Well, then think again. I am flying to Chicago today, to meet up with three women I met through blogging. Lisa of Stashmaster, Thelma of Cupcakes 'n' Daisies, and Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts. We all four met through blogging, and are going to meet up in person at the O'Hare airport in Chicago, Illinois! […]
According to what I read on the Internet, the official Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow, but it feels like fall today. I got the binding on my little Roundabout Schnibbles, and it adds a rather festive accent to the kitchen table. See that bowl in the center? That came all the way from Ireland. My son's […]
I am in the throes of getting myself ready for my trip to Illinois to meet up with Lisa, Allyson, and Thelma. We four gals are meeting up to take three classes from our Quilting Guru, Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. Now, this adventure is super exciting on a multitude of levels. First, […]

Thank you to everyone who commented on Sara's issue with the long arm quilter who switched the backings on her two quilts. I was amazed at the response from so many of you Long Arm Quilters who said you would do ANYTHING to make the situation right again for your customer, including picking out all […]
Sara called me in a bit of a panic today. You see, she had taken three quilts to a new quilter in her area, and had gotten two of them back. The quilting was well done, and it was expensive to pay for the work. She still has one quilt left to pick up and […]
I look pretty good, huh? lol Well, I may not be as cute as Katie Holmes, but my home hair coloring project did turn out ok. It is similar in color to Katie's at least. No grey roots showing, and I did not trash the bathroom. My hairdresser gave me explicit instructions, and I was […]
