in stitches with deanna in stitches with deanna friday 27 march 2026 sewing room chaos i was determined to get something done today i took a pic before i got started in this pic there are 5 projects at various levels of completeness i worked on these blocks cutting the snowballs off and squaring up the larger blocks i then added strips to the snowball pieces this is a quilt we did a guild you get two quilts for the price of one fun to do but a lot of no thinking sewing 36 blocks all the same half way on my journey to complete this venture my old singer foot pedal started sizzling quickly unplugged it and let it cool down these old machines i notice that the foot pedal gets warm especially if you are doing a lot of chain piecing i took the pedal apart and cleaned out the cobwebs oiled the machine and was back sewing in no time thursday my friend natalie and i took a short trip to a quilt store sale the large paper bag is full of my purchases i will share more on that another day stay tuned for that and come back to see how many projects got done or if i got anywhere might be hard as the final bonspiel of the season is tomorrow at march 27 2026 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 8 march 2026 curling rocks brooms and houses yes curling has taken over my house this week watching the brier canadian men s tournament and getting some sewing and hand quilting done at the same time for years i would always have a quilt set up on my frame and i spent many hours stitching and watching sliding rocks i also skipped a team at my local club this week for ladies day we had lots of fun and enjoyed the day but sadly finished last after being busy and not home much this week i was looking forward to friday sewing was planned but only hand quilting stitches were put in place it took till saturday when my friend natalie was dropped off by her daughter for a play date i find some times lately i need a kick in the butt and today was the day we got batting sewn together and a backing made that quilt will be quilted later this week at natalie s then we started cutting up strip sets for a quilt for guild later this spring today i was sewing these triangles together fairly easy sewing but i know it is going to be tougher when i join the rows and all the seams i have to match one row done and 18 more to go i will be checking in with kathy and see what everyone is slow stitching today i watched her floss tube video yesterday and she has so many projects on the go how do you keep them all straight kathy it has been a busy weekend with international women s day and turning the clocks ahead i am wishing all the ladies in my life many thanks for all you do for everyone i hope losing an hour isn t too exhausting at march 08 2026 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 28 february 2026 hocus pocus focus with a little magic and a lot of focus on my part i finally can say the bear is done i was making a bear for a friend and it has been over a year since she gave me the fabric she is very patient there has been much procrastinating on my part quilt from 2020 honestly as i sit here looking around my quilting room i have not accomplished very much at all this week of course to get anything done at home you must stay home last week i taught a class at guild new kitchen counter top installed curled in a bonspiel on the weekend and this week has been more curling sewing with friends a day of shovelling snow fixed a sewing machine for someone and finally friday supper out at a friend s house that is quite the list guess i was busy after all machine fixed and ready the top of the to do list is to get my hexie quilt on the hand quilting frame after that i have strip sets all ready for the next quilt i am teaching in the spring and should start putting that together i have a small quilt from 2020 that needs a backing and also some batting pieces sewn together for it the next in line would be a quilt for a friend that needs a binding to finish it i may have to do some finessing to the sandwich in order to accomplish that so many things to do and seeming not enough time to do it more hocus pocus required hand stitched quilt top i also rescued this hand stitched log cabin quilt a guild member s mom pieced it and now it needs some tlc to complete it of course with it being hand stitched it deserves to be hand quilted my apologies for the weird spacing still learning how to place the pictures without moving my words all around have a great week at february 28 2026 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 5 february 2026 a little late this week this week got away from me and now it is thursday and i am just getting around to posting i am challenging myself to post at least once a week if not more so here we go with this week s happenings sunday evening while watching the curling final i accidently spilled very hot tea on me needless to say ouch i have a pretty red tummy and one bad scar you get the good bad and the tmi on this blog so it has been light weight shirts and sitting up very straight to keep it from hurting today it is finally itching so must be healing looks like a really bad sunburn guild quilt to finish sneak peek of baby quilt backing in the quilting department it has been a week of bindings the quilt i had machine quilted last week is bound and finished i believe it was a bonnie hunter mystery 2023 no need to rush to finish these quilts haha today i put the bindings on a quilt for our guild and binding on a baby quilt that i am making for a cousin to gift to her friend it needs finishing and soon as that baby could make an appearance any day i am going to keep a pic of it and share later once it has been gifted as promised here is an after pic of my sewing room i moved all the furniture and cleaned it doesn t look much different but my table is bigger and i have a side table for tools most everything else is the same it hardly looks cleaner but i have been productive this week i found many things while i cleaned some i knew were there and some that i had totally forgotten about ohhhh more projects next on my to do list is a memory bear i am planning to work on it this weekend on a good note i got to help out a budding quilter she is just taking a beginners class and asked if i had some scraps do i have scraps i also collected a cutting board cutter and a ruler wishing her good luck and hoping i have found yet another quilting buddy at february 05 2026 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 25 january 2026 january in ontario my pup snow the snowy month of the year is staying true to its reputation at my house yesterday it was 39 i stayed home warm and snug in the house cleaning i have been cleaning and purging stuff with lots of encouragement from my sister she braved the cold to walk the short distance to my house to help out i forgot to take a before pic of my kitchen but will definitely take a couple shots after the renos are finished today i was in my sewing room clearing and cleaning moved everything and oh my the dust bunnies it doesn t matter how many times your vacuum or dust i found many ufos projects i would like to do some cross stitch projects i had forgotten about and lots of scraps will show the after pic once everything is back in place stay tuned before cleaning next month s quilt project pine burr this week was guild meeting i showed the quilt that we will be working on next month i worked on it in september when i was in the bruce peninsula with some friends pics were so perfect with lake huron as the backdrop this quilt looks difficult but actually is pretty easy to construct and put together at the meeting the group was given a kit of precut fabric for a block called pine burr it was a challenge for most but i think everyone enjoyed trying something that they would normally not do i spent friday with my friend natalie and her long arm machine the guild made blocks in the fall and the blocks were sewn together to make charity quilts we made 3 for charity and the fourth one is the one we were quilting on friday so i have yet to put binding on it one more thing that i have forgot to post about my annual dump of spools that i have emptied over the year not so many this year due to the time i took away from sewing all summer hope that my little bucket will be much fuller next year at january 25 2026 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 18 january 2026 i am on a roll and when i say i am on a roll it definitely isn t in the sewing room this is my second blog post and i am pretty proud of myself this week there has been lots purging and cleaning of my house rather than sewing it is time for me to do this but i am doing it only when i feel like it or if my sister comes over and eggs me on no pressure one car load of clothes coats and other household things has already left and i feel lighter already i wish i felt that lightness in my sewing world i have a few deadlines that are fast approaching it is my own fault of course i will get to them all guild meeting is tuesday and it is my turn to show a project that i will be teaching the following month with all that comes fabric requirements step outs and necessary steps to complete the quilt i think it will be fun i will show a pic of the quilt in my next post a little sneak peek this is what we will be working on at guild so much fun to put together i am attempting a feathered star tonight wish me luck it has been like a snowy crystal ball here today with the snow falling i spent the morning outside cleaning up the snow from last night my dog loves the snow but loves walks with mom more happy shoveling to my southern friends up here in northern ontario the snow is still pretty to me as long as the snowblower keeps working at january 18 2026 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 12 january 2026 the beginning of a new year happy new year and i hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday i feel like i need to introduce myself and tell a little about myself as i have been absent for far too long i couldn t believe when i looked that it has been 1 1 2 years much too long maybe that should have been a clue for me as most of you know i lost my hubby in february of 2021 life goes on and and it did and so did i or so i thought after 4 years it all caught up to me and life stopped for a couple months this spring grief isn t something you go through but something that is with you for the rest of your life i am learning to allow the grief in because where there is grief there was a great love i truly believe that and hope sharing my story will help someone else so with that all said it took me a long time to get back into sewing i did do embroidery when i finally felt like doing something that lead to hand quilting and slowly i am getting back to my hobbies there are days when i just want to sit and do nothing and other days when hand quilting gets me going and i don t want to stop i have a few deadlines of projects that i have to get done nothing like a deadline to get you moving first up is a baby quilt made from a great grandfather s shirts a little hard as i don t know if it is a boy or girl after that memory bear finishing a quilt for a friend that her mother started and repairing 2 quilts that my grandmother made add to that some work for my guild i am part of the program committee and samples have to be made i am trying to make this year a positive one and year of small changes that will move me forward not with leaps and bounds but baby steps so come along for the ride with me and see what is going to happen at january 12 2026 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
