Sparklers
My favorite memories of celebrating the Fourth of July as a kid certainly involved family reunions, great food, and staying up late to watch fireworks over Belleville Lake. But the BEST thing about the Fourth was getting to hold a sparkler. How I loved those silly things. Way into my teen aged years. I bet…

The Weekend Is In Sight…
Not a heck of a lot of sewing going on this week. My hour a day plan has been temporarily derailed, but I plan to get back on schedule this weekend. My two jobs have eaten into my free time this week, as I have been putting in some extra time at one of them. …

Moor Is Moor Finished!
I am just so happy with the way this quilt top turned out! I used the pattern Summer Wind by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., and the beautiful fabric collection Wuthering Heights by 3 Sisters for Moda. I got the idea to use this fabric with that pattern from Camille Roskelley (Simplify) who made the exact…

Where Am I Going, and Why Am I In This Handbasket?
Where am I going, and why am I in this hand basket? I tell you, things are falling apart around here. The beds are unmade, the laundry is piling up, the dishwasher needs unloading, there are crumbs on the floor, and we are not even going to address the dust issue. So why can't I…

Ok, man alive, did I get comments from you all yesterday! Didn't realize I had struck such a nerve. So, here is the untrimmed block I made with the wonky, not so perfect flying goose unit. As you see, the block did come out a bit wonky. I believe though, with proper trimming, this block…

Fess Up.
You all know I was making flying geese units last week. Most of them turned out fine and dandy like the one pictured at the top of my photo. A few turned out not so great, like the one below. See how the fabric doesn't match up at the top? Obviously, both units need trimming…

Movies That Changed Your Life
Have you ever seen a movie that literally changed your life? Think about this for a bit. Really think about it. Then blog or email me about it! I would love to know what meant something to you. I found this such a compelling topic for thought, that I have challenged my husband and son…

Flying Geese
I know I was just talking about Flying Geese blocks in my post yesterday, but these geese are for a different project. I had two half days to sew over the weekend, and divided my time between two UFOs that have been calling out to me. I know, Prairie Paisley was crying out plaintively for…

Goose in the Pond
Months ago (never mind how many…) I started a making a quilt that I had been planning in my mind for a year or more. I knew the pattern I would use would be Toulouse, a wonderful offering by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Carrie made her quilt in a Christmas fabric collection that was current…
