Welcome to the 2012 Blogger's BOM! Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts is hosting a six month BOM program involving seven quilt bloggers, all of whom will be using different fabric collections to make the project.

Wishing you all a year of peace and good luck. May all your hopes and dreams come true!
Merry Christmas to all of you. Thank you so much for your comments, support and encouragement over the past year. You all add considerably to my life. I hope all your wishes come true for the holidays and the new year. I will be taking a blogging break until Jan 3, talk to you again […]
I am very excited about the Blogger's Block of the Month program that is hosted by Open Gate designer Monique Dillard. The BOM will start in earnest at the beginning of January (as soon as the holiday hub bub has subsided), and last for six months. Seven bloggers you may know and enjoy are participating […]

Doesn't it seem as though December just flies by? So many things to do, and the days are over before they begin. I have made some time to decorate, but not on the scale to which I normally aspire. That darn baby is just into everything, and all my decorating seems to be about four […]
I have started to get concerned emails from readers inquiring "are you all right?". Yes I am fine. Just super amazingly busy. It is hard to be a caregiver and accomplish all the other things your family normally expects as de rigueur holiday happenings. What exactly have I been doing? Caring for Grandpa, caring for […]
All I want to do these days is sew. I don't even need a deadline or a project with a near finish. Just let me sew. Production sewing is just fine. 435 half square triangles? No problem, I'm your girl. I have finished four rows of Lori Holt's Row Along and I like it just […]
