I had bought a new sewing machine, managed to get it out of the box and there it sat for 3 weeks under its cover waiting. Last week I finally threaded the sewing machine and gave it a test drive making a cute little tread catcher…See More

What I have been working on.

I had been ill for a few weeks this past summer and when I finally started feeling better I kept busy over the past few weeks putting in an Autumn garden, one of the perks of living in Florida is a near year round growing season.  While I was recovering from illness I went to my fabric stash and worked on a few small quilt block projects, one of my favorite quilt blocks is the bow tie block so I made a small pillow cover.…See More

Profile Information

What textiles are you interested in?
Wool, linen, cotton in the form of crochet, embroidery, quilting, sewing and once in a while an interesting piece of jewelry. I love look and feel of vintage linens, lace and fabrics and old needlework tools.

I'm creative, resourceful, and just a bit zany. I have good days, better days and days where I carry a shovel to bury my mistakes. I enjoy many forms of needle work and prefer to piece my quilts by hand, I love the look of vintage linens and fabrics and have a small collection, I have a growing collection of vintage jewelry, I have been known to remake my own pieces from items I find along my way. I enjoy treasure hunting at thrift shops, antique stores and flea markets.

All Stars Quilt blocks

Posted on August 18, 2012 at 13:29 1 Comment

Well I finally put the last stitch in the last block of the All Starts Quilt, this was a kit offered back in 1997 from Joann Fabrics I bought 2 of each kit, made one and saved one for future use. The first one was given to a friend to welcome her new little grandchild, the second kit spent time in and out of the stash bins, storage unit and packing boxing.  Until this week when I opened up the fabric bins and found it lying on top right where I placed it last year before my move.…

Dear Deb,

I've just made myself a cup of tea after doing the dishes. Together with a nice piece of chocolate, it is now time to answer all the people who commented on my TAST-piece. By the time I am done, the angel on the other side of the globe will have posted another challenge in the TAST-series!

Thank you very much for commenting on my pictures. I really like the black and white quilt in your blog. Well done you!

Have a nice day, Jessica
