Miles To Go Before I Sleep
So this is what 200 4 1/2" blocks looks like. It represents a lot of sewing. I wish I could show you the blocks, which are super cute, but I can't. This is a stunt sewing project I am doing for a well known quilt pattern designer, and I am sworn to secrecy until the…

All Hat and No Cattle
That expression has long amused me. What does it mean? All hat and no cattle means someone who talks a good line, but doesn't have much in substance to back it up. And maybe that is what I have been guilty of lately. I sure have a lot of ideas for quilting projects, but haven't…

Boo Hoo, Got Nothin’ To Do
Rain. And more rain. We are getting tired of it, Sophie and I. She doesn't get her walks on schedule, and is going out of her mind with boredom. Today I took her for a little ride in the car, just to get her out of the house, and she actually seemed to enjoy it. …

Spring Has Sprung
It's Spring at my house. I know we have three more weeks until it is official, but I am ignoring that measly fact. Time to change out the couch pillows for the season! This is Pottery Barn's Spring offering, which works very well for me. They also have an adorable print with birds on it,…

Beach Cottage It Is

Somebody Stop Me
In the past couple of weeks I have started five new projects. Five. Cut out the fabric, made a few blocks and carefully placed everything in a project box. I am very excited about each of these new projects, but am feeling a bit schizophrenic. Which one shall I focus on? I truly cannot decide. …

Dining Alfresco
The Europeans have a great idea when it comes to dining alfresco. They do it every chance they get. When I have traveled in Europe, one of my favorite things was to notice how many ways people ate their meals outside. An Italian family, spied from the balcony of my hotel room in Pienza–in their…

Could I Be Any Lazier?
I don't know what is up with me this week. I feel so lazy it is embarrassing. Go to work? I don't wanna. Sew? I don't wanna. Read a book? Maybe, if I can lie down and prop it up on a pillow. And maybe have someone turn the pages for me. Maybe I have…

Morris Garden
Ever since the quilt historian/fabric designer Barbara Brackman came out with her two William Morris inspired fabric collections, I have been unable to come up with a good idea as to how to use them. I know, how pathetic. But no matter how I toyed with ideas in my mind, nothing seemed to grab me. …

The Girls Had Fun
My daughter Sara is going on vacation to Hawaii in a few weeks. The purpose of the trip is for her and her husband to attend the wedding of some very dear friends, but if anyone I know needs a vacation, it is Sara. I won't go into all the details, but suffice to say,…
