As it is my birthday month, the presents are still trickling in. You just never know what will appear in the mailbox! The glory you see in the picture above was sent to me by my friend Lisa of Stashmaster. The very latest Sturbridge Village collection "Greens", 19 gorgeous Civil War prints designed by Judie […]
Ok, man alive, did I get comments from you all yesterday! Didn't realize I had struck such a nerve. So, here is the untrimmed block I made with the wonky, not so perfect flying goose unit. As you see, the block did come out a bit wonky. I believe though, with proper trimming, this block […]
You all know I was making flying geese units last week. Most of them turned out fine and dandy like the one pictured at the top of my photo. A few turned out not so great, like the one below. See how the fabric doesn't match up at the top? Obviously, both units need trimming […]
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 […]
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 […]

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.

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 […]
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 […]
