We got some great news last week! Our loan has been approved, and all systems are "Go" for our move to Angels Camp later this month! I am deliriously happy and want to start packing boxes immediately. I need to hold off a week or two however, and get myself organized. We should take possession […]
OK, this is kind of a cheat, since I didn't really sew any of the blocks together this past weekend. I did get the blocks up on the design wall though, and am pretty happy with the look of them. Still need to tweak the arrangement of those dark blue units though. They need to […]
Bonnie and Camille are absolute geniouses when it comes to designing fabric. They have the Magic Touch, without any doubt. They can do no wrong when it comes to designing fabrics. This quilt is finally done! I used their Simple Abundance fabric line, which makes any project adorable. Love the cheerful summery feel of this […]
Lord have mercy, I adore this quilt. My husband looked at it and said, "Well, that's a busy one". Pie in the face for him. This is an adorable quilt. The "busy-ness" gives it a movement and complexity that is so interesting to my eye. First of all, the quilt is a pattern called "Rummy" […]
Thanks for your kind words during my pity party. Ack. I appreciate it so much. It is amazing how much it helps to put things into perspective. Lots going on here. Mother in law still real sick. Husband at the end of his rope trying to deal with aged parents. Beloved son leaving home, maybe […]

I dearly love to use red in a quilt. I would say that the majority of the quilts I have made have red in them. So, when I finally cut into my Morris Workshop and Morris Garden fabrics, I happily used the red that was in those groups. I do not know what it is […]
Nothing was going to stop me from finishing up this Sweet Little Blossoms quilt this weekend. The pattern by that name is designed by Margot Languedoc of The Pattern Basket. It is such a sweet and whimsical design, and perfect for the red, white and aqua nursery Sara is planning for Baby E. The quilt […]
This rose bush is called Just Joey, named after the 60's movie star Joey Heatherton, I believe. Love this rose bush. Every May it puts out quite a show in my back yard! My friend Barbara sent me an email yesterday with a link to the best quilt pattern company called Abbey Lane. The patterns are so bright and […]
I found a new use for the Lapel Stick! I rubbed it all over Ozzie's tummy and put him up on the back of a chair, and he stayed put for an hour! Please do not report me to the SPCA, I am kidding, don't you know? The Lapel Stick winners are Dietra Mixer, Candace […]
