Thanks so much for all your kind wishes yesterday.  I am so happy to relate that Grandpa is doing better! When Eva and I went to visit him Monday morning, he was sitting up in a wheel chair, and dressed in his regular clothes.  I doubt he dressed himself, but at least he was out […]

Hi there,  just a brief update to let you know why my blogging has been sketchy in the past few days.  Grandpa is very ill and has been in the hospital.  Over the weekend we had to move him into a convalescent hospital, as he is unable to do much of anything for himself.  It […]

So.  This is the quilt that my friends Lisa (Stashmaster) and Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) are thinking of making together.  Isn't this the funnest quilt you have seen in forever?     I saw it first on someone's blog (forgive me, I don't remember whose).  This blogger was using hers as a late summer, early fall […]

Just checking in to say hello and that I hope your summer is going well.  Lots of changes for  me this summer, but I hope to get back to quilty things (and blogging) by the end of this month. Enjoy these dog days of summer and  I'll be back soon!  

Hello everyone.  I am going to be taking a bit of a blogging break, at least over the summer.  I have some responsibilities that are going to need my complete attention for awhile.  I may post sporadically, but not with the regularity of the past.  Thanks for checking in with me! Do come back and […]

That would be All But Binding. It is hanging on the back of the Waiting for Bindings Chair.  I'll get it done by the deadline!  My red and white Gentle Arts spools block quilt (not bowties) by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., is the May choice in the Vintage Schnibble of the Month program hosted by […]

Every time I mention the Wiggle Stitch, someone asks me what it is and how to do it.  I have posted on the topic before, so I hope those of you who visit here regularly aren't bored with the subject. First of all, this stitch undoubtedly has a proper name, but I don't know what […]

Yes, this block is named Double X.   I should have had a clue, since that is the name of the pattern in the APQ magazine, but who pays attention to those things, right?  Traditionally, I believe this block is made with three fabrics, one for the red, one for the block background and one for […]

My book club meets this Friday and I am scrambling to finish this month's selection.  The book is titled "The Thread" by Victoria Hislop, and I am enjoying it quite a bit.  The story begins in Greece in 1917 and the plot continues up until the present.  It is a wonderful story about love and […]
