Aren't these purple batiks yummy?  I had a Bali Pop of 2 1/2 inch strips and made this over the weekend.  It looks like a quilt for a monk's cell cot, but it isn't.  The monks and I are on good terms, but are not that close.  What it really is, is a cover for […]

This is the quilting design that the fabulous Debbie Thornton at Prairie Queens chose for the quilt I made for my favorite quilt celebrity Rock Star.  Don't you love the design of high heeled pumps on the fabric Objects of Desire?  OMG, this quilt is seriously adorable.  I can't say too much more about it […]

It was a gorgeous weekend here in Northern California, or so I am told.  I wouldn't know any thing about that because I spent every minute inside sewing on my celebrity stunt sewing gig.  You see, as honored as anyone would be to be asked to sew for a major figure in the quilting world, […]

My husband and son are off on vacation together this week in Palm Desert.  Since I have no one to cook for,  I am making the most of the week by going on a diet.  Five pounds is all I ask.  Yes, ten would be better, and fifteen a complete miracle.  But I will settle […]

I have been procrastinating a lot lately.  There are several potentially really beautiful projects I have started, and then left off working on.  What is my problem?  I think it is that I have so many unquilted tops sitting around my house that it seems a shame to start another one.  There is quite a […]

There is an awesome little coffee shop right near where I work.  It is called the Carmel Coffee Roasting Company, and they do indeed have wonderful coffee.  What I like best about the place is that it is the kind of place you WANT to go to every morning.  The staff is friendly and if […]

I know it is probably too soon to put the umbrellas away, but I sure have been excited about getting some fresh Spring colors into my decor.  Have you decorated yet?  Easter will be here on April 12, just a month from now.  Even if you don't celebrate Easter, do you change out any of […]

  That was such an interesting discussion of whether or not our pets should be allowed on our quilts.  The general consensus was that they should be, unless they might potentially damage the quilt (due to sharp nails or a tendancy to chew on them).  We quilters are an open hearted and generous breed.  I […]

Several friends have remarked on the recent posts with photos of Sophie, and wondered how her brother Ozzie is doing.  He is doing just fine.  Same ol', same ol'.  I had thought perhaps he had given up his wild ways and penchant for chewing things up.  I had hoped that he had now settled down […]

Borders on, last seam sewn, quilt top pressed, photo taken.  I am done! Thanks to any of you who were interested enough to follow along with this marathon quilting extravaganza in orange!  I enjoyed it and hope you did too.
