Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Have you heard about the Snowmageddon that hit the Midwest? Well, the big city (KC), has been hit twice in the last week. Heavy snow is actually pretty rare here, but to be hit twice, with soooo much snow is really unusual. Today is the fourth snowday! I'm feeling a little cabin feverish, although I have been able to work on a few handy projects. First, I finished a crocheted scarf I started a few weeks ago. Notice my dress form? I found the Knotted Headband Tutorial. It's b...

All was going well until I reached the collar! At that point, I nearly threw in the towel! Honestly, I could not figure it out. I searched and searched until I found a tutorial for this exact sewing pattern.specifically the lapel collar, at Pleasant View Schoolhouse. Blog I could NOT have finished the collar without this post! Simple...

Wednesday, July 24, 2013. A Night at the Fair. Here is a copy of my latest post at Free State Quilt Studio. Just wanted to share a few pictures of my recent evening at our local county fair. I entered my Do Over Quilt. In the "Wall Hanging" quilt class and I won a red ribbon! That means my little quilt placed second in this category! It was fun looking at all the quilts as well as the other exhibits. It was even fun looking and learning about different farm animals! Guess who now wants to be an astronaut?
