My big news is that I have only two more vertical rows to sew for my Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt! That quilt is just humongous. King-sized for sure. As I was sewing a row together over the weekend, I noticed one of my twelve-inch blocks was just a mess. I do not know what happened, […]
With all I have going on at the moment, I have been trying to think of something, anything, that would make things a bit easier. Ten years ago, when my daughter Sara was pregnant with Eva, we got together a couple of times and made freezer meals. The idea was, she would stock up her […]
Even elves need to wear masks this holiday season. It's sad but true. My little elf turned up at my front door yesterday, outfit on point except for the missing mask. No problem. We got busy and got her fixed up. Have you tried the Creative Grids mask template? It is my absolute favorite. You […]
Happy Thanksgiving friends. I hope you are all feeling as thankful and blessed as I am. Even though we may not be together this year, I am so grateful for my wonderful family.
Halloween may have been different, but it was still pretty fun. We had our own Halloween party instead of the usual trick or treating, and I don't think any of us were the worse for it. Here is Eva seeing if Ozzie gets the concept of trying to bite the swinging cookie on a string. […]
Well, this is a first. Our annual family Halloween Party has been canceled. In the meantime….wear a mask!!!! Consequently, I won't be sharing my usual costume parade and Halloween treat recipes. Maybe next year… Back at home, Eva and her stepsister Sydney are carving pumpkins. After a satisfying dinner of pot roast, gravy, and local […]
We are having a super fun getaway this week, so I am not sure how much I will have time to post. My husband, Eva, and I are staying up at Lake Tahoe for the week. The weather is absolutely glorious. Blue skies, temperatures in the high 60s, and not so many people. Eva loves […]
I made up one more Moda BlockHeads block yesterday. It is called Broken Dishes, submitted by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. It is the 28th block in the year-long sew-along. Joanna used all reds in her sample block, so I followed suit. I chose the 12" size because I have been making a lot […]
After my crazy week, I managed to log in some peaceful time in the sewing room on Sunday. I finished the second sunflower block for the runner I am making. There is a really engrossing book I am listening to that kept me completely fascinated. The sixth book in Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series, "The […]
This is kind of a personal post, so if you aren't into that, feel free to come back in a day or so when I have other content. I am still with my dad. It turns out his issue with his eyes is quite serious. Six or seven months ago, he noticed his vision was […]
