Curved Piecing Ahead
(Winding Ways picture off the Internet) One of the things I love about blogging is the people I connect with every day. And Connections=Ideas and Inspiration. (Winding Ways picture off the Internet)I got a comment from Sharon of Grass Roots Quilting yesterday. That isn't too unusual, Sharon is a very cool woman who frequently stops by…

No Quilts in January
Well, no quilts made in January. I had good intentions, and if left alone, I would have finished a baby quilt. However, just as my day was getting started yesterday, I got a call from a co-worker, begging me to take her shift. Her father's cousin's brother's neighbor's girlfriend was giving birth and since she…

An Answered Prayer
Am I lucky or what? Look what came in the mail from the Quilting Fairy! My personal quilting mentor got tired of hearing me complain answered a prayer and sent me a portable design wall she no longer needed. I am telling you, I have no idea, NO IDEA, how I ever managed to exist…

Are We Done Yet?
I rigged up a temporary design wall to display some of my Belle Meade blocks. I stapled-gunned some flannel onto a light weight piece of foam and it works ok, except that it in no way is big enough for this project! In my next quilting studio, I am so devoting an entire wall to…

Mon Amour
Mon Amour is what Carrie Nelson, the creator of this pattern told me I should name my little project. (Photo above is before binding was attached). Carrie's Schnibbles pattern is called Mon Ami, and is seriously one of the best Schnibbles designs ever. Since my recent discovery of a stash of Valentine's fabrics led me…

Valentine to Myself
I should have been working on my Belle Meade blocks, but I got distracted. I was stitching away and found my mind wandering to the idea of making some sort of Valentine's themed table topper for my February tablescape. I had a vague recollection of having some red, pink and white fabric stashed away somewhere… …

Lift Those Spirits
No sewing going on even though I did have a day off. I spent it having beauty treatments. Very Essential Beauty Treatments. I told my husband that I had gone to Monterey to visit my hair dresser to have my hair colored. "But it doesn't look any different", he said when I came home. Well, my dear,…
