This frog likes thread and so you put him next to your sewing machine and feed him scraps of thread as you sew. He was fun and easy to make. I turned him right side out once though and he was missing his head. Ooops. LOL I had to use that pesky seam ripper and [...]
At quilt guild last week, we saw what the others learned to make while we were away. These cute bags can hold sewing tools or work well for other items. They are super simple to make.
I bought a cute lapel pin when I was in Tennessee. I like it so much that I thought I would make more but in different colors. None of my pins have come out the same size. LOL Goodness sakes. That is a terrible picture. It will have to do for now since hubby took [...]
I bit the bullet and made a date with a sewing instructor. The closest dealer for my Huskyvarna sewing machine was about 40 minutes away. I begged my mom to go with me since I know how much she hates visiting fabric stores, (said tongue in cheek), and off we went. I received two full [...]

Have you ever had a gift certificate burning a hole in your pocket? That was what happened to me yesterday. Plus, the fact that my sister put a bug in my ear about these little wash rags the fabric store had that would be so much fun to embroider. Off I went to do a [...]
I have a confession to make. I have stopped making my own greeting cards. When we first got a computer, I bought some software and made my own cards. The trouble is that I didn’t make a record of which card I sent to whom and I wouldn’t want to duplicate a card so I [...]
