I recently got three quilts back from my quilter, and now my world is Bindings. I live on the planet of Bindings. I need to get two baby quilts bound by Saturday. Sara has been waiting for her Log Cabin quilt for so long, I feel as if I have to get her quilt to […]
Six blocks completed for Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern I am making with Larkspur by 3 Sisters. Thirteen more of these full blocks to make, and then about as many partial blocks, plus some in-between blocks. This is a quilt with a lot of piecing. I wasn't sure how I would like these […]
As part of my Year of Finishing Projects, I have just completed my Tumbler quilt. I had previously thought this quilt was a finish, but after some reflection, decided it needed a couple of borders. I used some solid black for a narrow containment border, and cut up the fabric I had intended to […]
Oh dear, I have to admit I got side tracked again over the weekend. I was rummaging around in the garage and found a project box labeled Mystery Block of the Month 2013. When I opened the box, I discovered 12 completed blocks of the month in the 3 Sisters Peace on Earth collection, along […]
I have one test block made for my new project, Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern. The cutting for this project was pretty intense and took me a couple of days. I decided to make all my flying geese units with Monique Dillard's Fit to be Geese ruler, with means I had to figure […]

I wanted to share this little quilt with you. I had made it during a Spools sew along a few years ago, and never got the borders on it. I made all my spools with strips of different fabrics in the same color way. In other words, the green spool is made up of […]
Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so! The weather was spring like here, and we all gathered at my Dad's house for Easter Brunch. Gosh what a fun event that is. Everybody shares their signature brunch dish and we eat like kings. My nephew (whose wife is expecting the baby) made the salad […]
The following books are ones I enjoyed, but maybe are not the literary quality of the ones from yesterday's post. Lisa Gardner is a prolific author, whose books I am currently obsessing over. I started with her Detective D.D. Warren series and have read the following, one after the other: Alone, Hide, The Neighbor, Live […]
I've read some really good books since the beginning of the year, and thought I would share my favorites with you. The books listed below were my absolute favorites. I joined the Book of the Month Club in February, and have been enjoying it so much. These days, you pre-pay for your year's membership (they […]
