Instant Gratification

For those of us who sew it is often the process of cutting a piece of fabric and then sitting down at the sewing machine and actually stitching those pieces back together that gives us a sense of satisfaction, joy and peace.

It's exciting to see something wonderful take shape.

It's calming
It's theraputic
It keeps us from strangling someone



I love making quilts, but they take so L-O-N-G to complete.
Sometimes I just want to sew.  I don't want to think about quarter inch seams or the "big picture" of what a quilt will look like when it is complete.  I just want to sew something, and finish it FAST!

Enter fast, easy, fun stuff to sew....

Pillow Cases

I was never going to be one of  "those people" who keeps their vitamins and supplements on their counter top.... too cluttered and tacky (I thought.)  Problem is, if I don't SEE them I won't TAKE them.  What to do? What to do?   The Answer.... Cloth Baskets   fast and easy.

Cloth Napkins

 I've often wondered about cloth napkins...is it better to use them and save the paper...or, use paper napkins and save water???  You decide.  I use cloth napkins, I just like them.
