There is a raffle going on right now to raise money for research to find a cure for this presently incurable disease. Your contribution would be so helpful to Katy and children like her. Please go to […]
Last Saturday I attended a class at Prairiequeens called We Bee Strippin’. I have always wanted to go to one of those classes where you start with a kit of perfectly cut 2 1/2 inch strips and make a mystery quilt project. Do you remember back in March when I taught a class at Prairiequeens? […]
Normally, I would not dream of sharing a glimpse of my laundry room with you. It is pretty much a shambles with lingerie hanging everywhere, car washing towels waiting to be put away, baskets full of dirty clothes waiting to be washed, clean clothes waiting to be folded. But here is something I am proud […]
Sorry, life has gotten in the way of my blogging this week. Sadly, a very dear friend passed away last week and my husband and I drove down to Los Angeles for his funeral. Our friend was Carl Belfor, a man of so many talents and fine attributes that this post would go on until […]
One of the activities planned for the Quilting Retreat was a UFO exchange. We were all supposed to go through our UFO’s and choose one to trade or give away while up at the retreat.

I need your help. I’ve been planning a quilting retreat that is scheduled for this Friday, and I need some ideas for games to play with the girls while we are there. I have heard of a game that is played with fat quarters that sounds like it would be really fun. It is called […]
Suzy tagged me to list seven weird things about myself. The mind boggles. Me? Weird? If you only knew. I will try to come up with seven odd things that won’t be TMI. OK, here goes. 1) My husband and I eloped. We ran off to Reno and got married in one of those drop-in […]
Since I had to get all this stuff up off the floor so we could shampoo the rug in the sewing room, I finally forced myself to label and arrange my works in progress. I can’t tell you how good this feels, to finally address my current issue of too many unfinished projects. I counted […]
