Pretending It’s Fall
With the 100+ degree weather we have been having, it is rather difficult to pretend that we are approaching Fall. But I am trying. I got out a fall table topper and placed a cheery bouquet of yellow roses in the middle. If it cools off this week, I will see about bringing out some…

1000 Pyramids Quilt Has Unexpected Adventure
Many of you were asking how Ahren liked his quilt, which we were delivering to him in person. It turns out there is a bit of a story concerning that. We chose a non-stop flight going straight from San Francisco to Dublin. We love non-stop flights. it is easier not to have to make…

Back From the Emerald Isle
I'm back from my trip to Ireland, and yes, it really does look like the photo above! We had a wonderful time visiting our son and feel even stronger that we would love to have property in Ireland to live in for at least part of the year. We came home to a horrendous heat…

Countdown To Christmas
It's Christmas in July! Last week on Moda The Cutting Table blog, Carrie posted a pillow she had made (and free Christmas Village pattern) using an older fabric line called Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater. I vaguely recalled purchasing that fabric line back in 2011. I had had a project in mind, and the fabric…

Bye Bye Bounce
It took me awhile, but I did get the final border on my Halloween Bounce quilt top and am sending it off to my amazing quilter this week. Last year was the year of me sending quilts off to be quilted that I intended to gift to family members, but this year I am…

Overdue
I have a funny story to share. While my husband was having his surgery last week, I stayed with my father in the Bay Area. He is an avid reader and consistently gets new books from the family on every possible gift giving occasion. He ran out of space on his ample bookshelves some…
