Do you have one? Do you want one? I am a huge reader, and have an ever growing library of books. I think I like the idea of not having to store more books on my already groaning bookshelves. I also like the idea of paying less for a Kindle version of a book than […]
According to what I read on the Internet, the official Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow, but it feels like fall today. I got the binding on my little Roundabout Schnibbles, and it adds a rather festive accent to the kitchen table. See that bowl in the center? That came all the way from Ireland. My son's […]
Thank you to everyone who commented on Sara's issue with the long arm quilter who switched the backings on her two quilts. I was amazed at the response from so many of you Long Arm Quilters who said you would do ANYTHING to make the situation right again for your customer, including picking out all […]
Do your friends and family ask you to do sewing chores for them? Do they think that since you own a sewing machine and use it often that any tailoring project will be right up your alley? No sweat, easy peasy? Yeah. Me too. And in general it is a huge drag. I don't mind […]
I took the lid off this project box, which I had neglected to label. My jaw dropped and I must have looked down at the contents for a good 30 seconds. How could I have forgotten about this? 25 blocks, in three variations. All colored black, white, and raspberry. I tell you, this must be […]

So, my laptop is fried and I can't connect my camera to my husband's computer to post any quilting pictures, so I am relying on Getty Images to inspire me with blog topic ideas. The photo above got me thinking about unfortunate things that could have been avoided had they been on my master DO […]
I don't have anything particularly interesting to share with you all today. I had the afternoon off, but instead of using it productively, I shopped for the ingredients to make an Indian Chicken Curry, and puttered about in my sewing room. The mess you see in the picture above is the now borderless red and […]
getty images Hey, Quilters! Isn't this a fun image for fall? Does the season influence the fabrics you choose to work with? Have you ever made a fall leaf quilt? I have made a couple of them. My first effort was quite exciting for me. I made it 15 years ago or so, after a […]
