Not Vanilla Latte, Quilted
I can't quite get the lighting right, but here is a look at my first layer cake quilt project. I finished the top in June and it has been at Prairiequeens for ages waiting to be picked up and paid for. "Not Vanilla Latte" was finished on June 20, 2008. It was made with a…

This Should Be Easier
Thanks for bearing with me while I make some changes to my page banner. I thought it was time for something more seasonal, but when I went to swap the old picture out with a new one, it turns out that I had forgotten exactly how to do it. If I ever did know. My…

Not So Very Blended Quilt
Greetings friends. I am a bit slow getting on with my fresh week it seems. The weekend went by in a blur, but I did accomplish a couple of things that were high on my priority list. Numero Uno was getting up to Prairiequeens to pick up four, yes FOUR, finished quilts that had been…

Remy Meets Sophie and Gets Tag Teamed
He looks pretty happy in this picture, but minutes earlier, Ozzie (in the rear) and Sophie (on the right) were rolling him around the backyard like a hedge hog. Poor Remy, he and Ozzie used to be best buds, and now that Sophie is in the mix, Rem is odd man out. My two…

Chicken Piccata Penne
Hmm, I kinda forgot about the electrical sockets in the background when I took this photo. My daughter Sara would scold me for being so negligent. Anyway, what you see on my pretty autumnal dish towel are all the ingredients for my speedy but elegant Chicken Piccata Penne Pasta. (I added Fines Herbes and…

Basket/Fan Quilt
On Sunday I went up to Palo Alto to see my father and stopped in at Eddie's Quilting Bee, where my sister Kate and some other friends were sewing together. The shop had changed out all the display quilts and had a lot of new class samples up on the walls. I took a…
