I spent the weekend preparing more zippy bags to give as gifts this Christmas.  In one afternoon I finished two more and prepped 7.  I need zippers and decorative buttons and when I get those I will go into assembly mode and finish them up.  I started thinking of all the people who I might […]

Now that Eva has started kindergarten, I had my first free morning to work on whatever I wanted.  My free days are Mondays and Thursdays and I plan to make the most of them.  Well, that is my intention anyway. Thursday I got up at the crack of dawn, dealt with Ozzie, watered the plants, […]

I've always wanted to make this quilt.  The pattern is "Raise the Roof", an old Miss Rosie pattern that you can still buy.  I searched online and found that Homestead Hearth carries it.  The quilt is a combination of star blocks and log cabin blocks arranged in a Barn Raising setting.  The fabrics I am using are […]
