I lied yesterday when I said I had a hundred flying geese to make. More like 76, it turns out. And they are big devils, 3 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. I have all my units cut out and organized and ready to go. I know I should get going on them, and sew […]
You have seen it in previous posts. This is my Goose in the Pond block that is featured in the Miss Rosie quilt called "Toulouse" that I am working on along with Lisa and Thelma. I only had to make nine of them for the quilt top. Very simple components–you just can't go wrong. Except […]
My Red and White Snowball quilt is finished! This was such a fun challenge, from start to finish. What made it the best experience was having all you quilting friends sew along with Allyson, Thelma and me! This quilt is a real winner and will be a current favorite of mine. Kudos to Allyson […]
Last night Sophie went missing. I won't say she was lost, because she knew precisely where she was. It had been pouring rain and hail all day long and she really needed to get out for a minute now that the rain had let up. My son was packing his truck for the trip back […]
Typepad issues today. I have a help ticket going–hope to be back up and running soon!
We are having a super rainy day here in the Monterey, CA area. In fact, I was supposed to work at Talbots this afternoon, but got a call from my boss that the Plaza where the shop is located had lost power, and so there would be no work today as all businesses were closed. […]
I took the lid off this project box, which I had neglected to label. My jaw dropped and I must have looked down at the contents for a good 30 seconds. How could I have forgotten about this? 25 blocks, in three variations. All colored black, white, and raspberry. I tell you, this must be […]
Gosh, I struck a nerve with my post yesterday. Nobody likes spending a boatload of money on a quilt that has poorly written and non-tested instructions! I think Lisa D hit the nail on the head when she said she suspected a lot of shops plan out their patterns on EQuilter and never bother to […]
Ok, this one surprised me. To tell the truth, I did not think I would finish this quilt. It is a Web Sampler project from a couple of years ago. For those of you not familiar with a Web Sampler, it is a program of participating shops that all come up with a sampler block […]
Isn't this the sweetest little pincushion? My friend Allyson sent it to me as a little Cheer Up gifty. Blogging friends are just the greatest, as I have said here many times. They often have a knack for reading between the lines and saying just the right thing. Who said that in this age of […]
