Pam/NY's Favorites

About a year ago I responded to a call for quilt patterns in recognition of Cinco De Mayo.  This is the throw I designed:…

I like to interview my fabric before selecting which ones to use. I do a rough layout and switch different swatches or scraps then take a photo in the light where the finished project may be. This…

This morning I received an e-mail from Quilts for Kids saying they just mailed out the last boy quilt and are in need of more with boy themes.  If this is something you would like to help with or…

My granddaughter is turning 5 in a few weeks, and has always had a thing for mermaids.  I have a feeling she will love snuggling down into this mermaid bag with one of her dolls.…

My BFF has a quilt in the AQS show in Paducah. We have always said if either of us has a quilt there, we both go. There was a bit of panic when the shipping tracker lost track of it but it did…

I have been seeing lots & lots of pics of the Fold'n Stitch Wreath so when I saw a class was going to take place on it at my favorite LQS I jumped at the chance to take it.  It is one of those…

Our guild has planned it's annual retreat for mid-June.  Unfortunately, the powers that be have decided that, in order to make it affordable for all, we are not actually "retreating", but…

The Little Red Riding Hood costume is finished:…

I traded in my 10 yr old Janome embroidery machine for the newest model a couple of weeks ago.  Several years ago I purchased several clock designs that were advertised to fit a 5x7 hoop, but they…

It's a nice sunny day here but very cold and windy.  So I plan to spend it in my sewing room.  Yesterday was craft day here in the complex.  I took the snowman pillow to work on.  Another lady was…

Yesterday I spent a lot of time on this strippy improv as I want to get it to the sandwiched stage and ready to machine quilt.  Today, I've cut my batting and will pin baste it together.  They are…

For Christmas my DH gave me a slave.  Her name is Rhonda.  I've been trying her out for the last few weeks, and she has really met every expectation.  You just have to make a few accommodations…
