Really Ozzie?
Really Ozzie? What is it with dogs wanting to lie down on anything you place on the floor to take a closer look at? As you can see, I am well on the way to having my red and white quilt finished and off my design wall. As I type this, I have the top…

Back in the Saddle and a Give Away
Hello friends, hope you all had a great weekend and are getting used to Daylight Savings Time. As I write this, it is only 3:00 in the afternoon and I am thinking I should turn on the lights inside. It always takes me awhile to get used to the time change. Ozzie, not so…

Round Robin, Gifted
I ended up gifting my little Round Robin table topper to my son in law, the winemaker. He really seems to appreciate my efforts, and it pleases me to see that he uses the little table toppers and other seasonal quilts I give him. So, that seemed to be a win/win kind of deal. He…

Checking In Before New Years
The huge Christmas Quilt Give Away went great. I didn't get any pictures of the presentations because it was total pandemonium when we opened our gifts at my dad's house on Christmas night. Everyone seemed to like what they got, so that was good. Oh, and my widowed brother in law? Who I was…

The Patio Set, Fifth Reincarnation
I told you I would share a photo of the patio cushions in their new location. My son in law is very happy with the look of his back deck now. You can just see it at the top of the photo—he has put up a triangular shaped blue canvas cover over the deck, which…

Second Hand Clothes, A Finish
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness,…

Patio Cushions, Fifth Reincarnation
It is a wrap on the patio cushions I recovered for my son in law. Here you see half of them. It took a couple of days to finish six cushions and two throw pillows. I think that fabric gives the cushions a fresh summery look. He is a pretty patriotic guy, so the…

Baby Quilt Finish
This is the little quilt that Sara and I collaborated on. Some dear friends had their first baby, a little boy, and this quilt just seems so appropriate. Daddy is a helicopter pilot, so the pinwheel design of the blocks seems sort of aeronautically themed. The quilt was beautifully quilted by Mary Flynn of Quilt…

Quilt Kit Give Away!
I have something so exciting to share with you all! As you know, I have been working on a quilt called Victory Star, designed by Paula Barnes for Red Crinoline Quilts. I bought a kit and took a class with Paula a few years back. Well, the friend I took the class with who also…

I Got the Most Important Thing Done
I did accomplish my number one priority yesterday—the quilting on the third charity quilt. Now to sew the binding down, and that chapter is complete. Since I care for my little grand child most days, I have been trying to sew a bit in the evenings if I am not totally exhausted. Last evening, I…
