Sorry for the lack of posting lately.  I have had an unprecedented disaster with my email accounts.  They have disappeared.  I stopped being able to receive mail about a week ago.  No idea where my emails were directed–into the ether I guess.  I went through all the trouble shooting tips offered by Google/Gmail to no […]

I did receive a squishy package in the mail this  week.  I had to order more black fabric for the Log Cabin quilt I am making for Sara.  I like the Zen Chic Modern Backgrounds in Ink.  Turns out I also thought I needed more of the grays in that collection, so those should arrive […]

 Just so you know, I haven't abandoned Viola now that she is off my design wall.  I have a plan for a border involving half square triangles.  I got the triangles made, as you see in the photo above.  They all need to be trimmed to 3 inches, a task I know is going to […]

Seriously, the amount of time these blocks have been on my design wall is shameful.  The quilt is Viola, a Miss Rosie pattern.  I am so happy to tell you all that I decided to go with a 12 block, 3 by 4 setting, and use the finished quilt in Eva's room here at my […]

My Dad's Christmas wish came true.  He got to go home and be with his family for Christmas!  He is happily sitting in his special chair having coffee and reading a book. I will be taking turns with two of my sisters, staying with him until our sister in Wisconsin arrives on January 2nd.  I […]

I suppose stranger things have happened, but this is one for the books. I have a nephew who lives with my elderly father.  (Not Grandpa Larry, that is my husband's father).  This arrangement has worked out splendidly for all concerned.  My nephew has a nice place to live and my father has a companion and […]

  It took all weekend, but I did get my sewing room and upstairs guest room all organized!  My daughter moved into her own place, so I gained a guest room and more closet space for my fabric.  I haven't had a chance to miss Sara and Eva too much, because for one thing they […]

I am starting to think about Christmas, and it makes me happy. Of course I have just returned from The Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland), and have to admit, my general mood is pretty euphoric.  We had a marvelous time, and have decided from now on, if we plan a trip there, to be sure […]

Hi there, hope all is well.  My family is taking a bit of a vacation at the moment.  We had to postpone our planned trip to Disneyland back in September due to the fires, but rescheduled it for this week.  We are having a grand time.  Yesterday Eva met a great number of princesses, and […]

I am just loving making little seasonal projects lately.  I had the day off on Monday, (woo hoo!), and I was gearing up to get back to Viola, when I happened to pick up a book just for a quick look. Do any of you have this book?  I buy far fewer books these days […]
