Snowing in San Antonio, Tx

No, it's not really snowing in San Antonio..........but I can dream, can't I?

Living here is wonderful in the wintertime, but my heart always longs for the glistening sparkling crystals on fresh snow.

So it is that I'm always  looking for Christmas prints that have snowmen on them, or snowflakes, with glitter resembling the glistening sparkles.  Here's the post where I first showed you this fabric.   
I  also found the perfect white tonal with circles on it that look like snowballs.........where?....... in my stash.....amazing!  When I make a "find" in my stash of something that is just what I need, I get so excited.  Sure does justify having a HUGE STASH, doesn't it?     Here's a  couple pictures of what I made. 

Table Runner 21" x 41"

Here's the back of it.....simple wavy lines, along with stitch in the ditch... for the quilting.

6 Mug Rugs/Candle Mats 9"x9"

And the backs........with the blue plain matching the  scarves color on the snowmen!   Another stash find......ta da!

The Table Runner and mats are available for sale in my Etsy Shop.

Just Had To!

I love snowmen and always look forward to seeing the new Christmas prints in the fabric stores with fat, happy snowmen all over them.  I don't know why, but maybe growing up in Colorado and playing in the snow has something to do with it.

Just had to buy these fabrics the other day.  Yes, I just had to!  Did I need them?  Golly no, not really.  Did I want them?  Well, sure!  Did I need more Christmas Winter type fabrics?  Definitely not!  BUT....... I just had to.........had to buy them!   Does that sound like you too?

Besides, the snowflakes blue fabric has metallic silver, and the snowmen have sparkly glitter all over them.   Just like fresh snow with the moon shining on it....all sparkly and silver!  So...'Just Had to'.......

Made a few blocks....not very big!  Don't know yet, if they'll end up as mug rugs, pot holders or in a table runner......but 'Just Had to' sew!  Just had to! 

Today I'm going to finish up a table runner I started with the snowman fabric, and hope to get a couple more Christmas things going.  I've got to start sewing on some Christmas things for my family. 

Oh..BTW..I hope you noticed the new AccuQuilt button on my RH sidebar.  Did you?  Just click on it to GO see the sale deals  from AccuQuilt....you won't want to miss this one.

Just Doin' Stuff

What have I been doing here lately? 


Just stuff......stuff for Valentine's Day, stuff for selling in my ETSY shop, stuff for fun, and very busy with taking care of one of my cats.....Braveheart!   He's been to the vet 3 times the last couple weeks...jeez!   I made 5 lbs. of See's Fudge too....for Valentine's Day.

Well.....let's just talk with pictures.  I love to see pictures on blogs, don't you?

Raggedy Ann & Andy Rag Quilt using GO cutter rag die.  (Sure is fun to use

that GO die, so I've got another one almost finished.)  You can't see it very well in the pictures, but I did stitch an X in  each square and put a smaller square of flannel in the middle of each block...for extra warmth and padding.

And........I'm always cutting, cutting, cutting quilt squares and jelly rolls......have to keep them in stock all the time.

Black and white  5 inch  quilt squares cut with my GO cutter.

Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!

I have  good excuses for not posting the last 2 weeks.  First off, my camera broke.....(no pictures to post)...and just my words get very boring!   So, I decided to just do some work and more work...cutting and sewing, and quilting for my Etsy Shop.  

Bought a new camera (Nikon S4100) and just love it!  So, today I'll just flood ya'll with pictures of new things for my shop.   To find out more about the items, just click on the title above the pictures.
