I am working sporadically on a couple of different projects. Honestly, I have it on my calendar to sew at least one hour a day, but it just has not been happening. I seem to always be going for a walk with my friend, reading a book or taking Eva to swim practice. Despite my […]
This is just a quick post on a quilt I have been enjoying lately. It is called Short Line, and is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. It was made with fabrics from various American Jane (Sandy Klop) collections, designed for Moda. It is a gorgeous quilt and although I have had it for […]
Do you remember me telling you about my young friend who made a quilt top for her older sister around five years ago? She procrastinated getting it quilted and it just sat in her closet for all this time. It became a family joke that she would never finish the thing and was the source […]
Ozzie and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the US, and a happy Thursday if you don't! We plan to go to a barbecue with the family, and my corn salad that I posted on a week or so ago has been requested. […]
I have been snagging an hour or so every now and then to work on some blocks I started a few months back. I am trimming off my triangles, but not tossing them. Oh no, this time I am being frugal and turning them into half square triangles. I used to scoff at friends who […]

This account will be devoted to my recently read or acquired books, which will be photographed on or with some favorite quilts. I will be doing […]
Since I have been spending most of my free time reading while at the pool or while spending quiet time with Eva, I figured it would be good to give you some recent book recommendations. The following books were 4 or 5 star reads for me and hopefully you might enjoy them too. The River […]
Some recent birthday shopping has been happening. My birthday was earlier this month and I was fortunate to receive some gift certificate bounty for Fatquartershop.com from various loving relatives. I put the gift certificates to good use (they are probably still smoking) and ordered two fat quarter collections. The one in the two photos above […]
I am really enjoying this sweet little table topper I made last year. It is "Endearments", a pattern by Betsy Chutchian. The fabrics I used are hers as well. I love piecing small block units and this pattern definitely fit the bill. Those half square triangles finish at 1 inch! It is placed on my […]
Those of you who have followed my blog for a while are familiar with my mischievous dog Ozzie. Ozzie is a 25 pound Welsh Terrier who has definitely made his mark on our family. Ozzie has been creating various degrees of havoc in my life for twelve years as of today. He has mellowed the […]
