I have an addiction....

I have been so good at avoiding buying more fabric and more kits.  I am good that way...and then one day the dam opens up and it's like I am buying stuff left and right.  Such was the weekend for me!

It started with Friday's inspirations and that darn quilt kit in my Etsy store.


Usually they sit in my Etsy store and the desire for the quilt goes away....not this time!

And then V and Co. came out with another pre-order for this quilt....Walk in The Park, Ombre quilt

I had seen this earlier and by the time I had looked for it, she was all sold out of the quilt kits.  So guess what I did this time...I ordered it before it sold out!  Of course I did!

And then we went to a wedding this past weekend and of course I found quilt store and of course all I was going to do was to "LOOK" and of course this all just fell into my lap!


Quilting Therapy in Liberty, MO is wonderful quilt shop.  They don't have much fabric but what they have is wonderful.  I would say that most of the quilts they had displayed had a very modern twist to it.  I had seen the Thrive panel online but it was the first time I had seen it in public.  

I had seen some of the things people were making out of it when it the market.  This quilt was one that Natallia and her mother Kathleen had designed.



But the one I really like the most were these placemats.  There are 6 quote panels in all.  I thought that the placemat pattern would be perfect for a smaller wall quilt.



The layer cake of Grunge Hits the Spot would be perfect for one of my Layer Cake Recipe Books:


Well there you have it.  I went from July to December of last year and only bought one quilt kit!  It is March and I have since added 4 more quilt kits!  

It must be the fact that I sold 3 quilts on ETSY and now all that money is burning a hole in my pocket.  Well until I get some quilts done...I am finished buying anything else.....
well so she says.....

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Sewing interruptions

Sometimes the sewing needs to get put aside for real life.  This is one of those times. My husband and I have lately been maniacs about our house remodel.  Early this year, what started out to be painting walls ended up in a total remodel of our upstairs... New doors, bathroom sinks, new bathroom floor, kitchen countertops, stained cupboards, kitchen tile etc etc It took us 7 months.  I thought we would take a break.  He wanted to redo the landscape in the front.   So out can 25 yr old bushes, a basketball goal etc etc I thought we would take a break.  Now we are repainting our house...in July...when the heat index is 110!! The mister clearly needs to leave town and quickly...  please someone call a water conference ASAP!!!

It's the fourth day of "I made it week"!

Well it is the 4th day of "I made it week" so I guess I need to catch up. Tuesday's choice was this easy knit shift made from fabric that I've had in my stash for over a year.   I thought it turned out pretty well.  I have a knit dress that I bought from Gap that I absolutely love.  This pattern from McCall's was a close fit with the exception of the neckline.  So I adjusted the neckline and it was perfect!   I chose this method for finishing the neckband.  In this dress I chose to stitch in the ditch (between the dress and the neckband at the seam) but the inside tends to turn out.   You can see that below: On my next dress I actually sewed the seam down by top stitching on the dress as the tutorial suggested. I have to say that Wednesday was a bit of a challenge.  The weather has taken a little dip on the cool side, not that I don't mind... but it did throw me for a loop on the third day of the challenge. All of the d...
