I’m all caught up with the A Quilting Life Sew Along for 2026. The blocks above are January through June. Look at me, right on schedule. The BOM is hosted by Sherri McConnell (one of the nicest people ever), who offers a new completely free BOM each year. This year the blocks all have a […]
Isn’t it nice when things operate as expected? My quilter in Utah mailed a couple of quilts back to me, and they were actually delivered right to my door. After the recent massive fail on the part of USPS, it was a relief to receive this package as expected. Although it was delivered by UPS […]
It may not have been the most productive weekend, but it was adequately productive, if you know what I mean. I have a lot of projects to work on, but for now I think I am going to *try* to focus on one primary project. The photo above is my six weeks of progress on […]
I didn’t read as many books this month as I usually do, but since one of the books was 650 pages, I think I can be forgiven. The books I did read were, overall, absolutely terrific. There was only one highly promoted book that I did not care for at all. I just know you […]
Something happened yesterday that caused me to revisit the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery 2025 project. I had made two blocks in the sew-along and ran out of steam and interest when I realized that I did not care for the setting at all. Those sew-alongs are expensive, although they are a good value fabric-wise. […]
I only finished two more of the 4th of July at Granny’s blocks, but that’s ok. I need to be easier on myself. I got my nails done, shopped for the makings of Italian Sausage/Mushroom Soup, and read my book. All in all, it’s been a great day. Oh, I also walked with my friend […]
Hi friends. Hope you are having a good start to your week. This was a three-day weekend for us in the US. Memorial Day. I always find it strange when I hear people say “Happy Memorial Day”. Um, well, it isn’t really a happy holiday, as we are memorializing those who lost their lives in […]
Still no sewing. I’ve been spending my days reading some terrific books. Hope to get back in the swing of things this weekend. Meanwhile, here is another recipe I think many of you will enjoy. Boursin Chicken, a recipe I got from Belly Full (a good source). I have made this several times, and it […]
No sewing posts right now, but I did make a wonderful tomato pie this week that I think a lot of you will like. Do you try to cook a meatless meal every now and then? Maybe each week? I know I do. This week I tried a tomato pie that was both easy and […]
Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. Dennis and I have had so many errands this week, and we have ventured out together to take care of a lot of boring things. Today may be more of the same, but I hope to get some sewing in. The last Riley Blake Challenge block is […]
