Weekend Table Runners
Did you have a good weekend? Get any sewing done? The weather was damp and dreary here, and it seemed like a much better idea to stay inside and sew rather than clean up the yard. Spending time organizing my closets and tossing out some old clothes would have probably been more productive, but I…

Slug A-bed
This little Princess and the Pea would be my Sophie, posing delicately while she catches a few zzzz's. She has taken to climbing into bed with me after her morning walk with my husband and Ozzie. After leaping onto me and licking my face thoroughly, she curls up against my tummy and we make like…

Pineapple Carrot Bread
There is an awesome little coffee shop right near where I work. It is called the Carmel Coffee Roasting Company, and they do indeed have wonderful coffee. What I like best about the place is that it is the kind of place you WANT to go to every morning. The staff is friendly and if…

My Favorite Spring Quilt
This is a quilt I made years ago. Six or seven years ago at least. It remains one of my very favorite little quilts to put out during the Springtime. The quilt was very simple in its construction. You sew various sized strips together in long rows, and them randomly connect all the rows. The…

Spring Decorations
I know it is probably too soon to put the umbrellas away, but I sure have been excited about getting some fresh Spring colors into my decor. Have you decorated yet? Easter will be here on April 12, just a month from now. Even if you don't celebrate Easter, do you change out any of…

Now I’m Annoyed
I wasn't even going to post on this subject, because I thought it had been resolved very nicely. I recently ordered a batik fat quarter selection from a very well known online fabric company that specializes in batik and Asian fabrics. The color selection was to be raspberry. Eight beautiful fat quarters all in shades…

Easter Batiks
Now that Daylight Savings time has begun again, the Vernal Equinox is just a couple of weeks away, don't you just want to ditch the turtlenecks and boots and get out your cropped pants and tee shirts? Wear bright springy colors? Change into that cute straw summer hand bag? Use some self tanner and get…

Dogs On Safari
Hey everybody, greetings from Newport Beach! The family and I are on vacation, something we haven't been able to do together since Ozzie and Sophie came to live with us. We used to have the aged grandparents take care of our dog while we went away, but they are getting a bit doddery and aren't…

Simple Baskets
That was such an interesting discussion of whether or not our pets should be allowed on our quilts. The general consensus was that they should be, unless they might potentially damage the quilt (due to sharp nails or a tendancy to chew on them). We quilters are an open hearted and generous breed. I…

Double Decker Dogs
Here are my sleepy dogs, settling in for their morning naps. They have had their walk and their breakfasts, and are going back to bed for a little lie in. They can be good sometimes. For short periods of time. And yes, that is one of my favorite quilts that Ozzie is lying on. Zuzu's…
