Slowly I am making my way through my sewing "to do" list. Up next is the quilt "Country Road" found in the book, "Weekend" by Blackbird Designs. This quilt is for my Sis in Love, Ellen. It's because I love her so much that I'm willing to cut out 500 3 1/2" squares and 400 3 7/8" squares. Yes, you read that right. This fabric, also by Blackbird Designs, is just dreamy. That's a good thing since I'll be cutting a lot of it!
We have an important wedding reception at the farm this weekend. A dear friend's son is getting married. I get to be a guest and an employee. I can hardly wait. It will be the last reception at the farm before shutting down the wedding business. I made this banner yesterday for the bridal table. Have a good day, friends!

Joyfully,
There's a thunderstorm going on outside, I've got the Pioneer Woman cooking on t.v. and I'm pinning on Pinterest while having coffee. Perfect multitasking. Now if I could just get someone to cook me breakfast! I thought I would start something new for Saturday's on my blog. I'm going to be sharing something I like from Pinterest. There's so many wonderful ideas on the site. I'm loving this variation on a Drunkard's Path quilt block. Such an interesting name, said to be linked historically to the Women's Christian Temperance Movement. I have not made this block yet, but I'm intrigued. Have a wonderful, Saturday!

I wanted to make a birthday present for a friend and I sat in my sewing room staring at my little scrap basket (little because I gave all my scraps away in one of the giveaways). As I pulled each scrap out an idea came to mind, I would just start sewing and see where the shape took me. It took me to a table runner in all it's sweet, sugary goodness. You never know what will come of a basket of scraps. Try it!
Hugs,
Yesterday's trip to Barnes and Noble didn't leave me empty handed. I have been looking for the book, "Adornments" because my niece is getting married next month. The other two books I had read about and are just wonderful! If you're off to the bookstore, take a look! Blessings!

Hi friends! Oh my, was I an absent blogger last week. I'm still trying to find a routine with school back in session. We had a busy week at the farm resulting in a lovely wedding on Saturday. I managed to piece the next row of Lori's row along over the course of a few days. I love this row. I have a feeling I am going to say that about every row. This one is darling butterflies. If I was a real photographer I could find a better way to photograph a long stretch of fabric. But since I'm not, here it is hanging from a floor lamp! The butterfly block was a good remember that patience and faith in the Lord will produce beauty in His timing.
Sweet blessings,
With joy,
