One Monthly Goal With ElmStreet Quilts!
I am so glad I found the #ICYPOLESSAL SEW-A-LONG with SAID WITH LOVE. It was so exciting to pick out the fabrics… the vest will be made from Penguin fabrics from my stash. But my heart sank a little when I figured out, to be able to finish my Penguin Part Quilt Top by the…
Penguin Party! #icypolessal A Sew-a-Long with SAID WITH LOVE

Then I spotted an Artic themed sew-a-long with Said With Love, a knew that was the push I needed to make my Penguin Party…
Ready To Roll Sugar Cookies

That Time I met a YouTube Celebrity who saved her town with Quilts
I started writing this post back in 2015… and it has been sitting in my “drafts” until now. Oops. I was very excited to meet Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Co a few years back… just look at my face! Back then she was starting to make YouTube quilting videos using Pre-Cuts (which I…

DIY Chunky Knit Cowl- A Step by Step Guide
I finished my airplane-ride-to-Charlotte knitting project! As in I DIDN’T just throw the half/completed project on a shelf to finish at a later date! Done. Ready to wear. Except, it is 104° outside.

Hooray! It’s that time of year when berries are in season! Right now, a pint of Blueberries is only $1 at Kroger (as opposed to $4-5 during the winter). Luckily, berries freeze well, so it’s a good time to stock up. By comparison, the same amount of “Kroger brand” blueberries bought in the freezer section…
Be an Advocate for Craft Beer in Texas
It has come to my attention that many of the Craft Beer Bars in Houston, including The Petrol Station, Flying Saucer, Hay Merchant, and Mongoose versus Cobra are removing some wonderful craft beers from their menus… for the time being. These local establishments are now boycotting the distributor Silver Eagle (“The Budweiser Distributor”). This means that…
