..and Sew On: Big Project
http://ansewon.blogspot.com/2015/04/big-project.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Here is the big project I have been working on. A large lap quilt gift for my step daughter . Her birthday was in March but I figure if I get it done before next year I am doing good! Used a Moda Allure by Sanae jelly roll. Of fabric she loved when I posted it on FB. Pattern is a freebie called Strip Twist. Love this shot with sun behind it. Looks like a stain glass window! Waiting on a rain free, none windy day to spray baste the quilt sandwich. Pretty sure it will be loved!

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. We got snow, which was predicted. No not in the amount predicted but too much for us! Thank goodness we did not have much of the ice/sleet on top of it either. Still we are out in the boonies and do not expect to see a plow truck anytime soon. It is there buried! Took these early this morning. We got up to maybe 6 inches in spots and 5 inches in others. Cold and some wind out of the north. No this is not as bad as our pals up in North East but it is not the North East! Okay he...

Saturday, May 23, 2015. Easy Pretty DIY Wreath. This wreath can be made fast and easy for any season or holiday. Best to hang on a covered porch out of the weather. I picked a patriotic fabric along with some pretty red and white artificial flowers. Will leave this one up through the Summer. After all we have July 4th coming up as well. All you need is a straw wreath. This is the large one. Start a strip of fabric at angle with a straight pin. Take your picks or flowers, trimmed as you wish and poke in!

Thursday, May 21, 2015. Jays I Spy quilt all done. So many different cute bits of fabric to 'spy' things! Added his name to it so he knows it is his alone. -) Is a goodly size that can grow with him as he is only two years old! Backing is pieced with some very cute fabrics from the 'Alice' stash! Think he will enjoy the back as well as the front! Did the curvy stitch in small squares all over. Added the blue and black diagonal print binding. I am pleased with it! Cooled off yesterday which was nice!

Monday, April 13, 2015. Three Things Machine Quilters Should Stop Doing. This was shared with me and I found it very inspiring! So wanted to share with my blog pals as well! I know I am bad about criticizing my own sewing and quilt work. Hope you find it inspiring as well! April 13, 2015 at 11:20 AM.

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Yes we have snow. Not much mind you but more than I thought we would get! I figured we would get nada! Temps going up so will be gone soon enough. Least it is nothing compared to what others up North are getting. Hoping they will all stay warm and safe. Our sweet little grand Olivia loves Elmo! We got her the dancing Elmo for Christmas and she has been crazy for him since day one at 5mths! I drew up this Elmo and put him on a bib. Cute! Crossing fingers I can still do simple!

Thursday, April 9, 2015. First I wish to thank all for the condolence comments posted on the passing of our senior kitty Cocoa. Hard to say that last goodbye. She will be missed. We do have the kitty kids double trouble, Wiggles and Boots, to keep us loved on and entertained. ;-). I have been working on a bigger sewing project but did stop to sew for Easter! A bunny and Easter basket with eggs for our lil' 9mth old grand girly! I drew him up myself, no pattern. Hand stitched his face. Baby safe! April 9,...
