I just love these soft spring colors in the 3 Sisters Larkspur collection.  I have not bought any 3 Sisters fabric for a couple of years, as I was feeling I had pretty much done them to death.  However, when I saw how pretty this quilt pattern by Miss Rosies' Quilt Company was I was…

Sorry for the lack of posting lately.  I have had an unprecedented disaster with my email accounts.  They have disappeared.  I stopped being able to receive mail about a week ago.  No idea where my emails were directed–into the ether I guess.  I went through all the trouble shooting tips offered by Google/Gmail to no…

I did receive a squishy package in the mail this  week.  I had to order more black fabric for the Log Cabin quilt I am making for Sara.  I like the Zen Chic Modern Backgrounds in Ink.  Turns out I also thought I needed more of the grays in that collection, so those should arrive…

 Just so you know, I haven't abandoned Viola now that she is off my design wall.  I have a plan for a border involving half square triangles.  I got the triangles made, as you see in the photo above.  They all need to be trimmed to 3 inches, a task I know is going to…

Seriously, the amount of time these blocks have been on my design wall is shameful.  The quilt is Viola, a Miss Rosie pattern.  I am so happy to tell you all that I decided to go with a 12 block, 3 by 4 setting, and use the finished quilt in Eva's room here at my…

My Dad's Christmas wish came true.  He got to go home and be with his family for Christmas!  He is happily sitting in his special chair having coffee and reading a book. I will be taking turns with two of my sisters, staying with him until our sister in Wisconsin arrives on January 2nd.  I…

I suppose stranger things have happened, but this is one for the books. I have a nephew who lives with my elderly father.  (Not Grandpa Larry, that is my husband's father).  This arrangement has worked out splendidly for all concerned.  My nephew has a nice place to live and my father has a companion and…

  It took all weekend, but I did get my sewing room and upstairs guest room all organized!  My daughter moved into her own place, so I gained a guest room and more closet space for my fabric.  I haven't had a chance to miss Sara and Eva too much, because for one thing they…

I am starting to think about Christmas, and it makes me happy. Of course I have just returned from The Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland), and have to admit, my general mood is pretty euphoric.  We had a marvelous time, and have decided from now on, if we plan a trip there, to be sure…

Hi there, hope all is well.  My family is taking a bit of a vacation at the moment.  We had to postpone our planned trip to Disneyland back in September due to the fires, but rescheduled it for this week.  We are having a grand time.  Yesterday Eva met a great number of princesses, and…
