R.I.P Dear Iron
My Iron went up in smoke. Literally. There was no flames just a lot of smelly smoke coming out of it. I tried cleaning it and rinsing it with vinegar water but nothing worked so I just bought a new one. Nothing special just a cheap 20 dollar one from Wall-Mart. I was in a [...]
Bloggers Quilt Festival
Park City Girl is hosting a bloggers quilt festival. This sounds really cool and I want to do it. Although, I don’t have many quilts to choose from since I have only completed three to date. I think my choice will be Ruby Reel, I love that quilt.

Color Scheme
Well, yesterday I said I would make a diagram for you and here it is. There will be two patterns going on: 1. The black and white diamond pattern with the background fabric. 2. A square pattern alternating black and white fabric with colored fabric. What do you all think?
Sewing
