Movies That Changed Your Life

Have you ever seen a movie that literally changed your life?  Think about this for a bit.  Really think about it.  Then blog or email me about it!  I would love to know what meant something to you. I found this such a compelling topic for thought, that I have challenged my husband and son […]

Flying Geese

  I know I was just talking about Flying Geese blocks in my post yesterday, but these geese are for a different project.  I had two half days to sew over the weekend, and divided my time between two UFOs that have been calling out to me.  I know, Prairie Paisley was crying out plaintively for […]

Goose in the Pond

Months ago (never mind how many…) I started a making a quilt that I had been planning in my mind for a year or more.  I knew the pattern I would use would be Toulouse, a wonderful offering by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.  Carrie made her quilt in a Christmas fabric collection that was current […]

Another Year

For someone who has decided that less fanfare is better than more when it comes to her birthday, a certain person may have celebrated a bit more than necessary this weekend.  It started out low key at the beginning of the weekend, but the party with the family on Sunday sort of did me in.  […]

William Morris Fabric

On Pay Day, I ordered a bundle of the new William Morris Workshop fabric that Barbara Brackman has come out with for Moda.  I love William Morris reproduction fabrics and have a fair sized collection of them.  William Morris was an Englishman who is known for his skills as an architect, furniture designer, author, poet.

These Darn Dogs

During interrogation, Ozzie confessed to the orange shoe incident.  We have decided to put him on probation, and keep our shoes out of his reach.  His episode with the shoe pales in comparison however, to the things his sister Sophie has been up to lately. Warning:  If you are squeamish, stop reading right now. I […]

The Case of the Orange Shoe Murders

It happened again Dear Readers.  I fell asleep in front of the TV, with my husband dozing in his chair across the room from me.  While we were snoozing, some fiend entered the premises and murdered another one of my orange shoes.  Here is one of the crime scene photos. The Coroner reports that this […]

Backings and Borders and Bindings, Oh My!!!

My intent this weekend was to work on my Prairie Paisley Challenge that Lisa and I have going on.  She probably has her top to the quilters already at the rate I am going.  I just couldn't buckle down to that project until I got the borders on two quilts that are a-l-m-o-s-t done.  That […]

How Much Do I Love Books?

I thought I would take you on a little tour around my messy house to see my book collection.  When I have mentioned that I LOVE books, I was not exaggerating.  One of the main reasons that we bought this house was because of all the built in book cases. Here is the library.  I […]
