Garden Party

Posted on February 3, 2016 by Sewfrench

AKA Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend II I started this (Garden) Party back in 2011. Then it got tucked away until I could come up with a better variety of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. It takes a 6″ square to cut each … Continue reading →

Two rainy days in a row…

Posted on July 15, 2015 by Sewfrench

You know what that means?!! Clean bathrooms, fresh sheets on the beds and more time to sew! I got the large portions of yesterday’s Quilt Math project sewn together. Looking through the camera’s lens, I’m not real happy with the center … Continue reading →

The Dog Days of Winter

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Sewfrench

I’m still reading Barefoot Sisters Southbound by Lucy and Susan Letcher on my Kindle. It’s not that it is a bad book…. It is a longer book, coming in at 480 pages. I’m still only about half way through it. For some … Continue reading →

A midweek update.

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Sewfrench

I finished another book, this week, Still Alice by Lisa Genova. This is a very mixed review for me. It is a novel, written by a Harvard professor. A neuroscientist told in the voice of a newly diagnosed, early onset Alzheimer’s … Continue reading →

Zippity Doo Dah

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Sewfrench
