Another Year
For someone who has decided that less fanfare is better than more when it comes to her birthday, a certain person may have celebrated a bit more than necessary this weekend. It started out low key at the beginning of the weekend, but the party with the family on Sunday sort of did me in. …

William Morris Fabric
On Pay Day, I ordered a bundle of the new William Morris Workshop fabric that Barbara Brackman has come out with for Moda. I love William Morris reproduction fabrics and have a fair sized collection of them. William Morris was an Englishman who is known for his skills as an architect, furniture designer, author, poet.…

These Darn Dogs
During interrogation, Ozzie confessed to the orange shoe incident. We have decided to put him on probation, and keep our shoes out of his reach. His episode with the shoe pales in comparison however, to the things his sister Sophie has been up to lately. Warning: If you are squeamish, stop reading right now. I…

Great Gift, No Sweat
Sometimes it is very handy to make more quilts than I know what to do with. I made this top back in April, 2007. I had it quilted by the fabulous folks at Prairie Queens, and then packed it in tissue and put it away. Sometimes I make quilts just because I love the fabrics…

Prairie Paisley Challenge and a Personal Challenge
Lucky me, I had two half days off this weekend, and managed to finish the cutting of the Prairie Paisley fabric for the challenge Lisa and I are doing this month. She posted a picture of this same exact amount of progress on May 27, but I think she has been out-sewing me and has…

New Challenge Project
From time to time, my friend Lisa and I like to work on the same project. She works on hers in Washington, and I work on mine here in California. We call it a Challenge, but the challenge part is that we encourage each other to keep plugging away at the quilt, and to make…
