Things are going splendidly with my Winter White Schnibbles blocks.  I am so happy that I decided to scratch my first poorly executed effort and start anew with fabrics I had on hand.  Look at my blocks above!  So sweet. I have all my flying geese units completed and have been enjoying myself enormously, trimming […]

On Saturday, I woke, still smarting from my sewing fiasco of the previous day.  I lay in bed, fuming at my sloppy work, my lack of planning and my wasteful use of both time and fabric.  Then, I remembered something.  The lovely Cheryl, my friend from Gran's Quilting Place, had recently sent me some gorgeous […]

I took my trusty Singer Featherweight with me up to Andrea's and managed to get ALL my blocks completed for the Celebrity Stunt Sewing Gig I am involved in currently.  What do you know.  I did more than just eat all weekend long.  Wish I could show you the blocks, but shhh, they are top […]

  Do you ever get so caught up in the busy-ness of your life that you realize that you aren't really paying attention to that life?  One of the woman I work with at one of my jobs has a license plate that reads HERENOW.  Get it?  Here and Now.  She is a meditation/yoga enthusiast […]

I have been invited to do another stunt sewing project for my favorite Quilting Rock Star!  This QRS has many qualities to recommend her, but one that I appreciate most is her tendency to send a bribe a little incentive gift prior to sending the project instructions.  This time she sent me four Harmony Honey […]
