I got my Blended Neutrals quilt back from my quilter (Debbie at Prairiequeens) this week!  She did a custom job for me and is it ever gorgeous.  The quilting makes the quilt, as they always say.  Here is a close up of one of the blocks.  My photography does not do it justice, but you […]

Since I had to get all this stuff up off the floor so we could shampoo the rug in the sewing room, I finally forced myself to label and arrange my works in progress.  I can’t tell you how good this feels, to finally address my current issue of too many unfinished projects.  I counted […]

So, I woke up this morning and thought, "OK, this is the day I get organized!  All my UFO’s will be catagorized and sorted as to finishing date.  I will devote this entire day to that activity and my life will change for the better." I went into the sewing room, gazed around for a […]

I apologize for the lack of any quilty posts lately.  For some reason, I just have not gotten into my sewing room this week, except to sleep at night to get away from my DH’s snoring and coughing.  (TMI?)  I sure will be glad when this virus of his goes away!  I do miss the […]

Prairiequeens got in the entire collection of Posh by Chez Moi for Moda.  Debbie at PQ says it reminds her of a dish of melted Neapolitan ice cream!  I agree, it’s got the pinks, the chocolates, a touch of pistachio, and the backgrounds are a vanilla white.  I love this fabric.  Love with a Capital […]

This bleak little picture is of the iron in my sewing room.  No, I am not particularly proud or fond of this iron.  Perry challenged me to post on the subject of my iron, and I have to admit, it is a bit of a sore topic.  You see, this is the THIRD iron I […]

This happy lady pictured above is Mary Wood from Australia.  Some of you may remember that she won my leftover blocks from the Return to Sender quilt I made awhile ago.  A few people have emailed me to ask what Mary ever did with those blocks, and I am happy to share the finished project […]

It isn’t like me to be in a quandry about what project to work on, but that is just where I found myself last week.  Do you ever find that you can spend a day deep in thought about quilting projects, and at the end of the day, have accomplished exactly nothing except making a […]

Happy Valentine’s Day friends!  I hope your day is full of sweet surprises. The eye candy pictured above is the focus fabric and pattern for the next quilting project I am planning.  The fabric and the pattern are called A Morris Garden by Timeless Treasures (yes, I do occasionally fall for fabric made by a […]

I was busy last week and didn’t get to post quite as often as I would like to.  My sister who lives in Wisconsin was out for a visit, staying with our dad in Palo Alto.  I combined all sorts of productive activities into my trip up there (which lasted a couple of days).  The […]
