I found a new use for the Lapel Stick! I rubbed it all over Ozzie's tummy and put him up on the back of a chair, and he stayed put for an hour! Please do not report me to the SPCA, I am kidding, don't you know? The Lapel Stick winners are Dietra Mixer, Candace […]
This is the newest fabric release from French General– Pom Pom de Paris. Very French. Very pretty. I love the pale pink, the yellow, and of course, the faded red. Thinking it might make a mighty fine baby quilt. But of course, that is the way my mind is working these days! This has been […]
I try to be articulate and super clear in my writing, but it seems that I failed in my recent post on the simplification of quilting that is perceived by some to be a current trend. I did not intend to make a one sided argument in favor of only making simple quilts. To clarify, […]
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to share my amazing corned beef and cabbage recipe with you. I don't have a picture of my last effort, but the picture above that I got off the internet gives you an idea. This recipe is the only, the best, the greatest corned beef recipe you will ever eat. I […]
It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am about to release my inner PINK. We won't get to meet our little one until July, so I have plenty of time!

Mon Amour is what Carrie Nelson, the creator of this pattern told me I should name my little project. (Photo above is before binding was attached). Carrie's Schnibbles pattern is called Mon Ami, and is seriously one of the best Schnibbles designs ever. Since my recent discovery of a stash of Valentine's fabrics led me […]
2010 was a pretty good year for quilts, I guess. I realize now that I had a major dry spell during part of the year when we were getting our house ready to sell and when we had it listed for sale. Even though I didn't accomplish as much as I would have liked, I […]
I am looking ahead to 2011 and the various projects that will occupy my attention and time. This embroidery project is one of them. My sister Andrea and I want to join in an ongoing embroidery group that meets once a month at my favorite quilt shop, Prairie Queens. April leads a group of women […]
