There is Velcro glued on the back of the design so that they can be changed according to the season. Back in October I made about twelve badge reels and she took them to work. She sold all but one badge reel that evening. Well that definitely got the ball rolling. I have been stitching badge reels like crazy since then.

I found a spaghetti sauce recipe and tweaked it to make it my own. It is very easy. Let me know if you try it and what you thought.<br />

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 of a Large Yellow Onion, chopped<br />
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br />
3 tbsp of Garlic, minced<br />
2 28 oz cans of Crushed Tomatoes<br />
2 tsp of dried Basil<br />
1 lb of mild Italian Sausage<br />
salt and pepper to taste <br />
<br />
Cook the mild Italian sausage in a skillet on medium high heat. Brown it until there is no pink meat. Drain off the fat. Set off to the side. Heat up the extra virgin olive oil in a stock pot on medium heat. Saute the onions, garlic and basil for about 5 minutes or longer depending on how cooked you want them. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Finally add the Italian sausage to the sauce. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
You can omit the meat if you want a meatless sauce. You could also cook other vegetables with the onion and garlic. We ate this over spaghetti squash. It would be great over zucchini noodles as well. <br />

Half square triangles are a bugger. I found a tutorial through Pinterest that helps make the HST's come out more square. (As long as you sew on the line.) I want 2 1/2 inch blocks. So I started with a 5 3/4 inch block of each fabric. On the light color I draw an X diagonally from corner to corner. The a quarter of an inch on each side of that line I draw a line. These are the lines that you sew on. The vertical and horizontal lines drawn on the back are cut lines. Once you have sewn all the lines and cut it up you have eight 2 1/2 inch squares. <br />

I made this shirt for myself not too long ago. It is red and I definitely stand out when I where it. The gold heat transfer vinyl really pops off of the red shirt. I have gotten a lot of compliments about this top. Love yourself. You are beautiful and exactly the way God made you.

I bought this gown from Ali Express. When I received it it already had white vinyl letters on it. Who would want a gown with someones initials on it? Weird. If you look real close at the second picture you can see the white letters under the fabric. I didn't want to waist the outfit. I bought this fabric at Hobby Lobby. I thought it would look good on the gown. I cut out the monogram that I wanted in brown heat press vinyl. All I have to do now is stitch around the outer edge of the rectangle to make sure it doesn't come off in the wash.

I am on a roll making onesies. They make great baby shower gifts. I created this design in Inkscape. I cut the svg file out with my Cricut and then used my Siser heat press to adhere it.

I spent a great many of Monday nights helping a very good friend make this Alabama themed quilt for her daughter’s birthday present. I had to keep it a secret. I was not allowed to share any pictures. This was very hard for me to do. I love to share pictures of the quilts that I make.</div>

There are twenty-four 12 inch crimson squares with white appliqued A’s on them. The squares in the sashing around the blocks are houndstooth fabric as well as the border. I quilted the Alabama themed quilt with my Juki TL98 using a meander free motion quilting pattern. The Alabama quilt is queen sized.</div>

I have been meeting with my friend Brenda from church almost every Monday evening after work to help her make an Alabama themed quilt. The are some machine appliqued blocks in the quilt. 24 to be exact. We have spent many hours on them. I told her last night that if anyone asked how much it cost to make them one to tell them $500. 😁 We started sewing the sashing to the quilt blocks last night. This is a sneak peak. <br />

I was searching my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/fabricmom/food-and-recipes/">Pinterest board of recipes</a> for something easy to make. With a house full of boys it is hard to find something everyone will like. I'd give this a 3 out of 5 star rating because 3 of us loved it and 2 didn't. I loved it and think most of my friends would as well. It is definitely a ladies brunch or church gathering dish.<br />
<br />
The recipe called for Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. I had neither. I used yellow mustard and 1/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar instead. It turned out great. They could of cooked for 2 to three minutes longer.<br />
<br />

I always have good intentions of making gifts for everyone for birthdays or Christmas. However life seems to keep my ADD mind going in 20 directions. I was pondering what types of gifts to make that would be easy, not require a lot of time, and be cost effective. Drink coasters seemed to fit in all of those categories. A quick Pinterest search produced a ton of pins. These are the ones I am toying with making.<br />

It is a great find. I like being able to high light the items I need to buy on the grocery list. Then check them off as I shop. There are blank lines to add items that aren't on the grocery list. <br />

He recently turned 5 and thanks to Netflix is obsessed with the power rangers. I am new to applique designing and hit a few snags here and there. I noticed a few changes that needed to be made after the first stitch out. It is a learning process for sure. I bought the Embird program for editing, digitizing, and converting applique designs last May. It isn't very user friendly for beginners. I have learned a lot over the last year through trial and error and with a little help from You Tube. After I stitched out the blue power ranger applique design I realized that the symbol color was wrong. It should be black with a white outline. Thankfully he is only 5 and wasn't bothered by this blunder. <br />

I designed a baby quilt called <a href="http://www.fabricmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Blue-Charm-Quilt-Paattern.pdf" target="_blank">Blue Charm Quilt</a> using EQ7 and wanted to share it with everyone. It is a very easy beginners quilt pattern. If you want it to have a scrappy look it will take 64 five inch squares. Charm packs would be great for this pattern. Please feel free to share this with anyone. I would love to see a picture of a finished product if anyone decides to make it. The link is to a PDF of the instructions. If you need a .doc or .odt format let me know and I can email it to you.<br />
<br />
Happy Sewing!<br />
