Star Gazing
I have been having fun this past week. It was my birthday over the weekend, and I celebrated the day with my sister Kate, by going to a UFO (Unfinished Objects) sewing group. I think it may be going on a year since Kate and I attended this sewing group, of which we used to be "regulars". Kate…

Dancing Eyes
I received an interesting comment last week from Peski Patti (no blog). I would be so interested to see if you agree with her or not. Let's get a dialog going as to our preferences. I will quote her comment here: "One thing I don't care for in a quilt is a block or two that…

Off You Go, Elizabeth
I got Elizabeth off to the quilters finally. I swear it took me two weeks to buckle down and get the borders on this quilt! I put it on my bed and pretended it was all quilted and ready to snuggle under. Thank you Wendy of Quilting and Life for giving me this wonderful idea. I picked…

Nautical State Fair
Thanks for all your support yesterday in regard to my very unsatisfactory experience with Sarah's Fabrics in Lawrence, Kansas. I am happy to say that when I called the shop to give my credit card for the refund, a young woman (who I am sure had been warned about what a b—h I was) was…

Under the Deep Blue Sea
I have really switched gears with my Neptune quilt. I started out with the idea that I would use mostly medium and dark fabrics, and not add in a lot of contrasting lights. That was ok, but well, sorta dark overall. Then my fabric guru suggested that maybe the addition of some lights would really add…

Neptune by Tula Pink
If you didn't buy any of this fabric collection when it was readily available, I am truly sorry for you. Truly. I am deeply sorry that I didn't urge you more strongly to buy it when you could get your hands on some. So sorry. I will endeavor to be more on top of things…

State Fair
Hey, did anybody besides me jump right on the June Schnibbles project, State Fair? Talk about a cute pattern. I have had this on my To Do list ever since it was released. Terrific selection Sinta and Sherri! I had a layer cake of a collection called Odyssea by MoMo, an adorable Japanese designer for…

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall
I have been playing around with fabric, patterns and ideas this week. Quite often after I do a diagonal set (Elizabeth), and a lot of half square triangles (Elizabeth), I am in the mood for some simple piecing and a straight set. Here is a pattern I am thinking of making. Looking Glass by Miss…

I Know It Was Right Here Somewhere…
Now that Elizabeth is all done (except for those last borders), I thought I would pull out another piecing project I started a few months ago. My Mojo/Ridiculously Cute Basket Blocks. I had completed all but three blocks; 33 out of the 36 I needed for the top. But, what the heck? Where were my…

My Life Is A Long Weekend
Hope all of you are enjoying the long weekend. How I used to look forward to a three day weekend! And envy the Europeans for their monthly "bank holidays". Now that I am not working, it seems that one day flows into the next, making my life one long weekend. Whatever you are doing, I…
