My husband and I attended the movie "Where the Crawdads Sing" yesterday at our local movie theater. And you know what? It was pretty great. I have to say, the movie version was 95% true to the book version, which is rare. The main thing I noticed was that the movie was perfectly cast. Almost […]
I am in the middle of these two wonderful books right now. Usually I don't read two physical books at a time, but I had started The Bodyguard by Katherine Center and just picked up Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt just to see what all the raving was about, and was hooked. Remarkably […]
Midnight Moon is a sew-along I have joined where we make blocks in Halloween fabrics from Carrie Nelson's great book "Summer Moon". In the book, the instructions call for making each of the 28 or 30 blocks in THREE different sizes. The blocks are then framed with half square triangles for the very unique setting. […]
Do you ever forget about quilts that you have made? I keep mine in my walk-in closet, on two high shelves. Since I need a ladder to get them on or off the shelves, I don't spend much time rummaging around looking at things. Typically I have a specific quilt in mind that I want […]
It's been crazy busy around my house this week, because a certain young lady turned 11. Eva is staying with us for a few days and her birthday was yesterday. We packed the day with all sorts of activities. A shopping trip to a bookstore and local toy shop, out to lunch, home to do […]
Do you have project overload? I've been thinking about how many concurrent quilting projects I have going on at the moment, and it's a lot. I know many of you are disciplined and just take on one quilting project at time. You work on it until it is finished without getting distracted by something new […]
I am so excited to have gotten the inspiration for the layout I will use for the Moda BlockHeads 4 quilt. The fabric I am using for the quilt is several collections by Linzee McCray. The greys, aquas, yellows, and navy in all the fabrics coordinate beautifully together and the overall feel of the blocks […]
If any of you follow me on Bloglovin' (a platform where readers can read all their favorite blogs in one place), you may be experiencing some frustration. Frustration in that the site doesn't seem to work at all anymore. For the past few weeks I have not been able to successfully reach the site, getting […]
Sadly, I did not accomplish as much yesterday as I had hoped. I wanted to make four blocks and finish up the Midnight Moon blocks and set them aside for a while. Life got in the way and I only finished two. Actually, work got in the way. I am trying to work ahead a […]
My plan for the day is to finish up the Midnight Moon sew-along blocks. I believe to get caught up and finish, I need to make four blocks. I can listen to book review podcasts or my audio book and chill out. I am listening to a book by Janelle Brown called "I'll Be You" […]
