Strip Quilt
Over the weekend, I made some progress on my Strip Quilt, using the Jocelyn fabrics by Sentimental Studios for Moda. There are two blocks in the quilt, a "flower block" shown above and a chain block made up of green, white and yellow. There are two units within the flower block. One is a simple…

Two Color Quilts
Go have a look at the fabrics a couple of the gals are using for their two color quilt projects. Yummy, yummy. By the way, a couple of people have inquired if the two color project can be something other than a bed quilt. Of course! Anything goes. Pillows, tote bags, table toppers, table runners–whatever…

Oh No. Not Again.
He did it again. I have never heard of a dog who hates irons as much as my Ozzie does. What is this? The third or fourth iron he has executed? This was my extra back up iron that I bought for the retreat. Luckily I didn’t spend too much on it and it wasn’t…

My Happy Ironing Board
Normally, I would not dream of sharing a glimpse of my laundry room with you. It is pretty much a shambles with lingerie hanging everywhere, car washing towels waiting to be put away, baskets full of dirty clothes waiting to be washed, clean clothes waiting to be folded. But here is something I am proud…

Good Bye, My Friend
Sorry, life has gotten in the way of my blogging this week. Sadly, a very dear friend passed away last week and my husband and I drove down to Los Angeles for his funeral. Our friend was Carl Belfor, a man of so many talents and fine attributes that this post would go on until…

Red and White Discovery
One of the activities planned for the Quilting Retreat was a UFO exchange. We were all supposed to go through our UFO’s and choose one to trade or give away while up at the retreat. The theory being one person’s garbage is another person’s treasure and all that. So, in preparation for the exchange, I…
