The clock over the pantry door says it's Wine O'Clock as my dad likes to say. Here I am, home from my day at work, which was a good one, all in all. Time for a restorative and a bit of a walk about the yard. Glorious weather today, it was. About time. Won't you […]
Aren't these purple batiks yummy? I had a Bali Pop of 2 1/2 inch strips and made this over the weekend. It looks like a quilt for a monk's cell cot, but it isn't. The monks and I are on good terms, but are not that close. What it really is, is a cover for […]
This is the quilting design that the fabulous Debbie Thornton at Prairie Queens chose for the quilt I made for my favorite quilt celebrity Rock Star. Don't you love the design of high heeled pumps on the fabric Objects of Desire? OMG, this quilt is seriously adorable. I can't say too much more about it […]
I was not able to go to work today. On Friday I had an appointment with my doctor for my annual check up. I am doing pretty well–weight is acceptable, blood pressure a teensy bit high, and cholesterol needs attention. Nothing major. Lucky me. At the end of the appointment, my doctor said "You know, […]
It was a gorgeous weekend here in Northern California, or so I am told. I wouldn't know any thing about that because I spent every minute inside sewing on my celebrity stunt sewing gig. You see, as honored as anyone would be to be asked to sew for a major figure in the quilting world, […]
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 […]
A big thank you to all who shopped at my Tuesday Sale this week! I hope that you love your selections when they arrive. I've still got plenty more to sell, so check back next week! The quilt above is the one I recently got out of hock from my favorite quilter. It is an […]
