Caramel Macchiato
My next project. I will let you gaze upon the wonderfulness of this subtle palette for a moment. Let it sink in. Ahh, the soothing balm of a neutral colored color scheme. Mmmmm. Smell the caramel and the coffee? With a touch of chocolate? Yes. Just a dash of cinnamon, and plenty of cream. Sniff. …

Mystery Quilt
We have to talk. Several people have emailed me to ask for the pattern for this quilt, which I made two years ago at a retreat. I had a blast making the quilt, and have to admit the fabrics were totally copied off another gal at the retreat who was using them as well. I…

76 Geese A’Laying
I lied yesterday when I said I had a hundred flying geese to make. More like 76, it turns out. And they are big devils, 3 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. I have all my units cut out and organized and ready to go. I know I should get going on them, and sew…

My Pond is Polluted
You have seen it in previous posts. This is my Goose in the Pond block that is featured in the Miss Rosie quilt called "Toulouse" that I am working on along with Lisa and Thelma. I only had to make nine of them for the quilt top. Very simple components–you just can't go wrong. Except…
