Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. Lots of time with family, what could be better? My daughter and her husband came over for brunch (which she mostly prepared), and we had a great visit. Later in the day, my son in law (ex) invited us over for a barbeque, and […]
Thanks for all your thoughts on what to do when you aren't feeling the love for your current quilting project. So many of you suggested putting the project away for now and picking up something new. The project you put away isn't necessarily a dud, it just isn't what you need right now. It can […]
I am kind of stalled out on this project, to tell you the truth. Not long ago, I finished a Double Nine Patch quilt that called for many nine patch blocks, and it was probably not the best idea to start another project involving nine patch blocks so soon. I have really been putting off […]
Hello there. Thanks for your positive comments about me doing a monthly favorites post. I think that should be fun. We are home from our vacation to Lake Tahoe, and our son Ahren is on his way home to Dublin. I wasn't so sad saying goodbye to him this time because I know we will […]
Had to share this photo of my brother in law with his newborn grandson. Have you ever seen such a sweet picture? This is little Jacob, younger brother to Johnathan. My new grand nephew. Born just a few days ago. Robert, my brother in law (the little guy's grandpa), just returned from a three week […]
I thought it might be fun to start a new monthly blog post of things that I really enjoyed over the course of the month. I'll start with this past month of April, and share a number of items (books, cosmetics, recipes, tv shows, household things, sewing accessories etc) that you might appreciate as well. […]
This sweet little quilt is back from the quilter already. I have to say I just love it. I hope to get it trimmed up and bound before i leave on vacation this weekend. My posting will be sporadic the next week or so. My son is coming from Ireland for a visit, and we […]
This is my other new project: 131 9th and Vine. It makes up into a very large quilt, without a lot of effort. No fussy blocks, no small pieces. All the 9 patch blocks can be strip pieced, and I am clipping along rapidly using my Bloc Loc strip ruler. This will be such a […]
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very […]
I am so happy with this little quilt. I do have the top together, but I ran out of time yesterday. I still need to attach the corner squares and trim the quilt edges to be square. I will share a full size picture when I get that accomplished. I won't lie, sewing these lattices […]
