I have completed my first two weeks at my new job today. And it was Pay Day! Big Whoop. My check was half what I was figuring it was going to be. I was thinking I was getting paid for two weeks, but nope, that wasn't the case. I started my job on […]
Much to Ozzie's delight, my son was home from Cal Poly for the weekend. Ozzie loves him passionately because he thinks up very funny games that the rest of us dullards in the family would never dream up. It takes one comedian to know what another would find funny I guess. You are all familiar with […]
This is the center medallion for the Heritage Stars quilt I have been working on. Or rather not working on, but I am trying to correct that situation. I am using the beautiul fabric group Allspice Tapestry by Fig Tree for Moda and a pattern I found in an issue of APQ. The center medallion […]
I received so many encouraging comments from you dear friends out there regarding my new schedule and how I will soon get used to it. Thank you ever so much for your patience with me last week, and know that I am working on a solution to getting back to normal. Without resigning from my […]

The pattern is called Red Union Square from the book The Simple Joys of Quilting by Joan Hanson and Mary Hickey. Only nine […]
Goodbye July, hello August! Isn’t August 1 supposed to be our Two Color Quilt Challenge Deadline? So, how is that going for all of you who said they would like to participate? I know Patti whipped hers out way back in June, but I would love to hear from the rest of you as to what your […]
On the day of my daughter and son in law’s wine tasting party, we decided that it would be best if Ozzie stayed behind at my dad’s house while we attended the event. Ozzie is, as you know, a very exuberant fellow and I just couldn’t see him careening around amidst all the guests and their […]
Just returned from my trip to Orlando, and I don’t know when I have felt so completely exhausted! I was on the go every minute, attending a fabulous fashion show, eating at marvelous restaurants, attending seminars, and trying to keep up with my friends at The Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center. It was a […]
