That is what my dad always says when we call him to dinner. "I'm leaping". As in "to my feet". So, that is what I'm calling my little quilt. Instead of 16 block squares, I made mine with 49 squares in each block. Just liked the added element of complexity I guess. They make a […]
Oh dear. I know I said I wasn't going to start anything new. I know I said I have way too many UFOs and need to just focus on one of them and finish something. Here it is, June 28, as I write this. The Another Year of Schnibbles deadline is the 30th. I have […]
I gotta get it done, I just gotta. The 4th of July will soon be upon us, and I surely would like to have this on my table a bit in advance of the holiday. Finished the quilting on my Doc Schnibble. Well, it isn't the greatest quilting job in the world, and in fact […]
The new Miss Rosie's Quilt Company patterns are now available! The pattern on the far left is called Bounce (sorry, I cut off the bottom in my excitement to take the picture), and was pieced by my friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies), and quilted by the amazing Linda Hrcka (Quilted Pineapple). I cannot wait to […]
Nothing major going on around here. Or maybe I am wrong and a lot of something is actually happening. I was Good Cop in my talk with Grandpa. Everyone else has been reading the poor man the riot act after his falls last week. I emphasized how he was incredibly lucky that he had not […]
I surely seem to be obsessed with my Fig Tree stash lately. Am I in danger of Figging Out? Well, wigging out maybe, but not due to my total immersion in this pretty fabric. So far, these lovely soft tones are just what I need to soothe my my raggedy psyche. I finished up three […]
Hey, everyone, how is your week going? My Wednesday was a lot better than the earlier part of the week, that's for sure. I finally said "No" to a commitment that has been making me unhappy and stressing me out, and I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off my […]
We had a marvelous vacation last week, and arrived safely back home in time for a little Father's Day barbeque. The lake in the photo above is Mosquito Lake, which we passed on our way home. Since it was Father's Day, we indulged my son in law a stop. He just couldn't resist. This guy […]
Tiny pins, tiny needles, tiny stitches, and extremely tiny thread. On this vacation, I brought along a couple of my Dresden Plates to applique onto background squares. I haven't done any applique for going on a year, so I was a bit apprehensive as to how quick I could get up to speed. Well, I […]
Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here! Yesterday we just hung out by the pool and relaxed. We took Baby E in the water and she loved it, the little fishy. Today we are planning a picnic at Fallenleaf Lake, and an afternoon massage for Sara and I. It is so lovely to be […]
