In My Happy Place


Little by little my Red Rose Farm quilt is coming along.  I've been auditioning sashing fabric and measuring and trimming and playing with the arrangement.


I just love this fabric.  I have tried to utilize as much of the fat quarter bundle as possible and I do believe that when this quilt is all finished, I will only have tiny pieces left.  I love that!


The kitchen chorus (as I like to call them) really make the quilt for me.  I know that whenever I see this quilt hanging in my kitchen, I'm going to smile.


My machine has been in the shop for almost two weeks.  I needed to sew terribly so I went and found the machine we bought for our daughter when she was in elementary school (she's in highschool now).  It sounds like a truck is coming through the house when I use it but it sews a straight, quarter inch seam and that's all that matters to me.  

Sweet blessings,

    A friend of mine has a sewing machine that sounds like a machine gun!

  8. Oh! What a cute quilt! That will look so sweet in a kitchen.

    I have to say, "I was swooning over the photo (showing a bit of your kitchen), leading to your sewing room. SOOOOO pretty!!!"

    My sewing machine sounds quieter after a good oiling. I hate oiling it right as I start a new project, so afraid I will get it on the fabric! :{ I guess it pays to run it on some test fabric first!! :)

  10. Beautiful fabric!

    And, you have joined my "Sounds like a truck coming through the house" club. And, yes, the blessing of a straight seam.

    Tell me about Stash manicure- looks interesting.
