I hope my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We all have many things for which to be grateful, and as I sat with my family over the long weekend, I did some reflecting. Yes, we are very blessed: in our families, our quilting activities, the roofs over our heads. However, we have some quilting […]
Really Ozzie? What is it with dogs wanting to lie down on anything you place on the floor to take a closer look at? As you can see, I am well on the way to having my red and white quilt finished and off my design wall. As I type this, I have the top […]
Honestly, I was not sure how much I was loving this quilt until I took all the dark brown nine patches out. Then it changed for me. It suddenly coordinated better with the border fabric I had on hand, and was just more pleasing to my eye. All the un-sewing I did on Sunday was […]
The huge Christmas Quilt Give Away went great. I didn't get any pictures of the presentations because it was total pandemonium when we opened our gifts at my dad's house on Christmas night. Everyone seemed to like what they got, so that was good. Oh, and my widowed brother in law? Who I was […]
Hi everyone. I have to say I am overwhelmed with the kind words and expressions of sympathy I have gotten from my blogging community in the past couple of weeks. To say that I appreciate it doesn't quite express the level of gratitude I feel towards all of you who took the time to say […]
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness, […]
Certainly I have been enjoying the inside of my new home, and getting it decorated for fall. However the outside has many charms as well, with wrap around covered porches and a very nice view. I bought some red citronella candles at the hardware store of all places, and love lighting them each evening and […]
Well, no, it isn't finished, but I am making great progress on attaching the lattice on my Hill Country Baskets blocks. A reader commented on my last post that she could not see that fussy cutting the striped fabric for the lattice was worth all the trouble, but I could not disagree more. What would […]
Still working on sewing all those diagonal rows together for Message in a Bottle. I have two sections sewn together, and will get the five rows of the third section together this week. It is coming along! As I look at this quilt top, I am thinking what a great Friendship quilt it would make. […]
Wishing you all a year of peace and good luck. May all your hopes and dreams come true!
