I Won
Chris from Cats On My Quilts did a little give away recently, and I was the lucky winner. Isn't this little tea mat the cutest thing you have ever seen? She created the pattern from some block ideas that were in this book, which she also sent me: The book is full of cute and…

A Touch of Fall Here, A Touch of Fall There
This past weekend, I got out some of my fall decorations. Gosh, I do love this time of year! I was dying to tack this sweet little autumnal plaque on a wall somewhere, but my husband wouldn't let me put a nail hole in the wall. That's ok, I had other fish to fry. My…

How I Really Have Been Spending My Time

Not Up To Much
I have been a lazy blogger this week. There isn't much going on in my life at the moment. Just enjoying the last lazy days of summer. Can you believe it is September already? Good grief, this summer has flown by. My desire to practice my machine quilting is still very much with me, and…

My Best Ever Machine Quilting Effort
If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you know that it has been my desire to improve my machine quilting skills. I have been practicing my squiggles and loop d' loops and stippling and my results have been well, pretty much just ok. Make no mistake, I am improving, but it…
