Last weekend, Mr. Wonderful and I visited Chicago.
It was my sister’s birthday and we spent the weekend celebrating together.
It has been a long time since I visited Chicago.
The highlight of our trip was my first Broadway play!
I’m sure it won’t be my last. Have a great week!
Even though the other house isn’t totally finished, I decided to start on this one. So far it has had a coat of spray primer.
My plan was to make one room into a bedroom and the other into a combination living/kitchen.
I decided to try out these kitchen pieces that I got with the big house.
Hmmmm….it appears that I don’t have much room here. Perhaps it wasn’t built to 1/12 scale. Time to rethink things a bit, but problem solving is part of the fun! And, thanks to Terri, I may have an idea. She suggested making this into a quilt shop. Since I don’t have any mid mod furnishings for it yet, I think I might do this! Long term, I still want to go mcm, but it might be a quilt shop first.
Have a great day!
This week has been all about longarming Quilts of Valor. This beautiful top was sewn by Kathy.
And this stunner by Nadine.
Have a great weekend!

This lovely top was pieced by Pat. I believe it is a Fons and Porter pattern.
This is the panto I used. It is available from Urban Elementz .
I love how it looks on the back.
Have a great day!

I’m back to work on QOVs this week.
I’ve had this panto for a while, but hasn’t tried it out until now.
I love how it looks on this top expertly pieced by Val.
Have a great day!
I have Part 2 of the quilt along hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts all done!
I cut some extra strips while I was at it. Just in case there are more four patches to come.
I also made and froze some tomato sauce from our garden tomatoes. I think there will be enough ripening yet for another batch.
And I haven’t shared any pics of this little girl for a while. Winslow has decided she really loves the sheepskin we brought back from Iceland.
Have a great day!
I just realized that I never shared this finished project. Remember when I picked this mid century bench off a curb? Turns out it was a design by noted Mid Mod designer, Arthur Umanoff.
After a huge team effort by Daughter #3, SIL, and me…..
It is done! I love the white leather that Daughter #3 chose, but I’m not anxious to work with it again. 😆
What a difference! It’s far from perfect, but they are happy.
Have a great day!
Mr. Wonderful and I went hiking at White Tank Mountain while in AZ. I decided to play with photos in black and white while we were there.
Have a great day!
Now that the messy work is done, the dollhouse has moved upstairs.
I haven’t been home enough to work on it much lately, but I was asked for a tour. So here it is as of now. You will see that there is much more to do.
I’ve had so much fun with this! I want to add trim around the windows and add baseboards, otherwise the house itself is nearly done. There is plenty of decorating left to do though. Someday it will have rugs, curtains, and pictures on the walls.
Have a great Saturday!
And they’re done! These pics appear rather washed out, but whatever.
They are very similar, but not identical.
I swear this backing looked gray in my sewing room!
I actually labeled them.
Haves great day! Have a great day! 😆
