Why oh why have I left things so late? What was I thinking? It is November and my son in law is asking me what holiday items I am going to sell in his shop during November and December. Can I bring a few things in for next weekend? Good question. Oh dear oh dear […]
Well, I think it looks good in black too. Today I did a bit of experimenting, and it is clear that I can make very good use of my half square triangle "mistakes". The red and white version on the cover of the APQ magazine I showed yesterday has the same lights in the background […]
I am really off my posting schedule this week. It might have something to do with how much I need to get done before I leave on my trip! My little zippy bags sell well at my son in law's wine tasting shop, and it was time for a new color line more in keeping […]
Well, this is a major bummer. It turns out Grandpa broke his leg. Saturday was the big day to get him moved into a little cottage near us, and when he was getting out of the moving truck, he stepped down kind of hard on his right leg, due to it being a big step […]
My Easter weekend surely was a mixed bag. On the one hand, we had glorious weather. On the other, everything that could go wrong seemed to do that. This was supposed to be the big weekend to move Grandpa into a little cottage on the nearby golf course. He got through the day just fine, […]

Well, in the nearby town of Douglas Flats, there is a produce stand cleverly called The Outer Aisle. This place is loaded with wonderful fruits […]
What a day. Skip this post if you don't want to hear about my poor pitiful self. Back to Urgent Care. One Eyed Nick, that's me. I woke up Tuesday morning with an eye that wasn't pretty. An eye that was certainly NOT better. Well, they said to come back if it wasn't better so […]
Hello? Heeelllllllloooooo????? Do I still have some readers out there? I really am a quilter, first and foremost, even though it may not seem like it right now. I have had no quilting related posts for awhile, because of my insane schedule, but that is going to change. I worked nearly 60 hours this week, […]
Not a heck of a lot of sewing going on this week. My hour a day plan has been temporarily derailed, but I plan to get back on schedule this weekend. My two jobs have eaten into my free time this week, as I have been putting in some extra time at one of them. […]
The clock over the pantry door says it's Wine O'Clock as my dad likes to say. Here I am, home from my day at work, which was a good one, all in all. Time for a restorative and a bit of a walk about the yard. Glorious weather today, it was. About time. Won't you […]
