Summer Book Recommendations
I know a lot of you are avid readers, as am I. Since I haven't done a book recommendation post in awhile, I thought it was time I share a few books that I have enjoyed recently with you all. I have never read anything quite like this book. The first words in one of…

Travelin’
Can you guess what I am up to? Cutting, that's what. Got my instructions, my zip lock baggies for my pieces, my iced tea–I am good for a marathon cutting session. I am cutting out not one, but two kits for gorgeous Civil War quilts. I am going to be traveling next week to meet…

I Won Something
I was a very lucky winner of a fat eighth bundle of gorgeous fabric last week. Sinta and Sherri are hosting a fun sew along called "Another Year of Schnibbles", and have several sponsors who provide prizes to the participants of the sew along at the end of each month. My name was drawn and…

Business Trip
Did I get your attention? How about that piece of cake, eh? That piece of cake is now a fond memory of my recent trip to San Francisco. This is called "Italian Wedding Cake with Seasonal Berries, Meringue, Zabaglione, and Berry Compote". Amazing. I had it at a very popular restaurant called Rose Pistola. In…

Spools Sew Along Friday Update and a Small Rant
Well, I haven't made much progress on my Spools projects since my post on Wednesday, but I did get a picture from Stephani, who is sewing along with us. This is what she shared: Cute little guys, aren't they? Sorry, I couldn't seem to enlarge the photo, but aren't her colors fresh? The reason I…

Halloween, Anyone?
Welcome, August. Summer is on it's way out in many places, where days are noticablely shorter already and folks' thoughts are turning to fall. Well, here where I live, it is going to be an average of 90 degrees most days until the end of October, but I know it isn't too soon to be…

Spools Variation
I just had to give a Spools update, mid-week. I have been working away at my blocks, and had a light bulb moment. In yesterday's post I commented that I had sewn some narrower strips for my lattice for the Dimestore Schnibble, as the designer, Carrie Nelson, had suggested in her pattern instructions. In my…
