I have been playing around with fabric, patterns and ideas this week. Quite often after I do a diagonal set (Elizabeth), and a lot of half square triangles (Elizabeth), I am in the mood for some simple piecing and a straight set. Here is a pattern I am thinking of making. Looking Glass by Miss […]
Now that Elizabeth is all done (except for those last borders), I thought I would pull out another piecing project I started a few months ago. My Mojo/Ridiculously Cute Basket Blocks. I had completed all but three blocks; 33 out of the 36 I needed for the top. But, what the heck? Where were my […]
Hope all of you are enjoying the long weekend. How I used to look forward to a three day weekend! And envy the Europeans for their monthly "bank holidays". Now that I am not working, it seems that one day flows into the next, making my life one long weekend. Whatever you are doing, I […]
Thank you for all the kind words regarding my shocking news of dh's lay off. This may all end up being for the best in the long run. Who knows? We may still sell our house for a good price, make our move as planned, and he could find a job closer to our new […]
Obviously, I need more structure in my day. Today it was rainy, again. I couldn't go outside and finish planting my impatiens and petunias. I didn't feel like making 12 Sawtooth Star blocks. So what did I do? I went from my bed to my chaise lounge and curled up with a book all day. […]
How adorable are these s—s? I can't type out the word because whenever I do, I get annoying spam emails from China, trying to sell me athletic s—s. Just enjoy the picture and imagine how much fun I am having wearing them. Comfy as bedroom s——s. Made by fs/ny and available through Zappos! They come in a […]
My friend Lisa at Stashmaster has posted a picture of a quilt she completed for Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie fame to present at Quilt Market, so I guess that gives me permission to post photos of mine! Months ago we both were invited to do some stunt sewing for Carrie on a couple of […]
Did you ever get home from a vacation and find yourself incapable of doing much of anything? I'd say this week has been pretty much a complete waste, except that I did meet with a real estate agent about selling our house. She liked the house but thought the yard was messy. I told her […]
If you are lucky enough to have a quilting studio all your own, then you are truly blessed. I am enjoying having a space all my own to create and dream. Technically, I haven't actually used my finished room yet…because I forgot to buy a chair! Ikea is no where near by, so I'm hunting […]
I would have prefered diamonds, but this is pretty good too… The Wine Maker finished putting my composter together, and it really doesn't make for exciting photography. However, it does make great dirt in 4 to 6 weeks. What's the point you ask? Well, compost creates a food source for a selection of life that […]
