Ozzie loves a Christmas quilt. I caught him napping on my favorite chair in the library, with his whiskers all askew. He doesn't look the slightest bit guilty, just sleepy and a bit rumpled. I wish I had time to take a snooze in my favorite chair with my current favorite Christmas quilt. But I […]
I made a couple more Magic of Christmas blocks over the weekend. I was rummaging around in one of the drawers in the sewing room dresser and discovered some 1" half square triangle papers, which I had not realized I had on hand. Lisa Bongean, who is sponsoring the Magic of Christmas sew along […]
I finished all my Zippy Bags yesterday. I think I must have made 12 or 13. They go fast if you get into assembly line production mode. Half the fun of these little bags is embellishing them with fun buttons. I picked a bunch up at Joann's awhile back when they were on sale, so […]
I can see the end in the distance! I have my fourteen or fifteen gift quilts piled up on the guest room bed, and all but five of them are bound and labeled and ready to give away. I will start taking some pictures and show you all the quilts I am gifting to my […]
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was quiet, but just right. I did get together with the entire mob of my family on Sunday for the occasion of my dad's 91st birthday. Gosh, can you imagine? He is such a wonderful man, and I am so grateful that he has lived a full […]
Goodness, thank you all so much for weighing in yesterday when I was having doubts about what to give my brother in law for Christmas. A full size quilt like I was giving everyone else or a smaller table topper? The majority of you by far said I should do for him as I was […]
You all know I've been having quilts quilted to give as Christmas gifts to my family this Christmas. My brother in law who lost his wife just a year and a half ago was posing a gift giving dilemma for me. Just before my sister passed away I gave her a beautiful quilt, which hopefully he […]
I spent the weekend preparing more zippy bags to give as gifts this Christmas. In one afternoon I finished two more and prepped 7. I need zippers and decorative buttons and when I get those I will go into assembly mode and finish them up. I started thinking of all the people who I might […]
I feel pretty good about my use of time on my day off yesterday. I got almost all the bindings attached to my Christmas gift quilts. This landing area upstairs outside my sewing room is my staging area for quilts waiting for the binding to be hand sewn down. And Lord love me, do I ever […]
Wasn't that moon something? Obviously I do not have a camera that does it any sort of justice, but I certainly enjoyed watching it come up last night. When I told Eva to look through the trees at the moon she said she couldn't see it, she could only see the sun. I explained that […]
