Three Months of Books
I read a lot, probably more than the average person. When I do my recaps of what I have been reading, I usually get positive comments, so I thought I would share with you what I have read since Christmas. First I will tell you about the books I liked and finished and finish up…

Past and Present ABB
Past and Present, all but borders. I really like the way these blocks came together. The deep jewel tones of the Kansas Troubles fabrics (mostly Sweet Pea) are colorful, but still rich and masculine. Just right for the friend to whom Sara wants to give the quilt. As mentioned, the pattern is called Past and…

Dirty Laundry
Ack, that is the thing with going on vacation. You come home with suitcases full of dirty clothes that need to be sorted, washed, dried, folded and put away. I had mountains of it to deal with and spent what seemed like 90% of my free time yesterday on laundry related tasks. One product…

The Happiest Place on Earth
Yup, we had to go again. We only have one grandchild, and the way time is flying by, we just had to get season's passes to Disneyland and have another visit there. As you can see by her little face, she is quite thrilled to be having this conversation with Snow White. Childhood is such…

Kim's books are terrific. I believe she has three of them out, and each is full of wonderful easy to cut and sew…

Prepping
I admit it, I tend to be a prepper. I like to get my things lined up and ready to go for faster and less interrupted stitching. If I am hopping up every five minutes to cut out fabric for another block, or press a couple of half square triangles, I don't find sewing such…

Not Really a Procrastinator
It was so fun to get so much feedback yesterday on what quilt project you all would have me work on. I have to laugh at myself and tell you a bit about me. Back in the day when I was in high school and college and had to study, I was pretty disciplined with…

Oh My, Too Many Projects
Oh dear. I believe I may have too many things going on just at the moment. What to work on? I have been trying to work on them all, and make a block or two each day or so. This can't keep up. I need to clear off the design walls, except for one project,…

Classic and Vintage Single Wedding Ring Block
Have you seen this block before? It is called Single Wedding Ring, and is really quite lovely. Fat Quarter Shop does this very cool thing called Classic and Vintage every now and then, and they feature an old fashioned (classic) quilt block made up in modern fabrics. It is actually quite fun to see the…
