Quilts Back From Quilter
I may not be getting a lot of sewing done, but I have been on a mission sending tops out for quilting. This past week, I got three of them back, and am so pleased with the results. Tumbler is pictured above, done in various Denyse Schmidt fabrics. That quilt has such a modern…

80% Whole 30
I got some interesting comments about the Whole 30 program. Thanks to all of you who took the time to share your experience. The program is rather militant, that is for sure. If you so much as put a teaspoon of milk in your morning coffee or step on the scale to see how you…

Eating Cleaner
I have had a fairly stressful couple of months, and unfortunately have turned to food to ease my nerves. Bad idea. I have put on a few pounds and am not too happy with myself. For some reason I got the notion that ice cream should play a part in my daily food consumption, which…

Trim, Trim, Trim
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am working on a number of units for the star blocks in my Raise the Roof Again project. I am not following the pattern instructions 100%. For the flying geese units, I am using Monique DIllard's Fit to be Geese ruler, which I have raved about numerous…

Raise the Roof Again
I've always wanted to make this quilt. The pattern is "Raise the Roof", an old Miss Rosie pattern that you can still buy. I searched online and found that Homestead Hearth carries it.

A Table Topper for Sara
I was able to squeeze a bit of sewing into my schedule a few weeks ago, and made up this cute little table topper with some Minick and Simpson fabric from a Frivols box. I made the quilt a bit smaller than the directions called for, so that it would fit just right on Sara's…

Happy 4th of July
Hope you all have a safe and sane 4th of July. We will try to beat the heat with cool drinks and perhaps a dip in the pool. Of course there will be a barbecue and maybe even a sparkler or two! I picked up some Teavana peach iced tea at Starbucks that I am…

It’s Summer
It is 103 degrees where I live right now. And maybe hotter tomorrow. Ugh. The temperatures may be a bit much, but I've been cooling off in the pool when I can. Eva brought over a little spray bottle of water this past weekend, and would give Denny and I a big shock every once…

Summer Check In
Hi there. Lots going on here! Plenty of recent changes in my life, and new adventures and challenges to experience in the days to come. As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. That has been the case for me this summer for sure! Everything and everyone is good, and once things fall…
