Christmas Cactus
Several people emailed me to ask about the pattern I used for my Christmas Cactus quilt. I bought the pattern in Wisconsin about ten years ago! The good news is, even though that quilt shop has gone out of business, you can still get the pattern from the designer, Elisa Wilson of Elisa's Backporch. I…

Amidst All the Holiday Hoopla….An Announcement
Well, my goodness, things are festive at my house about now! I am planning on spending the day making cookies. Yesterday I took Grandpa for a hair cut in town, and when I got him settled back home, he smiled at me and said "So, what are we gonna to do tomorrow?", like we were…

Fabric Flapdoodle
I love a scrappy quilt, and can usually pull from my stash a nice compatible mixture of prints. The project I am currently working on, Hill Country Baskets, is giving me a real headache. I swear I have cut enough fabric to make about four Hill Country Baskets quilts at this point in time. The…

Time is Going Too Fast
Doesn't it seem as though December just flies by? So many things to do, and the days are over before they begin. I have made some time to decorate, but not on the scale to which I normally aspire. That darn baby is just into everything, and all my decorating seems to be about four…

I’m Still Alive
I have started to get concerned emails from readers inquiring "are you all right?". Yes I am fine. Just super amazingly busy.

All I want to do these days is sew. I don't even need a deadline or a project with a near finish. Just let me sew. Production sewing is just fine. 435 half square triangles? No problem, I'm your girl. I have finished four rows of Lori Holt's Row Along and I like it just…

I’m Better Now
I had a bit of a melt down yesterday. All the caregiving, cleaning, cooking and "doing" finally caught up with me, and I decided I was pretty much done with it all. I needed a long weekend at a resort spa, complete with all the massage and grooming appointments time would allow. That wasn't in…

Some Questions Answered
Sometimes I get a lot of emails and lose track of some of them that have questions about things I am making. This past week or two while I have been so busy making items for the shop and getting ready for Thanksgiving has been one of those periods where a few lovely folks have…

Let It Begin
The last of the boutique items are sewn, embellished, and ready to be delivered to the shop. I think these Zippy bags may be the cutest yet. I used some Cinnamon Stars fabric I had on hand to make them up, and am so pleased with the results. And that little button is the most…

Last Minute Rush
It is a last minute rush around here the past couple of days. Those are the last of the mug rugs in the photo above. You know, I am thoroughly tired of making those things. They really are too much work for what they sell for. People like them though, so I keep producing them. …
