MintBasil: A Hot Mess
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-hot-mess.html
Friday, February 14, 2014. Valentine Confession: I have started a sewing project that I am completely out of love with now. So now I have 20 or so 12x12" blocks and I don't even want to keep them. Can you help me see the beauty in this mess? What would you do with them? Would you just sewing them together and be done with it? Maybe hack the blocks apart and pair them with a solid? Can this be saved? Can I fall back in love with this project? Love is a fickle thing. And I am ready to call it quits! You ar...

MintBasil: January 2013
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. Remember the Charlie boots I made. For my nieces for Christmas? As I suspected they didn't fit. :( Their little feet couldn't make the turn from the ankle into the bootie. Neither the size 3 or 4 would go on. My one SIL decided a zipper would make these puppies fit and she was right! I just need to fix the other pair and get them back before winter is over!

Friday, January 31, 2014. 2014 quilt top and back done! This week I finished the quilt top AND finished the pieced backing for a small quilt. Fabrics included in quilt top: border print from Kate Spain's Terrain collection. Kona 'snow' used as the white sashing. And the prints are a mix of Bonnie and Camille's 'Bliss' fabric and Olive Tree Textiles 'Fandango'. The red polka dot is from their 'Bliss' line and the small print on the end is also a 'Scrumptious' print. Links to this post. Over Christmas I ac...

MintBasil: September 2012
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. Flower Garden September 2012. I have done a poor job at photo documenting my garden this year. Truth be told, the veggie garden went by the wayside while I spent most of my time with the flowers. :) I am OK with that. Zinnias remain my favorite summer flower. They are so reliable to produce large, colorful, plentiful blooms all summer long. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pennsylvania, United States. View my complete profile.

MintBasil: One month later.... introducing... Lillian Ruth!
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2014/07/one-month-later-introducing-lillian-ruth.html
Wednesday, July 9, 2014. One month later. introducing. Lillian Ruth! AND ONE MONTH LATER. we are still alive. And can I say how excited I am for a baby girl! Think of the sewing! Actually, at the moment I can't even begin to think about sewing but in the future I see adorable little diaper covers and dresses. :). But I have been spending a lot of time on Pintrest since I've been breastfeeding, so I am sure something creative will occur sooner or later. July 11, 2014 at 10:34 AM. July 13, 2014 at 10:38 PM.

MintBasil: Progression of the Front Garden 2014

Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Progression of the Front Garden 2014. Landscaping 2009- Move In Day. Lots of Hostas! When we purchased our home there wasn't much landscaping established. Which can be good if you love gardening (which I do! But bad if you are indecisive (which I am! But before we get to that, I had some fun looking through old photos to see how the landscaping is progressing. Spring 2011 Front Garden. I only weeded half the garden before my little Lily-putian started calling. I will continue t...

MintBasil: May 2014
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. I have a few projects in the works I thought I would document. In April of last year, I documented the start of these feedsack cross blocks. I also noted at that time that I had these fabric scraps for 2 years previously. Thanks blog for confirming my hoarding tendencies! But this is #3 on the list of WIP quilts. I need to finish two baby quilts before I spend more time on this one. I have a deadline on the other two quilts. 39 weeks pregnant today! Links to this post.

MintBasil: July 2013
http://mintbasil.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. Whoa Long time no blogging. I'm still kicking! I was taking some time cleaning off photos from the digital camera and realized I needed to document a few things here. My latest sewing adventures have included sewing with leather! I also discovered that I do not need a special Teflon sewing foot to be able to sew leather. My Pfaff 2038 with its IDT feature gets the job done nicely. A leather sewing needle is a must though. Adding leather to totes was a no brainer. I picked some fabr...
