My dil was supposed to have her baby shower today, but it had to be cancelled. I was so sad for her, she was going to travel home to NC from GA to see all of her high school and college friends and celebrate her first baby. I sent her a package with a few of the gifts [...]

I did take that process pledge, so I have to tell you that I really was way off on this quilt block. I followed the directions for the cutting and I know they are right. This was my first block and because you cut a large fat quarter into sections (as many as 17 for [...]
Eye Candy for Easter
Posted in dresses, fabric, sewing, sewing childrens clothing, Toddler Clothing, tagged Ana Maria Horner, Bijoux, Farmer's Market, girls dresses, Isabel, Modkid Botique patterns, Pop garden on April 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I have been purchasing lots of fabric by Heather Bailey, Anna Maria Horner and Sandi Henderson. Farmer’s Market, Bijoux and Pop Garden are great prints for making dresses and since the price of cotton is rising, I wanted to take advantage of yardage that was still under $10 per yard. Here is most of my current stash. Since my [...]

I have just returned from a quick trip to NY where I zoomed up there from NC to attend a shower for my niece. Jessica is due towards the end of May and does not even look 5 months along! That never happened to me! Well, the two-soon to be grannies threw a wonderful Sunday afternoon shower [...]

New woven labels have arrived!

Last month I decided I needed some labels for my creations. I have tried to make my own and even though the twill tape works, it still looks somewhat homemade. I used them a few times and was not too excited about them. Since changing the name of the blog and having a designer create [...]
Ballet shoes for a toddler

What does a Nana do, when the granddaughter wants some ballet slippers and you can’t find them in her size. These little slippers were the best I could do (Dansk at Wal-Mart), but Kate said they didn’t look like real ballet shoes, she needed the ribbon so they would tie up her leg! A little [...]

I participated in the 3 x 6 Sampler Bee again for the 1st quarter. I asked for black and white blocks and I received some beautiful blocks from my hive members. I will try to get a picture for you to see. I plan to use them in an NC State quilt that I want [...]
