It is with a rather large feeling of relief that I tell you that my red and white quilt is finally a finish. The blocks started out as a Christmas sew along sponsored by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew along was just a jumping off point for me, as I made a […]
Really Ozzie? What is it with dogs wanting to lie down on anything you place on the floor to take a closer look at? As you can see, I am well on the way to having my red and white quilt finished and off my design wall. As I type this, I have the top […]
Hello friends, hope you all had a great weekend and are getting used to Daylight Savings Time. As I write this, it is only 3:00 in the afternoon and I am thinking I should turn on the lights inside. It always takes me awhile to get used to the time change. Ozzie, not so […]
Hey everyone. Can you believe it’s November already? I won’t say “What happened to October?”, because I enjoyed every second of it. Glorious weather, and I appreciated being in my home and having my family near. Honestly, every day was perfect. I spent yesterday doing a clean up around the place. I put away all […]
Once more we gathered for my family's Annual Halloween Party over the weekend. I think it's been more than 34 years that we have been doing this, but who's counting? That is my little family portrait above. It would be perfect for our Christmas cards, don't you think? My husband is a Pharaoh, my daughter […]

Lately I have been wondering where on earth my day goes. It goes, that is for sure, and I have been feeling I don't have much to show for it. I was struggling with finding a topic to blog about, since I have not been sewing, when it occurred to me that I should just […]
Can you believe how gorgeous this fabric collection is? It is Spice It Up by Jo Morton, designed for Moda. The colors are my favorite warm autumn tones, and I can think of so many projects that this fabric would be perfect for. If you are a collector of Jo's fabrics, you know that her […]
Here is a little sideways view of my almost completed red and white Christmas quilt. I have been getting up into the sewing room sporadically and making the rest of the flying geese. Only three more strips of ten geese to go, then I will assemble the sections. The final step will be to add […]
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating […]
