I managed to purchase a book twice once again.  I am a big Jo Morton fan and tend to buy anything she publishes.  Apparently I was very keen to add this title to my library, but I think one copy will be enough for me. Each chapter focuses on a single classic quilt block, along […]

My first finish in quite some time.  This is Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern.  Fabric is Larkspur by 3 Sisters for Moda. I won't lie, this pattern was a challenge for me.  I used one of my Flying Geese trim tools for the flying geese, so those were not the issue, although there […]

I went to the dentist yesterday for a routine check up and cleaning.  I had been to this dentist before, but had taken an almost two year hiatus from visiting him due to various reasons.  I knew I was overdue for a cleaning so I bit the bullet and scheduled myself for an appointment. Let […]

I have always loved candles, especially scented ones.  For a long time I have enjoyed Yankee candles, but a year or so ago I started buying candles from Bath and Body Works.  The fall scents in particular are my favorites–apple, cinnamon, clove, pumpkin, fall leaves etc.  I moved on to Christmas last year and enjoyed […]

I am working sporadically on a couple of different projects.  Honestly, I have it on my calendar to sew at least one hour a day, but it just has not been happening.  I seem to always be going for a walk with my friend, reading a book or taking Eva to swim practice.  Despite my […]

Do you remember me telling you about my young friend who made a quilt top for her older sister around five years ago?  She procrastinated getting it quilted and it just sat in her closet for all this time.  It became a family joke that she would never finish the thing and was the source […]

The Temecula Quilt Company is always doing something interesting.  If you love reproduction era quilts and especially if you love super scrap-busting scrappy quilts, you might check them out on Instagram or their blog/website.  You will get so much inspiration you won't believe it.  The fun thing about them is that they always seem to […]

Do you all have a special box to hold all your hand sewing notions?  What you see in the photo above is my binding box.  I have my binding clips (how did we ever live without them?), small scissors, my thimble, and needle threader.  I would be lost without my needle threader for sure.  I […]

Sorry for the lack of content the past few days. I find myself in the grip of a cold and not good for much. Hopefully I will be back soon.
