I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on!  I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big.  I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest…

Have you heard about the Red and White Snowball Challenge?  Some of us are going to make a quilt from the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts, called "Leftovers Again?".  It is the most perfect stash reduction quilt you ever saw.  You can make it in one color (plus lights) or go wild…

What do you think?  Like the looks of this quilt?  Me too.  Would you like one of your own?  Yup, me too.  Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts took this picture while she was on a recent road trip through Utah.  Of course she stopped at all the quilt shops, and this was one of many…

I was rummaging around in the stash closet and found this little bundle of beautiful blue fabrics my son Ahren had bought for me when he was at JJStitches in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin last January.  I had completely forgotten about them, and was thrilled when they turned up.  Vicksburg by Judie Rothermel.  Gosh, that sounded…

'O frabjous day!  Calloo!  Callay!!'He chortled in his joy. Things are pretty happy at my house right now.  My husband received a great job offer which he has accepted.  Things are looking up indeed. No need for me to work two part time jobs, so I will be drastically cutting back my work hours and…

Things are going splendidly with my Winter White Schnibbles blocks.  I am so happy that I decided to scratch my first poorly executed effort and start anew with fabrics I had on hand.  Look at my blocks above!  So sweet. I have all my flying geese units completed and have been enjoying myself enormously, trimming…

On Saturday, I woke, still smarting from my sewing fiasco of the previous day.  I lay in bed, fuming at my sloppy work, my lack of planning and my wasteful use of both time and fabric.  Then, I remembered something.  The lovely Cheryl, my friend from Gran's Quilting Place, had recently sent me some gorgeous…

Does this ever happen to you? You haven't had time to sew in ages.  Finally, a day off presents itself with no other obligations!  You can spend the entire day in the sewing room working!  You start a new project.  From the first moment, everything goes wrong.  You measure wrong.  Your fabric choices are wrong. …

I took my trusty Singer Featherweight with me up to Andrea's and managed to get ALL my blocks completed for the Celebrity Stunt Sewing Gig I am involved in currently.  What do you know.  I did more than just eat all weekend long.  Wish I could show you the blocks, but shhh, they are top…

Ahh.  What a wonderful weekend I had.  A vacation actually.  My husband, Ozzie, and I went up to Granite Bay to stay with my sister Andrea and her husband Rick.  Seriously, they should just open up a Bed and Breakfast for weary hardworking people such as my self to escape to.  We keep trying to…
