(Winding Ways picture off the Internet) One of the things I love about blogging is the people I connect with every day. And Connections=Ideas and Inspiration. (Winding Ways picture off the Internet)I got a comment from Sharon of Grass Roots Quilting yesterday. That isn't too unusual, Sharon is a very cool woman who frequently stops by […]
Well, no quilts made in January. I had good intentions, and if left alone, I would have finished a baby quilt. However, just as my day was getting started yesterday, I got a call from a co-worker, begging me to take her shift. Her father's cousin's brother's neighbor's girlfriend was giving birth and since she […]
Am I lucky or what? Look what came in the mail from the Quilting Fairy! My personal quilting mentor got tired of hearing me complain answered a prayer and sent me a portable design wall she no longer needed. I am telling you, I have no idea, NO IDEA, how I ever managed to exist […]
Congratulations to Mary Kastner, the winner of Kim Brackett's new book,, Scrap-Basket Sensations!
I rigged up a temporary design wall to display some of my Belle Meade blocks. I stapled-gunned some flannel onto a light weight piece of foam and it works ok, except that it in no way is big enough for this project! In my next quilting studio, I am so devoting an entire wall to […]
I know, you think you have seen this picture before. But you haven't. This is a picture of 29 completed Belle Meade blocks! Woo hoo! My plan is to finish the last 12 tomorrow and start laying out the blocks. Thelma is ahead of me, but is patiently waiting for me to catch up. I […]
I do not even know where to start, Monday was such a big day! I had the day off and drove up to Sunnyvale, where I used to meet regularly with a group of lovely women for a sewing get together we called the UFO (Unfinished Objects). I really need to do that more often. […]
Mon Amour is what Carrie Nelson, the creator of this pattern told me I should name my little project. (Photo above is before binding was attached). Carrie's Schnibbles pattern is called Mon Ami, and is seriously one of the best Schnibbles designs ever. Since my recent discovery of a stash of Valentine's fabrics led me […]
I should have been working on my Belle Meade blocks, but I got distracted. I was stitching away and found my mind wandering to the idea of making some sort of Valentine's themed table topper for my February tablescape. I had a vague recollection of having some red, pink and white fabric stashed away somewhere… […]
No sewing going on even though I did have a day off. I spent it having beauty treatments. Very Essential Beauty Treatments. I told my husband that I had gone to Monterey to visit my hair dresser to have my hair colored. "But it doesn't look any different", he said when I came home. Well, my dear, […]
