What Not to Do List
So, my laptop is fried and I can't connect my camera to my husband's computer to post any quilting pictures, so I am relying on Getty Images to inspire me with blog topic ideas. The photo above got me thinking about unfortunate things that could have been avoided had they been on my master DO…

Uh oh.
I had a little accident yesterday. I was drinking my morning coffee while I read my email and somehow managed to knock my cup over and spill coffee all over my laptop keyboard. Ooops. It started making a terrible crackling noise and then… No, it didn't burst into flames like the one in the picture above, but…

Something to Feel Good About
I had a productive weekend! Maybe not so much as Lisa, who has been on her annual Quilting Retreat, but still, I did all right. What you see in the picture above is the center part of the Flowers for Clara quilt, a pattern by Bonnie Blue. I love this. LOVE this. This is a…

Another Way To Do It
Hi there everyone. Have a good weekend? Me too. While I was puttering around in my sewing room, fondling all the lovely cream colored strips my swap partners have been sending me for the Red and White Snowball challenge, I had an idea. The swap strips are five inches wide, correct? The pattern calls for…

Just Puttering
I don't have anything particularly interesting to share with you all today. I had the afternoon off, but instead of using it productively, I shopped for the ingredients to make an Indian Chicken Curry, and puttered about in my sewing room. The mess you see in the picture above is the now borderless red and…

Flowers for Clara
Now, these blocks are not sewn together, just laid out on the design bed, but you can see how this top is coming together! Don't the blocks make a cool design when rotated the way they are? The pattern and fabric was a kit I bought from Bonnie Blue Quilts, a shop specializing in reproduction…

Hanging Head in Shame
My son discovered this quilt top in my sewing room and asked me why I hadn't had it quilted. "Too many quilt tops, too little money" was my answer. He said he would pay to have it quilted if he could give it to someone special in his life. How could I say no to…

Missed the Deadline
This is a good example of why it isn't a good idea to leave things until the last minute. My plan was to whip Cindy Lou Who together on Saturday when I had the whole day off. My nine patches were done, all I had to do was make the snowball stars. I laid the…

What’s Going On?
I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on! I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big. I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest…

Old Quilts
My sister Andrea was given the old quilt pictured above. She has been blogging about her dilemma concerning this quilt on her blog Under A Blue Moon, and has asked me to post a picture of it and raise the questions that have been on her mind. You see, this quilt is in not such…
