May be an image of text that says 'IF YOU SEE ME WITH A SEAM RIPPER NOW IS NOT THE TIME' Who does not need a smile at the end of the week? If you sew, you know!

Remember a Beautiful October, Apples, Coffee, Christmas Fabric

Turning the calendar page from October to November is a bitter sweet ritual. Yes we do still keep a calendar with appointments, events, birthdays etc, on the back of the door that leads down to the basement. Years ago I started doing this to try to not forget where I was to be when. Then with the advent of smart phones I began to let that habit go, however, Mr. Sewtopia did not. Therefore, flipping that used, scribbled on, and essentially defaced page is still like opening a new door to new days, new gatherings, and most of all new hours to enjoy the nesting season and all it brings. While likely starting the first fire of the year while making and baking many things pumpkin and cinnamon, it is now November. I like to look back on the month passed to remember all the touching moments that make up those special days. Of course family and friends are number one on the list but other thoughts come to mind. I have made a little list here, I hope it prompts you to recall t...

Thoughts on Quilt Care & Repair, Restore or Reuse?

This is a large quilt. It covers a queen bed and has a full row plus drape on each side and one row is tucked in at the foot. I think this is the largest quilt they made. What a glorious morning we have here. Of course, at 6 am my dogs are ready to walk and sniff our countryside. Heavy dew fall this morning required careful stepping on the hills. These walks provide time for me to think about all sorts of things, today it was my quilt collection. These reflections are partly because I am a little stalled in my quilting right now. So for inspiration (seems like I am always searching for the illusive spark lately) I brought out this vintage piece. Another quilt made by husbands Grandmother and Aunt, it was pieced and quilted sometime in the early 60's I believe. It still has all the pencil marks used to mark quilting lines. It has never been washed. 16 patch the borders and sashing strips are a type of polished cotton pencil marks, there to stay That took...

Our Cherished Collection Blog Tour

http://elegantmusings.com/tag/cherished-collections/ Our Dear Casey at Elegant Musings has a grand idea for sharing the special items we collect and cherish. I had a difficult time choosing because I do have a "few" collections. For this event I would love to present a small selection of Vintage Tablecloths. I have inherited some, found some in Antique shops, and some I really don't remember their origin. Some are in great condition, some show wear and some stains. All are cotton or cotton blends. Our tables always had cloths on them in the 50's and 60's. So here they are! This collection is from the 50's except for the floral 4th from the left, it is 60's. It has a little polyester in the blend. These have been used, some many times over and have some color fading. I remember husband's Grandmother always had a sheet plastic protector cover on her kitchen table to protect the cloth. It kept the washing and ironing down. I used to dress the ...
