Catching Up

This weekend finds me catching up with Etsy orders, and catching up with all of you here on the blog.


My just for fun sewing has been a cute little log cabin pincushion


and working on my scrappy trip around the world quilt (the top is finished!!)


I have been making dozens of bunting banners and several quilts for my shop. Thanks so much to all of you who have supported my little shop ♥

I went on a road trip to Ikea for my daughter's birthday and basically celebrated her birthday all week long!!

I also have a new addiction called Instagram. I recently upgraded my phone and have been able use the Instagram app!!! If you want to catch up with me there, I have posted a link over on my sidebar.

The mailman just left a package from Amazon which contains Helen Philipps' Patchwork book, so I am going to go make a cup of coffee, grab a fresh from the oven oatmeal raisin cookie and decide what to make first!!!!
