I know it is probably too soon to put the umbrellas away, but I sure have been excited about getting some fresh Spring colors into my decor. Have you decorated yet? Easter will be here on April 12, just a month from now. Even if you don't celebrate Easter, do you change out any of […]
I wasn't even going to post on this subject, because I thought it had been resolved very nicely. I recently ordered a batik fat quarter selection from a very well known online fabric company that specializes in batik and Asian fabrics. The color selection was to be raspberry. Eight beautiful fat quarters all in shades […]
Now that Daylight Savings time has begun again, the Vernal Equinox is just a couple of weeks away, don't you just want to ditch the turtlenecks and boots and get out your cropped pants and tee shirts? Wear bright springy colors? Change into that cute straw summer hand bag? Use some self tanner and get […]
Hey everybody, greetings from Newport Beach! The family and I are on vacation, something we haven't been able to do together since Ozzie and Sophie came to live with us. We used to have the aged grandparents take care of our dog while we went away, but they are getting a bit doddery and aren't […]
That was such an interesting discussion of whether or not our pets should be allowed on our quilts. The general consensus was that they should be, unless they might potentially damage the quilt (due to sharp nails or a tendancy to chew on them). We quilters are an open hearted and generous breed. I […]
Here are my sleepy dogs, settling in for their morning naps. They have had their walk and their breakfasts, and are going back to bed for a little lie in. They can be good sometimes. For short periods of time. And yes, that is one of my favorite quilts that Ozzie is lying on. Zuzu's […]
Several friends have remarked on the recent posts with photos of Sophie, and wondered how her brother Ozzie is doing. He is doing just fine. Same ol', same ol'. I had thought perhaps he had given up his wild ways and penchant for chewing things up. I had hoped that he had now settled down […]
I had such a great time participating in the OP Sew Along that Pat Sloan hosted this weekend! My version of orange was a bit toned down I suppose, but it worked for me. While I was working on the challenge quilt, a little bell tinkled in the back of my mind. I vaguely recalled […]
Borders on, last seam sewn, quilt top pressed, photo taken. I am done! Thanks to any of you who were interested enough to follow along with this marathon quilting extravaganza in orange! I enjoyed it and hope you did too.
I decided on a diagonal set for my OP Sew Along quilt. There was just *barely* enough of the light fabric left for the setting triangles. I really squeaked by on this one! The results please me very much. It is plenty orange all right, but not in too much of an "in your face" […]
