Help. Family wedding this Friday. My hair has half an inch of grey roots showing and I can't get to my hairdresser. Can I do it myself? Do I dare? What do you think? Ooops. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sorry I am a bit late with my post this morning. Ugh. I have been suffering the symptoms of a chronic condition I suffer from–asthma. I don't know if it is the change in our weather, some allergen in the air, or just me, but I sure have been wheezy. During the day I get […]
I am so in the mood to make a purple quilt. I think every five to ten years a person needs to explore the purple side of their personality. I have made several purple quilts in my life, and I love them all dearly. If you haven't embraced purple, you surely must consider it. Here […]
Two quilts back from the quilter!! I am very happy with these two quilts, as they represent what I hope to do more of in the future. That would be more quilts that take some time and effort, rather than the Yellow Brick Road style of sewing. Now, there is not one thing wrong in […]
Good morning Friends. I spent the weekend working, so I don't have a lot of news to share. OK, here's something. This is Remy, my grand dog. My daughter Sara knows how much Rem loves to hang out of the car window when he is a passenger. She loves her pup, and surely would not […]

Some of you know some of the things I love in this life. Fabric and quilting, sure. Fashion and shoes. Ditto. Makeup? Well of course. All the makeup bloggers are talking about this new eye shadow palette by Urban Decay. It contains twelve eyeshadows, a dual ended eye liner pencil and an eyeshadow primer base […]
Thank you all for the fantastic suggestions for resources I can turn to for improving my machine quilting skills! I spent a lot of time on the internet yesterday educating myself. One of my favorite tips was from my friend Jean (In the Garden with Miss Jean). She said if you quilt a leaf and […]
Well, I quilted my Roundabout Schnibble myself. I did stitch in the ditch for the main body of the top and loop de loops for the borders. Now that I see the photo, I think it could use some more quilting in those remaining open areas. Let's just say the job was adequate. The top […]
This quilt is a shop sample made by someone connected with Quilters General Store in Rockford, IL. The pattern is Miss Rosie's Quilt Company's Route 44, a new pattern by Carrie Nelson. In late September, I will be meeting up in Illinois with three of my best blogging friends, Lisa from Stashmaster, Thelma from […]
