Love this.

I DESPERATELY want to make this!  Love it!  I want to make one for every season, maybe even a longer one to use on a dresser or kitchen buffet.  Stay tuned for me to make one million.

Table Runner Tutorial-Diary of a Quilter

Umm...Fail

So I was in the mood to make something small, useful, and cute.  Whenever I'm at Target (love), I always want to buy curling or straightening iron covers.  Let's face it, I'm not a neat organized person, much as I wish I were.  So when I found this pattern, I thought it was perfect!
Rubies and Pearls Flat Iron Cozy

So I grabbed my adorable purple material....

 

Love Hobby Lobby

 And I got to work.  Apparently you should follow the instructions and not make it using leftover yellow felt (I seriously have YARDS of it left after a HS Bowser costume project...ugh) as the batting instead of , well, batting.  My sewing machine and I had a fight.  I brought out the walking foot.  It gurlged at me.  I sewed by twisting the wheel on the side.  The case ended up looking a little strange....

Why does this look wrong?

 I mean, it does fit the curling iron, but I can't help feeling that it looks strange.  Not to self, don't substitute felt for batting again!!

Ode to the Sweet Tea

 

What do I need in order to quilt well, be inspired and work hard?  Oh, the deliciousness known as McDonald's Sweet Tea.  Yum....Don't know if it's a preggo craving or if I'm just obsessed with it.  Probably both.  That and the Office on Netflix is all I need to start procrastinating other things quilting. 

THE Singer

Where did I get the name for this blog?
1.  I love pink sparkly things.
2.  My original pick was taken by some other selfish blogger.
3.  I am a singer (thanks ONU!), and choir teacher by trade.
4.  My sewing machine is a Singer.  I've had it since I was in middle school.  I have used it more in the last month than I have since I've owned it.

Ain't she pretty?
