Are you looking forward to Halloween yet? I know, I know, it is still Spring, why would anyone be thinking of Fall holidays? Well, if you have a quilt top and have a hope of having it quilted by then, you need to be planning ahead. I have a Halloween quilt top that has been […]
Do you keep a quilting journal? I keep a few pages on my quilting projects in an all-purpose journal where I track my reading, favorite recipes, and inspirational ideas. It helps me focus on what I have going on and my aspirational goals. This past year was a sad one for finishing projects. So many […]
This is my brother-in-law Greg opening the quilt I gave him for Christmas. There was a bit of a delay after the actual holiday until the family could get together for a gift exchange. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there because I can't leave my husband for very long just yet. I had given the quilt […]
Blueberry Delight is back from the quilter and I love how it works on my January tablescape. I love to have some blue and white in my decor during the period after Christmas. I enjoy the crisp coolness of that palette after the hectic red and green of the holidays. This pattern is free from […]
First an update on my husband's situation: Things are not going at all well. He is still unable to stand or walk and now is experiencing a lack of coordination in his hands and arms. His speech is also affected. The back surgery was successful, but the doctors think there is some underlying medical condition […]

I haven't been completely idle this week. You might not be able to tell, but I did get the top row of my Base Camp table runner sewn together. I plan to wrap this project up today. Love that Timber fabric by Sweetwater. On another topic, do any of you subscribe to the Fat Quarter […]
Oh dear. I seem to be suffering from another quilting-related injury. This has happened to me before, and I've been suffering with it for over a week. I am having trouble with that fat pad right under my right thumb. I think it is a soft tissue injury due to all the rotary cutting trimming […]
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the […]
I got so much done in my sewing room yesterday I can hardly believe it. Wait 'til I show you what all I accomplished. In the photo above, you can see that I got the lattice pieces all attached to the Summer in the Country quilt. Today I hope to sew the rows together. It […]
