On Friday, I went to my favorite quilt shop, Prairiequeens, for a day of open sewing with my friends.  I love that place.  I always feel welcome, and I always enjoy the company of the great employees, owner, long arm quilters, teachers and general hangers-out.  It is the kind of place that everyone should have […]

I love my Challenge Quilt fabrics!  I think I love all blended quilt fabrics, but I guess you all have figured that out by now.  This is the center medallion of the quilt I am making.  Please check out Cindy, Perry, and Lisa‘s blogs to see their posts on what they have gotten done so […]

We got the tree up!  My son in law was permitted to cut a tree down from the winery property where he works, and he ambitiously over-estimated the height of the ceiling in our living room…. This tree comes right up to the top of it—after about three feet was cut off!  It looks as […]

My package of fabric arrived from Vintage and Vogue.  I ripped open the box and spread it all out right on top of my cutting table.  This is the Real Deal.  The fabric for the blended quilt I am REALLY making for the Challenge!  The fabric (Marleigh by Benartex) is more gorgeous than my wildest […]

  I am still waiting for the fabric to arrive for the blended quilt project I am working on with my blogging friends Perry, Cindy, and Lisa.  I ordered it Sunday and it is Friday already and it still has not arrived.  Since I am completely obsessed with making a blended quilt NOW, fabric or […]

  This is not the quilt pattern I have chosen for the Blended Quilt Challenge.  Really.  At least I don’t think so.  But while I am waiting for the fabrics for my REAL project to arrive, look what I made with the auxillary back up fabrics?  Isn’t it pretty?  I love those calm blues.  I […]

The Fat Goose would be me of course.  Where did these four new pounds come from I ask you?  I have been working hard getting my holiday decorations out, and I am pretty sure I have missed at least a couple of meals.  Go figure.  I need to get a grip on it though, and […]

Even Ozzie has had enough.  He has been following me from room to room all morning long, wondering what the heck I am doing with all these arm loads of fabric.  He can’t figure it out, and I doubt if I could make him understand. Some of my blogging friends and I will be starting […]

I opened a treasure chest today.  Recently some of my blogging friends and I have been discussing a new Challenge we want to participate in together.  I don’t want to spoil the fun by saying too much about it just yet, but I will say that I went out to my stash storage area to […]
