File Cabinet Covers
Aren't these purple batiks yummy? I had a Bali Pop of 2 1/2 inch strips and made this over the weekend. It looks like a quilt for a monk's cell cot, but it isn't. The monks and I are on good terms, but are not that close. What it really is, is a cover for…

Sneak Peak at Stunt Sewing Project
This is the quilting design that the fabulous Debbie Thornton at Prairie Queens chose for the quilt I made for my favorite quilt celebrity Rock Star. Don't you love the design of high heeled pumps on the fabric Objects of Desire? OMG, this quilt is seriously adorable. I can't say too much more about it…

Working From Home
I was not able to go to work today. On Friday I had an appointment with my doctor for my annual check up. I am doing pretty well–weight is acceptable, blood pressure a teensy bit high, and cholesterol needs attention. Nothing major. Lucky me. At the end of the appointment, my doctor said "You know,…

Welcome To My Sweat Shop, I Mean My World
It was a gorgeous weekend here in Northern California, or so I am told. I wouldn't know any thing about that because I spent every minute inside sewing on my celebrity stunt sewing gig. You see, as honored as anyone would be to be asked to sew for a major figure in the quilting world,…

I Know What I’ll Be Doing This Weekend…
I have my fabric all cut out for my top secret sewing mission, and placed into carefully labeled baggies. Hmmm, there are a lot of pieces here to sort out. For each block, I need to choose one back ground fabric and three different colored fabrics to form the pattern. My biggest decision is whether…

I am not permitted to say too much about the project, but have permission to give you little sneak peeks of my assignment. The fabric for my project arrived yesterday and…

A Bit of Sewing, A Bit of Shopping
It was a perfect weekend, with time for sewing, time for shopping, and time socializing with the family. I worked on the blocks for the quilt I am making out of the Patisserie jelly roll. I would have finished them I think, but I made a discovery that bummed me out, so I quit. Remember…

Around the Block
Well, the consensus from yesterday's question: Do you wash your finished quilts right away to give them that soft quiltier feel? A resounding YES!!! As Carrie said, it makes them Nap Worthy. So true! While at work this week I have had a persistent, distracting notion that I have not been able to get out…

Garden Fences
A big thank you to all who shopped at my Tuesday Sale this week! I hope that you love your selections when they arrive. I've still got plenty more to sell, so check back next week! The quilt above is the one I recently got out of hock from my favorite quilter. It is an…

Wine and Friends
Aren't these coral roses just the prettiest color? I wanted to do something a little different this weekend when we had company. Coral isn't a color I wear or decorate with, but I think I may have been missing something. It all started with our kitchen table, which we have had for over 30 years. …
