Bindings
I recently got three quilts back from my quilter, and now my world is Bindings. I live on the planet of Bindings. I need to get two baby quilts bound by Saturday. Sara has been waiting for her Log Cabin quilt for so long, I feel as if I have to get her quilt to…

Into the Wind-6 Blocks
Six blocks completed for Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern I am making with Larkspur by 3 Sisters. Thirteen more of these full blocks to make, and then about as many partial blocks, plus some in-between blocks. This is a quilt with a lot of piecing. I wasn't sure how I would like these…

I wanted to share this little quilt with you. I had made it during a Spools sew along a few years ago, and never got the borders on it. I made all my spools with strips of different fabrics in the same color way. In other words, the green spool is made up of…

Spring Weekend
Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so! The weather was spring like here, and we all gathered at my Dad's house for Easter Brunch. Gosh what a fun event that is. Everybody shares their signature brunch dish and we eat like kings. My nephew (whose wife is expecting the baby) made the salad…

Good Reads and Some Not So Much
The following books are ones I enjoyed, but maybe are not the literary quality of the ones from yesterday's post. Lisa Gardner is a prolific author, whose books I am currently obsessing over. I started with her Detective D.D. Warren series and have read the following, one after the other: Alone, Hide, The Neighbor, Live…
