Nine Patch Nirvana
I am just a nine patch fool. I have about a hundred of these little guys all done, and think I need to stop now. It is amazing how meditative stitching away on these simple little blocks is. Huge blocks of time have elapsed before I even realize it. Of course. listening to an awesome…

I don't have a whole lot to show for myself for all the free days I have had this past weekend. As you see, about half my Message in a Bottle rows are sewn together. A more tedious process than making the blocks, so I have slowed down. Work on Long Road Home has commenced,…

These Are What My Days Are Like
I think he is trying to tell me something…What could it be? Honestly, this dog is such a clown. If he isn't dozing on my favorite chair, he is teasing me with something. He is so expressive and comical it is ridiculous. He lives to torment me non stop 24/7. It is so clear, what…

Shiloh, Finished
Yes, finished at last. I had a little hiccup in the final moments of this quilt when I discovered the fabric I had planned to use for the outer border had faded. I found something else that works well, but had to order it online. Then I went on vacation. I cannot wait for this…

My Favorite Schnibbles
Aw gee. I feel like Sophie's Choice here. How can I pick my favorite? Sherri and Sinta's challenge for January is to post a photo of our favorite Schnibbles. I am quite partial to Bennington, made with a fun collection by Sandy Gervais. It definitely was my favorite Fall Schnibbles. I also like the quilting…

Tumbler Quilt, Finished
You didn't even know I had started this one, did you? I made it in just a couple of hours. Amazing, isn't it? I could start my own Quilt In A Day show. Want to know my secret? The entire quilt center is about the size of a piece of printer paper. Did I fool…
