A New Look for the Blog

It's hard to believe that the header has topped this page for just over a year. What a year it's been! A new look will be greeting you on the RETRO-Fabulous blog with a few other changes to come {and hopefully a finish or two, too}. I always appreciate your comments and am looking forward to your thoughts on the new design.

Best Wishes & Happy Stitching,

Heather

Red & White All Around

To brighten my sewing room, I made a few

red & white accessories.

A new Scrap holder {next to the cutting table},

a chair caddy and a couple other

items to keep things in order.

Have a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

Here are a few flowers from the garden

for those of us anxiously awaiting spring.

It won't be long now.

Happy Stitching,

Heather

3 Triangles Today & Debi's Blocks

TR 1, BR 13, BR 12

Today was a great day for sewing.

Adding BR12 & 13 to the finished pile as well as TR1.

The triangles for the bottom row are finished.

That's a good feeling!

This afternoon, I made fabric choices for the top row triangles

& caught up with an old friend.



Debi B (aka Quiltinggirl)'s blocks for RSVP
look to be a fun variation of the Ohio Star.



If you'd like a copy of the instructions for Debi's block, called Sunrise Star, you'll find it here.
For a traditional Ohio Star, please click here. 

Thank you, Debi!

A bit of black and white fabric arrived today {I love fun mail}.

It has me thinking of yet another black & white block.

All in all, a wonderful day.

I hope yours was just as fabulous.

Best Wishes,

Heather

Two Triangles Today



BR10 & 11

It's SO nice to have two more completed triangles 

added to the mix.

I'm keeping busy in the sewing room as our temperatures

dip down below zero. The windchill is supposed to be

about 30 degrees below zero by morning.

BRRR! Perfect weather for some serious sewing.
