Stargazer Resurrected
When I got home from my weekend of gallivanting all around Creation with Sara, I had many packages in my mailbox. Smile. It sure is nice to have so many leads from all of you when I find myself short of fabric. Always Quilting, Snowy River Quilts, Quilt Patch Lane, and my friend Jean (In…

Dancing Eyes
I received an interesting comment last week from Peski Patti (no blog). I would be so interested to see if you agree with her or not. Let's get a dialog going as to our preferences. I will quote her comment here: "One thing I don't care for in a quilt is a block or two that…

My Life Is A Long Weekend
Hope all of you are enjoying the long weekend. How I used to look forward to a three day weekend! And envy the Europeans for their monthly "bank holidays". Now that I am not working, it seems that one day flows into the next, making my life one long weekend. Whatever you are doing, I…

Rural Jardin/Rouenneries Sawtooth Stars
I have moved on to working on my Elizabeth quilt. I am combining fabric groups for this quilt. Mostly I will be using French General's Rouenneries, but my light background is from the 3 Sisters group Martinique, and my fussy cut star centers are from Rural Jardin, the new collection from French General for Moda.…

Wednesday, Already?
At least my flying geese units for Big Madeline are finished. Next step will be to construct the 25 Sawtooth Star blocks I need for the top. My plan is to work on those when the hardwood floor men are here this week. That is going to be a great quilt! Sophie is still in the…

Ridiculously Cute Baskets
I've been playing a bit in the sewing room this week. Trying to get used to the idea of spending a lot more time in there! I pulled out my Simple Abundance basket block project and had myself some fun. These colors just say Spring to me, and give my spirits such a lift. (Not…

We Interrupt Our Usual Scheduled Programming
OMG, I have to make a switcheroo. On a dime. This is the sort of thing that makes life interesting. My niece is graduating from high school this June and I wanted to give her a quilt. I had a nice pastel one in mind that was already pieced and just waiting for quilting. Then, I…

Beach Cottage Coming Along
I can't seem to get a good picture of this to save my life. The picture above shows a random placement of the blocks so you can get the idea. Trust me, it is coming along, and it is going to be nice. I still have more blocks to make in different color combinations, so…

Boo Hoo, Got Nothin’ To Do
Rain. And more rain. We are getting tired of it, Sophie and I. She doesn't get her walks on schedule, and is going out of her mind with boredom. Today I took her for a little ride in the car, just to get her out of the house, and she actually seemed to enjoy it. …
