Quilting

So, I woke up this morning and thought, "OK, this is the day I get organized!  All my UFO’s will be catagorized and sorted as to finishing date.  I will devote this entire day to that activity and my life will change for the better." I went into the sewing room, gazed around for a…

I apologize for the lack of any quilty posts lately.  For some reason, I just have not gotten into my sewing room this week, except to sleep at night to get away from my DH’s snoring and coughing.  (TMI?)  I sure will be glad when this virus of his goes away!  I do miss the…

Prairiequeens got in the entire collection of Posh by Chez Moi for Moda.  Debbie at PQ says it reminds her of a dish of melted Neapolitan ice cream!  I agree, it’s got the pinks, the chocolates, a touch of pistachio, and the backgrounds are a vanilla white.  I love this fabric.  Love with a Capital…

This bleak little picture is of the iron in my sewing room.  No, I am not particularly proud or fond of this iron.  Perry challenged me to post on the subject of my iron, and I have to admit, it is a bit of a sore topic.  You see, this is the THIRD iron I…

Happy Valentine’s Day friends!  I hope your day is full of sweet surprises. The eye candy pictured above is the focus fabric and pattern for the next quilting project I am planning.  The fabric and the pattern are called A Morris Garden by Timeless Treasures (yes, I do occasionally fall for fabric made by a…

I was busy last week and didn’t get to post quite as often as I would like to.  My sister who lives in Wisconsin was out for a visit, staying with our dad in Palo Alto.  I combined all sorts of productive activities into my trip up there (which lasted a couple of days).  The…

I think I mentioned a few posts ago that I have been invited to teach Miss Rosie quilt patterns at my favorite local quilt shop.  I had two quilts in mind for this spring calendar session, with the idea that I would teach one class in March and the second one in May.  I received…

  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…
