The best thing about having a quilting blog? The kindness of other bloggers! You can share your work, see what others are making, exchange tips, join challenges and generally offer support and friendship to others who share your passion. Today I have a big reason to celebrate blogging. Yesterday I posted a picture of my […]
I know, I know, I am supposed to be working on my Red and White Snowball Challenge quilt. And I am, really. However, working on this red and white two color quilt got me thinking about a project I started about two years ago. I adore two color quilts, and back in June 2008 I […]
Thanks for all your encouraging comments after my post on Thursday. I don't have so much trouble finding things to do, I just miss the routine and company that having my husband and Ozzie home brings. So, Friday, I had the entire day off and made the most of it. I didn't leave the house […]
"Tap tap tap….is this thing on? Anyone there?" I think I am done with the being on my own during the week business. I am lonely. TV has no appeal, and reading is ok, but I want something more. I play with the dog and I goof off on the computer, but those activities, no […]

I used to fantasize how lovely it would be if my son became a doctor. Or maybe a jeweler. Sometimes you don't get what you want, you get what you need. (Thanks Mick). My son is a getting his graduate degree in Computer Science. Yes indeed, he is. Are you making the connection? He came […]
So, my laptop is fried and I can't connect my camera to my husband's computer to post any quilting pictures, so I am relying on Getty Images to inspire me with blog topic ideas. The photo above got me thinking about unfortunate things that could have been avoided had they been on my master DO […]
I had a little accident yesterday. I was drinking my morning coffee while I read my email and somehow managed to knock my cup over and spill coffee all over my laptop keyboard. Ooops. It started making a terrible crackling noise and then… No, it didn't burst into flames like the one in the picture above, but […]
I had a productive weekend! Maybe not so much as Lisa, who has been on her annual Quilting Retreat, but still, I did all right. What you see in the picture above is the center part of the Flowers for Clara quilt, a pattern by Bonnie Blue. I love this. LOVE this. This is a […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
