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! […]
This terrific recipe book was in the package from Mary Wood (Scottish Nanna)–as if the blue and white appliqued table cloth wasn't enough of a birthday present to me! Her daughter in law makes them, and I think it is a fabulous idea. How sweet and thoughtful a gift this is. In fact, I have […]
My friend Mary Wood, who lives in Australia, sent me something quite wonderful for my birthday. She is just the most thoughtful person! Mary has a blog called Scottish Nanna–you should check it out. Stop by and tell her hello, she would love it. She has a large family–over 40 grand children (!!!), and is […]
When I got home from my weekend of gallivanting all around Creation with Sara, I had many packages in my mailbox. Smile. It sure is nice to have so many leads from all of you when I find myself short of fabric. Always Quilting, Snowy River Quilts, Quilt Patch Lane, and my friend Jean (In […]
I received a package in the mail this weekend from the very generous designer for whom I have been doing some stunt sewing. It came completely out of the blue and surprised the heck out of me! Inside the package were a ton of layer cakes, charm packs, her latest patterns, and a lovely note […]
Thanks so much for all the good wishes on my surgery yesterday. I feel very blessed to have such wonderful friends in Blogland! The doctor says the surgery went very well. A great success. I say maybe so, but my gosh, my entire face, including my teeth hurt. Good thing for vicodin. This should just […]
We love it when things come in the mail! Sophie was so excited as I tore the package open and pulled out this fun little gift box and envelope. Isn't she adorable? She has the prettiest face. Now if only she got along better with her brother Ozzie… Anyway, she immediately snatched the envelope, which […]
Best wishes to all of my blogging friends for the happiest holidays ever! I hope the New Year will bring you good health, prosperity, and many wonderful hours of sewing. Thank you all for giving me so much support, encouragement, and friendship in 2009. Just think what we can accomplish together in 2010!
The best thing about having a quilting blog? The kindness of other bloggers! You can share your work, see what others are making, exchange tips, join challenges and generally offer support and friendship to others who share your passion. Today I have a big reason to celebrate blogging. Yesterday I posted a picture of my […]
Blogging has introduced me to lovely people all over the United States and the rest of the world. If I hadn't started blogging almost two years ago, I would have far fewer friends than I do now. One of my special blogging friends is Susan Ramey Cleveland, who has a blog called Blackberry Creek. […]
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.
