We got some bad news yesterday that has been partially taken back today. That is Eva getting a smooch on the cheek from our Remy. (She was eating a cupcake and he had designs on those crumbs on her lips). Poor little guy has been limping lately, and his right thigh muscles have gotten […]
I still don't have a sewing related post due to traveling out of town for my doctor appointments Monday and Tuesday, but I thought you might enjoy the link to this post. If you haven't checked out my sister Andrea's blog Under a Blue Moon, and love cats, you had better go on over there […]
I'm back from my trip to Ireland, and yes, it really does look like the photo above! We had a wonderful time visiting our son and feel even stronger that we would love to have property in Ireland to live in for at least part of the year. We came home to a horrendous heat […]
Paddle Boats from "Best of Black Mountain", a Teri Christopherson pattern circa 2002. My six year old grand daughter is holding up this little quilt while I take a picture. She is holding a big piece of French bread in her mouth , which you cannot see, but she had to do something with it […]
I have a funny story to share. While my husband was having his surgery last week, I stayed with my father in the Bay Area. He is an avid reader and consistently gets new books from the family on every possible gift giving occasion. He ran out of space on his ample bookshelves some […]
Hey there. Sorry I disappeared for a week! I have been playing nurse to my husband, who had total knee replacement surgery. It was a long time coming, and we are so glad he finally bit the bullet and did it. His surgery took place down in the Bay Area, so I stayed down there […]
I was invited to a Memorial Day barbecue and asked to bring a dessert, and this one is an old standby. In fact, it is a recipe I think of as "retro", as my mother in law used to make it regularly in the 70s. She called it "Fruit Pizza". You use a tube of […]
Sara's Buzz Saw quilt is back from my fabulous quilter already, and is such a pretty, summery quilt. I could not be more pleased with it. The quilting design we chose has daisies and honey bees on it, which fits in with both the quilt block name and the fabric, both of which have a […]
Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Funny, I never expect much from Mother's Day, and am always surprised, humbled and grateful for the attention I receive from my wonderful children. My son Ahren, who lives in Ireland, sent me a fabulous paperweight made by an artist named John Deacons from Scotland. I think […]
I don't have a lot to show for my time this week. Lots of reading and fooling around on the internet, but not a heck of a lot of sewing. The blocks above are Block 33 and 34 of the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. I particularly like the block on the right, with its […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover. This blog is mainly about my quilting journey, but I share some of my other interests as well, which include reading, cooking, decorating, lifestyle, and my family. When I am not quilting, I am reading, and will share monthly book reviews in this space. I love to hear back from my followers and enjoy getting to know you.
