I have my fabric all cut out for my top secret sewing mission, and placed into carefully labeled baggies. Hmmm, there are a lot of pieces here to sort out. For each block, I need to choose one back ground fabric and three different colored fabrics to form the pattern. My biggest decision is whether […]
I have been asked to take on another celebrity stunt sewing mission, for someone known for her beautiful fabric designs and creative patterns. I am not permitted to say too much about the project, but have permission to give you little sneak peeks of my assignment. The fabric for my project arrived yesterday and […]
It was a perfect weekend, with time for sewing, time for shopping, and time socializing with the family. I worked on the blocks for the quilt I am making out of the Patisserie jelly roll. I would have finished them I think, but I made a discovery that bummed me out, so I quit. Remember […]
Well, the consensus from yesterday's question: Do you wash your finished quilts right away to give them that soft quiltier feel? A resounding YES!!! As Carrie said, it makes them Nap Worthy. So true! While at work this week I have had a persistent, distracting notion that I have not been able to get out […]

Coral isn't a color I wear or decorate with, but I think I may have been missing something. It all started with our kitchen table, which we have had for over 30 years. […]
Interesting comments to yesterday's post on the low tech way to do laundry. So many of you have the same memories as I do. One woman said that we must have had the same grandma, her recollections were so identical to mine. We always wondered what happened to Uncle Roger, maybe this is a clue? […]
When did laundry stop being fun? When I was a little girl, I used to love helping Grandma Agnes with the wash. There was a comforting and predictable sequence to Laundry Day. We started early in the morning, and devoted a good part of the day to complete the task. There was a big tall […]
istockphoto My husband is home from his trip and order has been restored at our house. The dogs are on their best behavior in his presence. I definitely am not anywhere on the alpha chain. We have a call in to a professional dog trainer to see if she can help us with our canine […]
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your supportive and heart felt responses to my post yesterday. You are all just the best friends anyone could ever wish for. I plan to answer each and every one of your emails tomorrow. Ozzie is doing much better today. It is […]
