Mom's taking a little break, but will resume soon. The death of my cousin has hit all of us quite hard. Still, we wanted to have a little content for you. If you are long time followers of my mother's blog then you might be familiar with me. Four years ago, my then husband […]
Hello friends. I have had a significant loss in my family and need to take a break from blogging this week. My sweet 21 year old niece has passed away after a three and a half year long battle with cancer. Our hearts are broken, our spirits shattered, and we need a bit of time […]
I am so excited to announce that the winner of the Victory Star quilt kit is SUE BABICH Congratulations Sue, I know you are going to love this quilt.
I have something so exciting to share with you all! As you know, I have been working on a quilt called Victory Star, designed by Paula Barnes for Red Crinoline Quilts. I bought a kit and took a class with Paula a few years back. Well, the friend I took the class with who also […]

Of course I had to read Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings, as everyone […]
When I was working on my Dresden Plates applique project a few months back, I had prepped three or four circles for stitching, using the clear plastic heat resistant circle templates, starch and a running stitch. It takes time to prep this way, but the circles turn out just perfect. There are tons of tutorials […]
Vacations are terrific, but isn't coming home just the best? We spent the evening unwinding in front of the tv, watching the Oscars. I hadn't been able to see most of the nominated movies, but certainly enjoyed seeing the beautiful gowns the attendees were wearing. My first prize goes to Lupita Nyong'o, who won in […]
Before I went on vacation, I had finished six Dresden Plate blocks. Well, three are completely done, and three just need the center circle appliqued on. I prepped three more blocks to stitch on while traveling, but so far haven't opened up my sewing bag. Who knows maybe today I will work on them before […]
Sorry to have dropped out of sight like that. I have been visiting the Happiest Place on Earth with my little grand daughter, and have been just too busy to blog! We are having a blast and I will be back to regular posting in a jiffy.
