Did you know that today is national Gnome day!? What’s up with gnomes everywhere nowadays? Not just for Christmas!! I’ve seen some adorable Bee gnomes!! I love gnomes though and when I saw these bee gnomes on some fabric at Hobby Lobby, I just HAD to have it and made a table runner using my …
Handy Man is now in my shop after being part of the pattern club last month It’s a fun pattern where the blocks blend into the sashing and borders! It’s made with 7 fabrics where several are close together in color. Of course I made mine using the Accuquilt QUBE sets (6″ and 12″) but …
With all the busyness in the house, I hardly have time to quilt/sew anymore but I managed to finish this table runner this week. It measures 15″ x 25″ and I used some leftover coffee fabrics from my FQ club, to make it (I used yardage) I’m planning on giving this to my neighbor as …
In March I decided to use my “Crazy Cat” quilt pattern and use some leftover Bluey fabric and make a smaller baby version of the pattern. Normally it’s made with 12″ blocks (using the 12″ QUBE set if you have it) but I used the 8″ QUBE set to make 8″ blocks! My quilt ended …

Today, we’re ON THE ROAD home from a few days at the beach! It’s the only vacation we’ll do this summer, as hubby still hasn’t found a job since he lost his IBM job, plus my in-laws are in bad health. We go to my friend’s beach house (that she rents out) at least once …
Some people have asked me how to read my patterns, because my patterns are “different” and often include LOTS of sizes! so let me explain here On the front page under the quilt picture is the Finished sizes (often 3 sizes!) Then on the back under the yardage chart it tells you what QUBE set …
I like to make scrappy quilts and especially baby quilts! Then sometimes, because it’s a baby quilt, I end up having the yardage anyways because it might just ask for 1/4yd or less than 1/2yd etc. I also don’t like to have lots of yardage on my shelf- unless it’s bolts to sell, but they …
It’s time for another block for the monthly rainbow QAL! This month it’s PURPLE! – not a color I like too much and I rarely buy purple fabrics, so my stash is small in both dark and light purple, but I managed to put something together for this block 🙂 so grab your purple bins, …
I am slowly working on more Priscilla scrappy blocks and matching star blocks with the 6″ QUBE set The Priscilla is such a fun die to use for scrappy blocks because the pieces are TINY! often I have strips that are around 1 1/2″ wide and they fit perfectly on the small parts of the …
