What a lovely day I had yesterday. I hung out in my studio a good part of the day, puttering with this and that. No deadlines, no pressures, just futzing with whatever my heart led me to do. Since I am working on my Fig Tree Dresden Plates, I decided I needed a thread catcher […]
Ok, enough goofing around, shopping at the mall, and gazing vacantly into space. Time to get back to sewing! I have the day off for the most part today, and plan to put together some Dresden Plates. I love these pretty Fig Tree fabrics, and know my finished top will be so summery and vintagey. […]

Let me introduce you to "Memory", the quilt I made from Monique Dillard's new book "Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts: Eleven New Projects from Open Gate Quilts", published by C&T Publishing. My quilt is not complete–I have ordered border fabric ( for a narrow blue containment border and a wider red print for the outside border), […]
I'm really late this year (or is Easter early?), but I finally got out my Easter decorations. The little vignette above is on my entry hall table. The decorated wooden eggs I have had for ages and have no idea now where they came from. They had a little decorated wagon that they sat in, […]

Just a quick note to tell you I will be out and about for the next couple of days. My sisters and other dear female relations are going to San Francisco for some shopping and dining adventures. Hope to take some photos to share when I return!
I finished my little Schnibbles project for this month. It still remains to be quilted, and I hope to accomplish that in the next week or so. This was a super easy and fun project to do. Around 10:00 AM I started cutting out the pieces, and by 4:30 was gazing fondly at the top […]
Due to a change in my babysitting schedule for Baby E, I ended up with two bonus sewing days this week! I'm spending it working on a project that I can't share with you until the last week of March, because it is a secret 'til then. Don't mean to be a tease…Oh yes I […]
