I apologize for the lack of any quilty posts lately. For some reason, I just have not gotten into my sewing room this week, except to sleep at night to get away from my DH’s snoring and coughing. (TMI?) I sure will be glad when this virus of his goes away! I do miss the […]
I take back every single nice thing I ever said about him. I never should have bragged about how dog training was going so well. Ozzie is incorrigible and will never be a good dog. Ever. These are brand new designer shoes I paid a bloody fortune for, and wore for a total of about […]
I’ve been too busy to sew the past week, plus the weather has been too nice to be cooped up inside! We spent all day Saturday out in the garden and look what is going on out there! The photo above is our wisteria, not very well situated in a back corner of the yard. […]
Easter in our family is always exactly the same. We all gather at Dad’s house around 11:00, and everyone always brings exactly the same offering to the pot lunch brunch.

Saint Patrick’s Day was two days ago. I know, I know. Things have just been a bit hectic in my life the past couple of weeks, so that I am behind on my posts. Every year on March 17, my father and assorted other male relatives beg me to make my version of Corned Beef. […]
Hi there. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. As you may have gathered, things have been kind of lively in my family life, with the health care drama for my MIL, and having to be running 75 miles up and down Highway 101 to tend to things. Happy to relate that things have settled […]
istockphoto Getting old is just the pits. Not for sissies, as Bette Davis said. I want to share a personal experience with you, more as a cautionary tale, rather than as a soapbox rant. I’ve been out of town and away from my computer for a few days, tending to the needs of my 86 […]
On April 18, 2007, I posted a tutorial on my favorite way to make Flying Geese Units. Any time you are making flying geese units, you can use this technique, which isn’t always given in the block assembly instructions. Check it out, by clicking on the link. You make four perfect flying geese in no […]
