And More Pillowcases

Posted on March 9, 2025 | 18 comments

You may remember from a previous post that I had cut fabric to make pillowcase kits for donations.

A lot of fabric.

And a lot of kits.

I originally was going to spread the sewing out over the year.

Then I decided to see how many I could sew in March.

I have lots made, and I still have lots to sew.

I don’t own a serger, so I have chosen to make French seams.

This takes me a little bit longer, but there are no exposed seams in these pillowcases, and I like that.

Spring is showing herself with sunshine and bright green things poking up from the soil.

It is getting hard to stay indoors!

We will see how many more kits I can get finished through the rest of this month!

Have fun and carry on!

Shamrock Table Toppers

Posted on March 3, 2025 | 14 comments

I have three small cabinets that have table tops that measure 15″ x 18″ and I like to switch out seasonal table toppers on them.

I didn’t have anything for St. Patrick’s Day, so I did some internet surfing and found Joanna Figueroa’s (Fig Tree & Company) Lucky Shamrock free quilt block.

I dug into the green and white scraps and, ta-da!

Three St. Patrick’s Day table toppers!

No fancy quilting; just keeping it simple.

I am looking forward to green outdoors, and I am finding some green shoots sprouting!

Spring is coming!

Have fun and carry on!

Sewing Studio Table Runners

Posted on March 1, 2025 | 11 comments

I adapted the Mini Charm Mix free table runner pattern to make two table runners to fit two sets of shelves that the Hubster had built for my sewing studio.

The pattern is easy to follow.

It also includes size charts for a baby quilt and a lap sized quilt.

Go scrappy, seasonal, or use a controlled color scheme…this works with it all!

I chose fabrics to match the sewing machine cover and the sewing machine mat that I made previously for my decompression chamber (aka…the sewing studio).
