Dilemma, Dilemma
I know I promised to show you what's up on the design wall, but that is still a major blank space. I want to start a new project. Something for a loved one who needs a quilt to comfort and sustain her on a difficult journey. Not a huge bed sized quilt, but a nap…

It’s All About the Fabric
I finally sorted out my Jacob's Ladder blocks. I was having a ridiculous time trying to get them arranged the way I wanted them. I outgrew the design wall and ended up laying out my last two rows on the floor under neath the design wall! Works for me. I was about to drive…

What’s Going On This Week
Technically, this photo shows what is NOT going on this week. No progress at all on Metro, Hold the Lattice. Not bogged down or bored with the project–no, no, far from it. The thing is, I am getting ready to go on a trip! In a little over a week, I am meeting up with…

The Mailman Came.
Holy Cow. I really need to knock off on the chardonnay before shopping on the internet. The mailman came and there were certainly a lot of packages with my name on them. Sara said, "Mom. It's like Christmas". Oh dear. Well, I can tell you, that I have definitely beefed up my non-existent Happy Fabric…

I’m Starting My Happy Collection
I am starting my Happy Fabric collection! Truth be told, the collection in the photo above I have had for a year or so, but haven't quite had a plan as to how to use it. It is Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt for Free Spirit Fabrics. Something very special will come of this, I…

Kenneshaw Mountain
Several of my friends have been experimenting with brighter color palettes lately with great success. I have to admit, I do enjoy the colorful quilts they have been coming out with. It is the case however that I still have a strong affinity for Civil War Reproduction fabrics: I love the way they honor our…

Countdown
I know this looks pretty random, but I did whip up a few Christmas gifts yesterday. Three pillow cases for a couple of nephews and a niece. Cozy flannel for the guys and a Parisian print for the gal. I am really digging these pillow cases for a quick and easy last minute gift! …
