My husband had a fairly significant birthday over the weekend, which he wanted seriously downplayed.  We tiptoed around the occasion pretty well, but I felt that some observation of the event was appropriate.  So, I baked a cake.   I've been watching the PBS show Great British Baking, and even though I don't really bake […]

Hi there.  Lots going on here!  Plenty of recent changes in my life, and new adventures and challenges to experience in the days to come.  As they say, when one door closes, another one opens.  That has been the case for me this summer for sure!  Everything and everyone is good, and once things fall […]

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 […]
