Friday Finish #6
I felt like I rushed this one a bit, but here it is, delivered on time for a Friday Finish. Between getting distracted with another quilt project and Ozzie plaguing the life out of me, it was a bit of a crunch to get this one completed! I am pleased with the way it turned…

My White Couch
I have had a white couch, that white couch in the photo above, for almost 15 years, by my calculation. I picked it out myself and was pleased with the elegant touch it gave my living room. I paid for it on monthly installments, and felt very grown up indeed. It has a creamy damask…

What A Difference A Day Makes
Thanks to the Nancys (Near Philadelphia and In Wisconsin), I got out of my funk regarding Meadowbrook Farm. Actually, thanks to all of you who encouraged me to starch, press, re-think, finish, send it away, or put it up on a shelf in a brown bag forever. You were ALL right! I must admit I was very close…

Nothin’s Goin’ Right
istockphoto I had a little too much fun this weekend. My youngest sister had a graduation party for my nephew Scott on Sunday. He had just recently graduated from high school, and his family was justifiably proud of his accomplishment. It was a terrific party. The place was full of charming young people, both sides of…

Friday Finish #5
Mom discouraged bragging in our house when I was growing up, but I know she would give me some slack if I pat myself on the back for finishing this quilt top. I have been struggling to get this done for more than two years! The first challenge was the appliqued circles. I am…

Pet Peeve
I don't have anything super interesting to blog about today, so I will tell you about one of my pet peeves. Back in April I had a job interview and really wanted to look modern and polished and professional–you know "office worthy". Dress for the position you want, they say. So, Macy's was having this…

Generosity
I have to be one of the most fortunate people in Blogland. Through blogging over the past year and a half, I have made some truly fabulous friends all over the world. Imagine my astonishment when I opened my front door and discovered this package that had traveled all the way from Australia! My friend…

They Say It’s Your Birthday….
Somebody turned one year old. It didn't start out as an unusual day. Maybe a few more snuggles and cuddles and gooney baby talk, but all in all it seemed pretty typical. Then it started to rain treats and chew bones…… And then a flock of turkeys came into the yard to play! Wow,…

Wish Upon A Star
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight……No, not that kind of star. Fabric stars! I pulled out the UFO labeled "Roman Holiday" and got to work on it over the weekend. Lots of stars in this pattern–in fact, it is ALL stars and flying geese! The pattern is Opening Day by Miss Rosie's Quilt…
