Merry Christmas to all of you! Thank you all for your kindness and comments all throughout the past year. I appreciate you more than you can know. It just makes my day to wake up and see your sweet words and little jokes each morning when I log on to my computer. I haven't been […]
I know this looks pretty random, but I did whip up a few Christmas gifts yesterday. Three pillow cases for a couple of nephews and a niece. Cozy flannel for the guys and a Parisian print for the gal. I am really digging these pillow cases for a quick and easy last minute gift! […]
A few days ago, I came upon something that I thought was a very appealing idea. I was browsing away on the Fatquartershop.com and was intrigued by this Floral Gatherings collection. It is a little box of Auriful thread that coordinates perfectly with the latest fabric collection by Primitive Gatherings. How pretty is that? I […]
Ahhh. I am done. Done with the shopping, done with the decorating, done with the running around. All I have to do from now until Christmas is enjoy the carols on the iPod, tweek my decorations, and wallow in the lovliness of the holiday season. Oh. Well, I do have a few presents to wrap. […]
Honestly, I wasn't planning on making any Christmas gifts this year. I have enough going on, I told myself. But then, as I was going over my Christmas gift list, there are a few people who are just tricky to buy for. Someone to whom you would like to give a gift, but you don't […]

My local Savemart, where I typically can pick up my American Patchwork and Quilting magazines has had no sign of […]
You may think at first glance that this photo is the same one I showed yesterday, of my All Wrapped Up quilt. Nope. I discovered when my side borders didn't fit that I had left out three 2 1/2 inch lattice strips that go under the top three rows of presents. Argh. It seemed like […]
Um. Right. Yeah, I know. What were my last words here on this blog? Nantucket. I will focus on and finish Nantucket. But then, I was out in my garage storage area, where my project boxes are kept. I was looking for my Christmas wrapping paper when out of the corner of my eye, I […]
Poor Nantucket has indeed been set aside in the tumult of Thanksgiving Week and Weekend, but truly I have been thinking about it. Look, do you see? I even cleared my Antique Stars blocks off of the design wall in an effort to focus and get serious about finishing up Nantucket. Given a few uninterrupted […]
I am usually dead against blog posts that show what the author bought non stop, but I have to share this gorgeous fabric collection with you. Have you all heard of a shop called "Country Sampler"? Oh my gosh, it is the most amazing shop ever. Unfortunately, I have not been lucky enough to visit […]
