Oh my gosh, I can't believe I let so many days go by with out posting.  I am starting to get concerned emails from readers asking if everything is all right. It totally is all right.  I have just been busy, preoccupied, working or just plain goofing off.  And sitting on my porch. I made […]

I recently got three quilts back from my quilter, and now my world is Bindings.  I live on the planet of Bindings.  I need to get two baby quilts bound by Saturday.  Sara has been waiting for her Log Cabin quilt for so long, I feel as if I have to get her quilt to […]

I am on such a donation kick.  I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to give away these quilts that otherwise wouldn't be enjoyed by anyone.  Giving a quilt to a child who is ill or a senior who has Alzheimer's can bring a breath of joy into a life that is […]

I just love these soft spring colors in the 3 Sisters Larkspur collection.  I have not bought any 3 Sisters fabric for a couple of years, as I was feeling I had pretty much done them to death.  However, when I saw how pretty this quilt pattern by Miss Rosies' Quilt Company was I was […]

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 […]
