Quintessential Wallet

 I've started the Quintessential Wallet from Sweet Pea.  The pieces are each done in the hoop on my embroidery machine and then sewn together.  I barely had enough fabric to make this. I have all the pieces ready to sew together. This will be pretty simple until I get to the gusset. We will see how it goes!



If you have made this wallet leave a comment and let me know how it went together for you. 

The next project I need to get going on the the Chandelier quilt. It is a free pattern and you can find it by going to Lella Boutique

 We recently got back from a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaii is my favorite vacation destination.  This year our trip just happened to fall during national coffee week and the Big Island of Hawaii is known for their Kona coffee! We visited two coffee plantations, Holualoa Kona Coffee Company and Ka'u Coffee Mill. These are two of our favorites and yes we bought some coffee to bring home.

It is  a place of refuge and royal grounds south of Kealakekua Bay.  I did manage to get a little crafting in while ...

I have some health challenges so I want to be as healthy as I can be and so that means losing the last 15 pounds that I have been trying to get off and getting stronger. Another improvement I will be working on is posting to this blog more frequently.  I would like to say regularly but sometimes life just gets in the way. I have an aging parent that is starting to need more help from my husband and I.  I would also like to improve or increase the number of sewing/quilting projects this year and complete this nagging stack of UFO's that keep staring me in the face asking me to finish them.  Here's the list of UFO's that need to be completed: 1. XOXO quilted wall hanging 2. Succulent pillow 3. Dad's table runner 4. Chandelier quilt 5. Christmas quilt 6. Starry Night diamond painting I'm sure there's a couple more p...
