A Weekend Full of Finishes
A fellow quilting blogger recently asked the question "At what point in your quilt construction do you get bogged down?" There were plenty of different answers. Some folks let their quilts sit for months before they get the bindings sewn on. Others love making the blocks, but hate the lay out and row construction. I…

The Day After
Good morning. This is my sleepy self saying, "Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving". Mine was lovely, and I seem to be operating in low gear today.

Isolation
"Tap tap tap….is this thing on? Anyone there?" I think I am done with the being on my own during the week business. I am lonely. TV has no appeal, and reading is ok, but I want something more. I play with the dog and I goof off on the computer, but those activities, no…

Seeing Red
I'm seeing red alright, but in a good way! I found the fabulous border fabric above for my Red and White Snowball quilt challenge. My plan is to add a narrow black containment border, and then a wider border of this pretty red print. Inkwell Prints by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics. Sophie, my little…
