Merry Christmas to all of you. Thank you so much for your comments, support and encouragement over the past year. You all add considerably to my life. I hope all your wishes come true for the holidays and the new year. I will be taking a blogging break until Jan 3, talk to you again […]
Oh joy. Be still my heart. Look what arrived on my door step. My extra blacks and neutrals for my Halloween 1904 half square triangles. And you know what else? Eva took a super long nap today and I was able to finish all of them! The stars are now in alignment and the cosmos […]
Thelma and I signed up for three classes in the four day week of course offerings the Buggy Barn provided. Initially, we intended only to sign up for the two quilt classes offered by Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts). Both of us are crazy for Civil War reproduction fabrics and […]
Woo hoo! In about a week I am going to be getting together with some friends and do some sewing! Mostly I am excited to see my friends, but also I wanted to get a seriously wonderful project ready to work on during the time that we will be sewing together. I am working on […]

"Honey? What's that strange light coming from the sky?" Oh, it's the SUN! Hello sunshine, hello. It's been dark for a very long time….We have had something like 25 consecutive days of rain here, and today it didn't rain! With any luck, we will have a few days to dry out before the next storm […]

How cute is this? Or this? Pam from Library Gal Quilts and Debbie from One Stitch Off have started up a little jewelry business! They have begun making these adorable stamped metal jewelry items targeted towards quilters. Don't you want one right now? Wouldn't it be the perfect gift for all your quilting friends? Tomorrow […]
Well, then think again. I am flying to Chicago today, to meet up with three women I met through blogging. Lisa of Stashmaster, Thelma of Cupcakes 'n' Daisies, and Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts. We all four met through blogging, and are going to meet up in person at the O'Hare airport in Chicago, Illinois! […]
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.
