Inspiration

We've had some fun family time recently!  (Note our Prince and Princess above 🥰)  Not a whole lot of quilting time, but that's OK.  I'm making some headway on Queen of Diamonds and this picture inspired me to get back to Indigo Vases ASAP!

Hurray 👏 It turned out beautifully 😊

Port Pillows

I was asked to make (or partially make) 50 port pillows for a church service activity this week.  They are tiny pillows that velcro around your seatbelt to cushion the port area for chemo patients.  At the activity they will stuff them and sew the end closed, then package them with notes of encouragement and chocolates.  Here they are all sewn and ready to be stuffed!  If you know someone you want to make one for, there are YouTube videos with good instructions.


I am currently working on sewing the Queen of Diamonds quilt top together!  This may take awhile!  I have to take the papers out of all of these blocks, starch and press, then sew a little border around each one, THEN cut more diamonds and add the sashing.  Having fun though!!

New Shop in Town!!

Today I went to the grand opening of Craft Addict Junction!  Wow!  What a nice space they have for this new shop, which carries Brother Sewing machines, as well as Kimberbell and all kinds of other stuff for knitting, crocheting and hand embroidery.  Plus their classroom is just beautiful!  If you go today or tomorrow you can enter a drawing to win one of the gift baskets above. So very excited to have this new shop in our town!! 👏😊
