It’s A Wrap, Finally
At last, I got the rows all sewn together for my Jacob's Ladder/Go Four It project. The quilt is ample sized for my queen size bed, measuring 72 x 90 inches. You can see there is lots of nice overhang on the sides. No borders on this quilt. The pinks are summery and the greens…

Ack. It wasn’t my day.
Sometimes we truly have the best of intentions. Tuesday at work we were interviewing a man and his wife who were being considered to team teach some cooking classes our shop offers. They did a demo for us, just as if we were a proper class. They were terrific and certainly made everything they made…

It’s All About the Fabric
I finally sorted out my Jacob's Ladder blocks. I was having a ridiculous time trying to get them arranged the way I wanted them. I outgrew the design wall and ended up laying out my last two rows on the floor under neath the design wall! Works for me. I was about to drive…

A Gorgeous Day, With a Bit of Everything
I swear I started out the day sewing, and made a total of six more Jacob's Ladder blocks. But the weather was so gorgeous–in the 80s!–I just had to be outside with Eva. After I picked her up from school we came home and had a tea party, then we played outside with her water…

Laundry Day, Quilted
This sweet little quilt is Laundry Day, a kit from Fat Quarter Shop, featuring a Kim Diehl design and fabrics. It is a mini quilt that I just got back from my quilter, Mary at Quilt Hollow. The light wasn't quite right when I took the picture, so I don't know if you can see…

OK, I’m Back
Whew, I feel like a gerbil on an exercise wheel these days. My work schedule is still a bit demanding this week, but I am going to make a major effort on my days off to be mellow and unstressed. One thing I did do yesterday morning, first thing after a busy weekend, is to…

Here and There
Well, I did warn you that there wasn't going to be a lot of sewing going on this week! Here is a photo of one of my little Easter vignettes, on my kitchen counter. Easter seems so early this year, I am not quite ready for it mentally yet. I did get out my little…

Wall Full of Jacob’s Ladder Blocks
As you can see, I now have a wall full of Jacob's Ladder blocks covering up the entire design board. I have been having a great time making the blocks and throwing them up on the wall. I still have 18 or 20 more to make, as I do want this quilt to be quite…

Jacob’s Ladder Progress
I am happy to say that I did make a few more Jacob's Ladder blocks yesterday and plan to sew again today and make some more. This project was inspired by American Patchwork and Quilting's "Go Four It" Sew Along featured in their most recent issue. The idea is to use scads of four…

Around the House
Not too much happening around here. I had a virus, which I am pretty much over–only a bit of a hacking cough and a big cold sore indicate that all was not well last week. I am scheduled to work both days this weekend, so any sewing that happens this week is going to…
