A Day at the Quilt Show!
I spent the day running errands, working on this new business venture I've slipped out in my last post and taking a trip to the Dupage County Fairgrounds for the Prairie Star Quilter's Guild Show! I'm almost official! I have just one last step before I can flip the switch and make the big announcement! … Continue reading A Day at the Quilt Show!

An Almost Design Wall Wednesday
This is as far as I've taken it this week... The inner border is on and the 2nd border is still in the works. Turns out these quarter square triangles take a bit of effort to get the points perfect. I've had to re-sew about a half dozen and use a template to line up… Continue reading An Almost Design Wall Wednesday
Big Day Yesterday
A fairly infrequent occurrence in my lovely part of the country are bursts of very intense storms.This happened on Friday afternoon.

Design Wall Wednesday – Almost There!
Progress is steadily being made on this Scrappy Saber Sawtooth Star quilt. I sewed the flying geese borders on last night and this morning. Now the only thing left is the outer border! Whoot! I think the darker borders make the blocks stand out! Glad I went with that... Till next time! ~Cathy
Headphone Cover Replacement Tutorial! – For old school earphones and people that can’t use ear buds…
Hi Everyone! This is a super quickie project. One I've had on the brain for a while but just this morning decided to do. Headphone covers! I'm old school. I have tried ear buds and other ear pieces but to my dismay, those usually hurt my ears. Jim has some super monster noise cancelling headphones… Continue reading Headphone Cover Replacement Tutorial! – For old school earphones and people that can’t use ear buds…
Scrappy Saber Sawtooth Quilt Update!
I had no idea this 8 pointed star block was also called the Sawtooth Star. I guess it all depends on what you grow up with or learn as you learn your quilting. Apparently it's fairly popular...so nothing new here. However, just like the Churn Dash block quilt, this block is super easy to make… Continue reading Scrappy Saber Sawtooth Quilt Update!
