Welcome to Getting Caught Up
Hello, I am Lisa and if you haven’t been here before welcome! I hope you decide to follow along on my sewing and quilting adventures! This maybe old news to some of you and I love you for it! Thank you for sticking with me throughout the years!

I post on Instagram 
But my blogging hasn’t 
covered a lot of the items 
I have made!

I am working on baby quilts
this week for
new babies!




I am trying like other bloggers 
to get back in the habit of 
blogging at least once a week! 
Now on to getting caught up!



I finished this free pattern
from the Fat Quarter Shop
Fabrics: Patriotic ones I had in my stash 
by Patric Loose, 
I also used his Stars line 
for the back and Binding
Kona Cottons- Dark Blue, Aqua & Snow White
Thread: Aurifil 50 Wt
It is a patchwork pattern
and beginner friendly!

This is a FPP pattern
and beginner friendly!

one to a friend in Europe!

I wanted to share with you this vintage Brother Tingler 031
I bought at Goodwill Industries 
For .99 cents!

Stitches!

If you know how old 
this is please let me know!
I have searched the Internet,
even found a book, but not the age!

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks you Madame Samm Sew We Quilt! and Erin Sew At Home Mummy for being the best cheerleaders in the world. Madame Samm I love how you keep thinking up great hops! You keep us challenged, that is for sure! I love "Stitching On Prints" it is so fun! I tried out DMC Cotton Perle, Aurifil, and a pack of cheap stuff with great colors. The Cotton Perle is inexpensive and works pretty well. The cheap stuff is awful it is hard to pull through the fabric and I will not buy again. The Aurifil is just right. I hope to get more and start "Stitching On Print" a series. Where we work together once a week and learn stitches. I love the effect in the mug rug. April Showers Blog Hop Day 1! These are the Blogger for April 8, 2013. The April Showers Blog Hop is from April 8 - 18, 2013. Please stop by and give a comment for all their hard work. You can get the full schedule at Erin's blog Sew At Home Mummy Erin@Sew at Home Mummy Patty@A Stitch In Time Jenny@Squawk

Aurifil Thread Giveaway - Black and White

Let's talk thread! As Quilters and Sewers - thread binds everything we create together. Some will say the most important item is fabric, spend the extra on fabric, I say buy the best thread! Cheap cotton threads breaks and rots after a few years. Have a problem with your thread breaking try a spool of Aurifil 50 wt. thread! It may just cure it! Just a side note - if you have old thread that was given to you, use it as a decoration don't use it in your machine. Never buy old thread for sewing, it will just cause you a lot of frustration. When I needed a bag to hold my smaller rulers, I chose Aurifil 50 wt thread to zig zag the bag because it is strong and durable! I use white to sew almost everything light colored and that includes topstitching. I went back months searching my most used color and go figure it is Aurifil 50 wt. thread #2021, Natural White! It only goes to say that my other most used color of Aurifil 50 wt. thread is #2692, Black! Sometimes topstitching
