The Wish Upon A Star Blog Hop Is Almost Full

It didn't take long for the Wish Upon A Star blog hop to reach a nearly full
status with some amazing quilters.
Update: Wish Upon A Star is full!
There's only four openings left before I have
to say "I'm sorry, we're full" to anyone else who asks to join.
Send me an email if you want to play along!



There's just three more days until the Small, Smaller, Smallest blog hop...fun times ahead!


Look who's playing along...


Isn't that an exciting list...I can't wait to see what they've made!

It's A Wild Life March Block Of The Month

It's March 1st so that means another block of the month for
It's A Wild Life!

This time it's a block from Carla who hangs out at Creatin' In The Sticks.
She designed this block and it is so cute, cute, cute!

My version of Carla's block has the deer wearing a brown and white gingham.
I think they were dressed up for their date night...maybe.


I'll be using Riley Blake Design fabrics including Confetti, Crayola, Kisses,
and more from their other lines like gingham and dots. 


February - Maple Leaf - Sew Incredibly Crazy - Pattern info found HERE


March - Deer - Creatin' In The Sticks - Pattern info found HERE


There's a Facebook page for information and sharing, too.

Getting Ready To Hop And Other Jabber From Me

Next week is the Small, Smaller, Smallest Blog Hop...I'm really excited!
I'm ready and can't wait to see all the small projects that will be shown.
There will be many wonderful ideas and inspiration for sure!


I feel like my life is one big secret sewing project after another...
probably because it is. I know most of you know what that's like, right!
It's either a gift, a blog hop project, or something for a deadline or two.
Seriously, I'm always sewing even if it doesn't look like here on my blog.

A few little snippets of projects for the Small, Smaller, Smallest Blog Hop:
Maybe I'm walking on sunshine for this one...maybe


Is someone at the door? Who could it be?


March 1st means another block issued for It's A Wild Life BOM.


Hello, little birdie!


This snippet is from the April 1st block for It's A Wild Life.


There might be a little St. Patrick's theme for this Therm O Web project.
No pinching, please!


There's the 30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days Blog Hop in April I'm sewing for, too.
I'm on the list for April 17th and April 21st...I can't wait!


One project almost done, one to go.
Can you spot what I'm making...it's the Spot block!


Sign-ups for Wish Upon A Star are at 35 right now...only a few spots left if you want to play
along. Email me soon to be a part of it! It just has to be a project with a star on it.


I was checking out blogs the other day and saw that Colette from What About Rheema
had bought herself a cart for her sewing things. Well, great minds think a like because
I had bought one, too. My sewing room is small so I'm usually spread out to
the other room for cutting and ironing. My sweet rolling cart holds everything I need
in the other room...I love it! So, since you asked for a picture, Colette, here it is...


Right now it has everything I've used the last week or so to put a project 
together. Yes, there are lots of Therm O Web's Heat n Bond products in there!

See, I told you I've been busy sewing.
I've bored you enough with little bits of nothing to show,
but thanks for visiting and hanging around my blog for a bit!

Dear Stella Fabric Kimono Or Jacket

I found the cutest pattern to sew a kimono/jacket using the beautiful flannel,
Winter Cabin Artic Fox, by Dear Stella. It's such soft flannel!
I'm sharing it over on the Therm O Web blog today...check it out.


I love the colors and designs in this line of fabric. These are the three I used in the jacket:


The pattern I used is Simplicity #8172...easy and quick to make.


ThermOWeb Stitch n Sew Pattern Material is great for tracing the pattern and being
able to use it again and again. I will definitely be making another one of these!


Heat n Bond Soft Stretch Lite made hemming it a breeze and kept it soft, too.
The Oliso Purple Iron makes ironing fun...I love it!






Aurifil Thread – These 50wt colors were a great match to the Dear Stella flannel: 
#5002, #2910, #2140, and of course, white.


Therm O Web iCraft Purple Tape has just been released.

The New Blog Hop Is Wish Upon A Star

I've had so much fun with the blog hops and now there's a new one in May...
Wish Upon A Star.
This should be another amazing one full of beautiful creations!


The blog hop rules are simple:

Your project must have a star somewhere on it.
It can be a star block, a star applique, or star shaped purse..whatever.
It can be big or small. As long as it has a star, you're in!

Post your project on your assigned day.

Have a giveaway or don't have a giveaway. It's totally optional!


Visit everyone's blog on the list and leave a sweet comment.
