Thelma and I signed up for three classes in the four day week of course offerings the Buggy Barn provided. Initially, we intended only to sign up for the two quilt classes offered by Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts). Both of us are crazy for Civil War reproduction fabrics and […]
Oh, gracious, did I ever have a fantastic week! I travelled to Spokane, Washington to meet up with my dear friend Thelma of Cupcakes 'n' Daisies, and to take classes at the incomparable Buggy Barn Quilt Shop! Later in the week, our pal Lisa from Stashmaster joined us, and I cannot even begin to describe […]
I have to admit, I am getting a bit weary of summer. Yes, I know, it is sacrilege to say so. We wait for summer with such great anticipation and dream for months of ripe tomatoes and corn, roses, barbeques, swim parties… But it is June we have in mind, not mid August. It's the […]
I am really off my posting schedule this week. It might have something to do with how much I need to get done before I leave on my trip! My little zippy bags sell well at my son in law's wine tasting shop, and it was time for a new color line more in keeping […]
I know a lot of you are avid readers, as am I. Since I haven't done a book recommendation post in awhile, I thought it was time I share a few books that I have enjoyed recently with you all. I have never read anything quite like this book. The first words in one of […]
Can you guess what I am up to? Cutting, that's what. Got my instructions, my zip lock baggies for my pieces, my iced tea–I am good for a marathon cutting session. I am cutting out not one, but two kits for gorgeous Civil War quilts. I am going to be traveling next week to meet […]
That was fun! Thanks so much for attending my Stash Sale and helping me spread out the fabric love.
I was a very lucky winner of a fat eighth bundle of gorgeous fabric last week. Sinta and Sherri are hosting a fun sew along called "Another Year of Schnibbles", and have several sponsors who provide prizes to the participants of the sew along at the end of each month. My name was drawn and […]
Did I get your attention? How about that piece of cake, eh? That piece of cake is now a fond memory of my recent trip to San Francisco. This is called "Italian Wedding Cake with Seasonal Berries, Meringue, Zabaglione, and Berry Compote". Amazing. I had it at a very popular restaurant called Rose Pistola. In […]
I've been on a business trip, and this was the view from my hotel room. Seriously. I'm home and I'm pooped, but I will post again a bit later to tell you more about my experience! Anyone recognize where I've been?
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
