonky 4-patches (for a Bee)… Now back to Easter/birthday gifts…. better pics on my Flickr
My new ironing board!
My ironing board was sooooo dirty (old example with quilt blocks), so I ripped it apart (and saved the edge), got some insul-bright and some silver “ironing board cover” fabric, and put it all together. It’s awesome. Soooo sooo awesome.
my idea of heaven….
MomenTel:310.328.0500Fax:310.328.05011323 El Prado Avenue, Torrance CA 90501 Open Mon-Sat, 10am-6pm (free sewing classes too!) I bought several fat quarters (only $2 each!) and several regular quarters, and 1 yd of the owl print, planning on making one side of D’s sunhat from that, but then he wanted trains… Prices were as expected… obviously more than […]
Sunhat for a baby with a big head.
D’s head is already bigger than mine,(he’s outgrown his adult small bike helmet already), so it’s hard to find sunhats that are appealing, age apropriate, and will fit him. I made up this pattern last year, but he outgrew it, obvi. Here’s the new version. Green cotton seersucker on the “inside,” (it’s reversible, but I […]
Ahhhh, bliss….
It’s a lovely picnic-y day here in San Pedro. The perfect day for a Busy Bee sandwich and a picnic at Averil Park. The perfect day for my mother to walk the children down to the duck pond so I can admire the rubber trees and get a little bit of stitching done.
The border is done!
ok, hopefully now it’ll measure 112″x112″ 88″ x 88″ was just too small for our Cal King bed…. so I have an inch of white (or, rather, white on white dots) then 7″ of Kona navy then 3″ more white dots on white then I’m planning on binding with the Kona. Purple just looked too […]
It’s done!
I’ll take good photos with a nice camera in the am, but I’m so happy!I think I need/want to add a border, I have some dark blue scraps… A nice “modern” chunky pieced border of dark blue all around… Because my bed is bigger than I thought…. (it’s a California king, so 90″x90″ isn’t quite […]
