Hurray! As a beginner sewist, I like my latest attempt, in all of its wonky glory, at quilting -- in this case, a fabric coaster large enough to hold a tea set. Who cares if no one needs a tea set fabric coaster? I made the coaster that size because I didn't feel like measuring fabric small enough to hold a mug. I like it because all the material came from my scrap heap. Last year, my husband spotted my heap, expressed a mixture of surprise and dismay, and extracted a promise that I would…

The Way I Do It……..
OK, this doesn’t mean it is the ONLY way – but after YEARS of creative sewing, designing, observing and teaching . . . I’m convinced that the process I share below is the best way (at least for me) to sew, be the ‘boss’ and have to have FUN while…

What has my lack of skill have…

Now that I have completed TWO of these great HASSOCKS (Bolster, Tuffet - whatever you care to call them)as gifts for my dear adult children, I feel there are some details of the construction and design process which, in addition to the pattern I (kinda of) used, Auntie's Two "A New Take on a Tuffett", that will prove helpful. BTW - I sell these great dense foam forms on my website (small: 14" hi x 12" diameter) or Large as I utilitzed: (18" tall x 15" diameter). They are definitely firm…

COMMENT to share where you go for your ideas - or if you just come up with them all on your own! I find shopping gets my creative juices flowing, pics help save those ideas, and then they become my 'jumping off' platform. On my 'TO DO' List for this week is to group/organize my snoop-shopping (which includes Pinterest, by the way!) …
