Let’s Talk About “Dumbing Down”
There has been much discussion in the past week about the "dumbing down of quilting". I have been giving the topic a lot of thought and wanted to share my feelings with you. First of all, what does "dumbing down" mean? Basically, it is a negative term for things that are overly simplified, specifically to appeal…

Penultimate Eventide Post
I love that word, penultimate. Means next to the last, if you need to look it up. I was off a week on the deadline for our Eventide reveal, which has turned out to be a very good thing! I finished my quilt top, or so I thought, and folded it up and tossed it…

Hello Sunshine, and Let’s Meet a New Friend

California, Land of ….
RAIN! It sure would be nice to be able to actually use this gas grill. I am telling you, Friends, it is wet where I live. Well, at least the grass is green. If it ever stops raining, I will replant those clay pots with summer annuals. Good sewing weather though. And I have some…

All Wrapped Up!
I swear, this quilt made itself. I LOVE this quilt. It is from a pattern by Artichoke Collection called All Wrapped Up. Not sure if you if you can find the pattern any more. I was told the partners who were Artichoke Collection split up. 🙁 The applique was super simple, but for some reason (probably…

Speed Demon
I can't even tell you how fast this went together! I started it around 9:30 and it was to this point by noon! Whew. Aren't those black and white prints adorable? The next step is the applique flower that goes right where the "ribbons" come together. I may not get to that for a couple…
