My family went to San Franciso this weekend to attend the Dickens Christmas Fair. This event has been a San Francisco holiday tradition for 28 years! Some people go once and think it is sufficient, but not us. Nope, we go just about every year. It really is loads of fun. It is a theatrical […]
We got the tree up! My son in law was permitted to cut a tree down from the winery property where he works, and he ambitiously over-estimated the height of the ceiling in our living room…. This tree comes right up to the top of it—after about three feet was cut off! It looks as […]
My package of fabric arrived from Vintage and Vogue. I ripped open the box and spread it all out right on top of my cutting table. This is the Real Deal. The fabric for the blended quilt I am REALLY making for the Challenge! The fabric (Marleigh by Benartex) is more gorgeous than my wildest […]
I am still waiting for the fabric to arrive for the blended quilt project I am working on with my blogging friends Perry, Cindy, and Lisa. I ordered it Sunday and it is Friday already and it still has not arrived. Since I am completely obsessed with making a blended quilt NOW, fabric or […]
This is not the quilt pattern I have chosen for the Blended Quilt Challenge. Really. At least I don’t think so. But while I am waiting for the fabrics for my REAL project to arrive, look what I made with the auxillary back up fabrics? Isn’t it pretty? I love those calm blues. I […]
Lisa of Stashmaster and I both bought the fatquarter bundle called Roman Holiday by Moda. We emailed back and forth quite a bit, tossing out possible patterns that would be appropriate with this pretty, not too Christmassy fabric collection. One detail we decided was that since the collection was released as a Holiday group, the […]
Lisa (Stashmaster), Perry (Okperisplace) and Cindy (Too Much Fabric So Little Time) and I are beginning a new Quilting Challenge! Please join us as the four of us launch ourselves into a brand new project. This challenge charges us to make a Blended Quilt using one of the four following blended quilt books: Blended Quilts […]
The Fat Goose would be me of course. Where did these four new pounds come from I ask you? I have been working hard getting my holiday decorations out, and I am pretty sure I have missed at least a couple of meals. Go figure. I need to get a grip on it though, and […]
Even Ozzie has had enough. He has been following me from room to room all morning long, wondering what the heck I am doing with all these arm loads of fabric. He can’t figure it out, and I doubt if I could make him understand. Some of my blogging friends and I will be starting […]
Since Thanksgiving is over, I figured it was time to get out some Christmas decorations, including Christmas quilts of course. The quilt pictured above is one I got back from the quilter just before last Christmas. I put it out, but in all the holiday hub bub, didn’t get a chance to really study […]
