Village Quilt Guild, Hot Springs Village, in October

Gay Bonner with her almost complete Bunny Bucket at the Village Quilt Guild on October 8, 2015. She did a fantastic job helping some newbies complete theirs, while working on her own. Thanks to Gay for a great day. 

Christmas gift ideas - it's not too early!

A mug bucket made of  silk or some other fine fabric will make a welcome gift for that favorite teacher or friend.

Tip for Sewing Vinyl

Working hard on the vinyl pockets of the new Cargo Crate pattern. I didn't have a Teflon foot for my "go to" Janome, so I covered the bottom of the presser foot with the Washi tape. Worked as well as any other. I cut little strips to cover the bottom part that touches the plate.

Dandy is my Name

Dandy is my name...for the new 4qt ice cream bucket. Dandy Bucket organizer pattern should be online Friday for sure. 

Thanks all for your wonderful suggestions for a name for my new 4 qt. bucket organizer. The Dandy Bucket pattern will

be ready by Friday for sure.  I decided not to name it Jitter Bucket Jr because it's so much more. Great things come in smaller packaging. A great way to recycle or upcycle.
