I picked this pattern up recently, both because I liked the look of it, and because it is jelly roll friendly. Then I realized that the designer had featured the new fabric collection Martinique by 3 Sisters for Moda! Every season 3 Sisters reliably comes out with a great new collection. Martinique is their Spring […]
Did you all see Thelma's blog earlier this week? She showed some photos of a gorgeous Oriental Plate quilt that she had made. It was only her third quilt, and she used her imagination and math skills to figure out a wonderful border and a different setting than the pattern had dictated. When I saw […]
Well, I am certainly late to the party in collecting this fabric line. What happened to me was an excess of part time jobs that interfered with my awareness of all the wonderful collections out there. I am making an effort to get caught up. In the nick of time. The beautiful fabrics pictured […]
My next project. I will let you gaze upon the wonderfulness of this subtle palette for a moment. Let it sink in. Ahh, the soothing balm of a neutral colored color scheme. Mmmmm. Smell the caramel and the coffee? With a touch of chocolate? Yes. Just a dash of cinnamon, and plenty of cream. Sniff. […]
Thanks so much for your good wishes in regard to my eye issues. I think I am getting better. The eye is better, but the swelling has moved down my face so now I look like a big red pumpkin. Lovely. Beverly in WA had a question for me. She asked if the plastic storage […]
Rouenerries by French General for Moda is the most beautiful fabric ever. I haven't been this excited about a fabric collection in years. And I get very excited about new collections from my favorite designers on a regular basis. This collection is just so …different. Those are the faded reds and pinks above. Here are […]

There are two other color ways called "Persimmon" and "Tarragon". OMG. Really really pretty fabric. Check it out at fatquartershop.com. I am not sure how I […]
On Pay Day, I ordered a bundle of the new William Morris Workshop fabric that Barbara Brackman has come out with for Moda. I love William Morris reproduction fabrics and have a fair sized collection of them. William Morris was an Englishman who is known for his skills as an architect, furniture designer, author, poet. […]
Interesting comments to yesterday's post on the low tech way to do laundry. So many of you have the same memories as I do. One woman said that we must have had the same grandma, her recollections were so identical to mine. We always wondered what happened to Uncle Roger, maybe this is a clue? […]
My mailbox was certainly full of treasures this week! Remember my tantrum about a certain shop that sent me a collection of fat quarters that were supposed to be raspberry pink, but turned out to be purple, blue and everything but raspberry? Well, Allyson in Alaska read my rant and sent me a collection of […]
