Friday Finish #2 and Peace With Ozzie
Here is Ozzie, still sitting on a pile of Posh fabric and chewing on his bone. He is behaving though, and keeping right next to me on the bed next to my sewing machine. For now, the devil horns have been replaced by a halo. I guess he really likes this fabric line. I had…

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH (Sound of Nicole Screaming)
The kids are coming home for a visit this weekend, so I thought "Nicole, you had better get Posh Baskets off the guest bed". I had a gazillion little pieces laid out because the setting is really complicated (to my feeble brain anyway). There are two sizes of lattice, 10 1/2 inches and 11 1/2…

Does Anyone Recognize This Pattern?
I have had so many people ask me the name of this pattern, and I simply cannot recall where I got the idea for it. Do any of you recognize it from a book or a pattern? All I know is that I finished it in March of 2005. The fabric looks as if…

Some Big Helper You Are
I am determined to get some sewing done around here. Ozzie, who just yesterday indicated his willingness to help me in any way he can, has completely reneged on his promise. I swear, as God is my witness, this dog has gotten on my last nerve. First he got into my purse and stole my brand…

This Time, I Really Mean It
Seriously, I should just come up with a new category called Unfinished Quilts. Or maybe I need to add a new side bar that is entitled Gallery Of Shame, and show pictures of all my unfinished projects. The Rigid Quilter has moved to my house from Florida, where she was previously living with Karen Dianne,…

Posh Baskets Nears the Finish Line
It sounds like a horse race doesn't it? My thoroughbred Posh Baskets is performing well now that I resolved the problem of the triangle pieces that are below the base of each basket. For some reason, when I was constructing the blocks, the seam allowance kept getting cut off and the basket bases had blunted…

Quilt in a Weekend
This quilt top took just over six hours to make. Seriously, you could do it in a weekend, with no great effort at all! The quilt is made with a jelly roll (I used two), so the cutting is just about done for you before you even get started. You do have to cut the…
