Getting a Grip, Making a Plan
I sure did get a lot of encouragement, empathy, and practical suggestions from you all on my last post. I have been feeling overwhelmed with the amount of quilts I have piled up everywhere, the number of projects I have in progress as well as planned for the future. I guess I am more of…

Lazy Blogger Syndrome
I do apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have not been doing much sewing, and have, in fact, been giving my hobby some serious consideration. I have so many quilts and it is becoming harder and harder to justify cranking out more of them. I am feeling overwhelmed with the number of quilts…

Patchwork Star
This cute block is called Patchwork Star and is one of the last five blocks in the Mercantile sew-along, hosted by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. I am enjoying making the blocks and think the quilt is going to be lovely, but to be honest, I am looking forward to having the sew-along…

Unexpected Hazard of Rotary Cutting
No, I didn't cut myself. I pride myself on how careful I am when using my rotary cutter. Knock on wood, I've never had an accident. However recently, I've been experiencing some twinges in my right arm that extended to my chest. I was concerned enough to consult my doctor because this was definitely a…

Let’s Talk About One Block Quilts

Moda Blockheads Substitute and Snow
Oh my gosh, some spring break this has been. We had planned originally to go down to Palm Desert to enjoy some sunshine, but couldn't find a decent place to stay. We canceled those plans and decided to stay home. This has been a very lazy week, with me spending too much time on the…

You’ve Got To Try This
I know this is supposed to be mostly a quilting blog, but I haven't got any sewing to show you, so I am going to fall back on one of my next favorite activities: cooking. I made the absolute best dinner ever last night, and you have just got to try it. I made my…

Easter Festivities
Hope you all had a happy Easter, if you celebrate it. We got together with family for an Easter egg hunt and brunch, and again later in the day for Easter dinner. My son-in-law Ryan hosts the brunch and egg hunt at the winery, and Eva was in charge of filling plastic eggs with goodies…

Archie Update
Just a quick update on Archie and the new inflatable collar. Carolyn suggested we give the inflatable collar a try, as they seem as if they would be so much more comfortable than the traditional hard plastic "cone of shame" that they give you after a dog has surgery. It reminded me a lot of…
