A Little of This and a Little of That
Today was blind installation day. A very nice Blind Guy came to the house and spent several hours putting in new blinds in my living room, dining room and master bedroom. Check. One more thing off the list. While he was here, I asked him to help me move some of my furniture back into…

Rural Jardin/Rouenneries Sawtooth Stars
I have moved on to working on my Elizabeth quilt. I am combining fabric groups for this quilt. Mostly I will be using French General's Rouenneries, but my light background is from the 3 Sisters group Martinique, and my fussy cut star centers are from Rural Jardin, the new collection from French General for Moda.…

Now For the Carpets

Created in 1994 in honor of the United Nations Year of the Family, it is an amazing pictorial journey all over the world, where people in various countries bring every single possession they own out in front of their house and pose for a picture.

Madeline, All Grown Up
Isn't she gorgeous? This is Madeline, all grown up. All 25 blocks of her. I am so pleased with this quilt top! It ranks right up there with my all time favorites. And it may be number one in terms of color combination. I think there will be a narrow light containment border, then an…

What’s Wrong With This Picture?
Now this is a novel concept. Not sure if it would work for me so much, but interesting idea. There have just been too many men in my house this week. The place is teaming with testosterone. The men are very nice, but they are just so, so, masculine. They joke around, laugh loudly, bang…

Nooooooooooo
The tile men came to re-do the master bath floors. They put down new concrete to even things out and left for lunch. Sophie got away from me and before I could catch her, she ran through all the wet concrete. She ruined their beautiful smooth work. Why do I have dogs? Does anyone…

I Hadn’t Planned On All the Dust
Cough, cough, ack, ack. My goodness, these men are creating a lot of dust! Take two men with jack hammer like tools and let them at my tile master bathroom floor, and the air is swirling with dust. Woo. Hope the worst of it is over. Today they lay the new tile. In other news,…

Where’d It All Go?
Here is my poor living room, almost empty. We are preparing to have the floors redone and had to move all the furniture out. My gosh, that room is as big as a barn without any furniture. So where's the furniture? Why stacked up in the garage, naturally. See those boxes in the foreground? They…

Martinique
Wow, there was so much interest yesterday in the information on how to expand the size of the Schnibbles Madeline block! If you would like instruction from the quilt designer herself, the fabulous Miss Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., go to her website, where she has provided the information on expanding a block by adding setting…
