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 […]
I did some productive sewing over the weekend. I completed the four remaining blocks for Week 4 of the 4th of July at Granny’s sew-along, hosted by Heather Briggs. These blocks are the same as the two blue plaid ones I made first. However, the red fabric was a lot less of a hassle to […]
