Where’s Ozzie?
Several friends have remarked on the recent posts with photos of Sophie, and wondered how her brother Ozzie is doing. He is doing just fine. Same ol', same ol'. I had thought perhaps he had given up his wild ways and penchant for chewing things up. I had hoped that he had now settled down…

You Just Never Know What is in the Closet
I had such a great time participating in the OP Sew Along that Pat Sloan hosted this weekend! My version of orange was a bit toned down I suppose, but it worked for me. While I was working on the challenge quilt, a little bell tinkled in the back of my mind. I vaguely recalled…

Mission Accomplished
Borders on, last seam sewn, quilt top pressed, photo taken. I am done! Thanks to any of you who were interested enough to follow along with this marathon quilting extravaganza in orange! I enjoyed it and hope you did too.

OP Sew Along Top Finished!
I decided on a diagonal set for my OP Sew Along quilt. There was just *barely* enough of the light fabric left for the setting triangles. I really squeaked by on this one! The results please me very much. It is plenty orange all right, but not in too much of an "in your face"…

Some OP Blocks!

OP Shifting Gears
I have changed my mind. I was rummaging in the back of the stash closet for maybe one more fat quarter of orange, and found an entire bundle of orange, aqua, green and brown fabrics. How could I have forgotten I had this? It is so perfect, I just had to start over. New color…

OP Sew Along Day One
Oh my gosh, how fun is this? I am on a virtual quilting retreat with dozens of women, all of us making a quilt with orange fabrics! I plan to post several times a day during the three days of the Sew Along Pat Sloan has organized. I have my computer all set up close…

New Obsession
Yea! You will all be relieved that this is not a post about batiks. I mentioned yesterday that Pat Sloan is hosting a virtual quilting retreat this weekend. I would put the link to her OP Sew Along on my side bar, but I can't remember how to do it.) If any of you Typepad…

And Sophie Sleeps In
It has been raining cats and dogs, as they say. Last night we had thunder, which is not at all common in our area. Sophie did not like the rumbling one bit and cried and barked until we came and got her out of her crate and took her into our bed. There goes a…
