My husband has been away this week on vacation in Palm Desert. We have a time share down there and have weeks of vacation in the bank with Interval International. I couldn't take time off from my new job and we didn't want to lose our week, so my husband went on his own, leaving […]
I recently had to pick up and pay for four quilts that had been sitting at my favorite quilters for far too long. A word of advice: Do not ever let quilts stack up at the quilter's. The amount of money it takes to get them out of hock is enough to make your hair […]
While I was turning my sewing room upside down this weekend, looking for the 3 1/2 square of fabric I swear Sophie ran off with, I made a discovery. I love it when this happens. Usually I keep all my future projects in my stash closet where I can frequently admire, fondle and consider […]
Still on the subject of Block of the Month Clubs, I want to share with you all another BOM I am participating in. This one is called The Designer Mystery BOM and uses the fabric collection Peace on Earth by 3 Sisters for Moda. I was late getting started with this project and had four […]
Have you ever joined a Block of the Month Club? I love them because regular as clockwork, a new block comes in the mail each month. If you stay on task and make the block each month, at the end of a year you have a gorgeous quilt to put together. The most recent BOM […]

I can't quite get the lighting right, but here is a look at my first layer cake quilt project. I finished the top in June and it has been at Prairiequeens for ages waiting to be picked up and paid for. "Not Vanilla Latte" was finished on June 20, 2008. It was made with a […]
Thanks for bearing with me while I make some changes to my page banner. I thought it was time for something more seasonal, but when I went to swap the old picture out with a new one, it turns out that I had forgotten exactly how to do it. If I ever did know. My […]
Greetings friends. I am a bit slow getting on with my fresh week it seems. The weekend went by in a blur, but I did accomplish a couple of things that were high on my priority list. Numero Uno was getting up to Prairiequeens to pick up four, yes FOUR, finished quilts that had been […]
No, I am not referring to chardonnay, but some of you might argue with me about that. I really want to make more time in my day for doing the things that are important to me. I miss chatting with my friends, and I have missed reading books on a regular basis. But the thing […]
