My Iron
This bleak little picture is of the iron in my sewing room. No, I am not particularly proud or fond of this iron. Perry challenged me to post on the subject of my iron, and I have to admit, it is a bit of a sore topic. You see, this is the THIRD iron I…

Look What Mary Did!
This happy lady pictured above is Mary Wood from Australia. Some of you may remember that she won my leftover blocks from the Return to Sender quilt I made awhile ago. A few people have emailed me to ask what Mary ever did with those blocks, and I am happy to share the finished project…

While the Cat’s Away, the Mouse Will Play
My DH has been gone for six days, and I my attention is beginning to wander. No, not to another man. Two words, people. Pottery Barn. I think I may be in love. With all the freedom I have had this week, I managed to get out and do some window shopping. Only I didn’t…

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
This is what I am supposed to be working on. As you see, I haven’t made much progress, beyond fondling the fabric for the first block. I am participating in the Web Sampler Celebration and need to be getting these 12 blocks of the month going. The blocks were all designed by Paula Barnes of…

Red and Green Woes
It isn’t like me to be in a quandry about what project to work on, but that is just where I found myself last week. Do you ever find that you can spend a day deep in thought about quilting projects, and at the end of the day, have accomplished exactly nothing except making a…

Why, I Oughtta…..
Ozzie! What did you do? Look at me…. Bad dog. That is not a toy. That is a very expensive ball of yarn I was saving for something. How did you get that? Oh Ozzie. What am I going to do with you? I was in my sewing room, trying to cut out the red,…

I’m A Grandma, Sort Of…
Sorry I dropped out of sight there for a few days after my Blog Give Away. Life just got hectic. Or maybe I just got lazy! Part of my problem is that I am having a terrible time trying to decide upon my next project. I thought I had it all figured out, but now…

Congratulations!
Today is the day to pick a winner of my Blogging Friendship quilt! I printed out and cut out all 140 comments to my Blogiversary post. Then, I dumped all of Ozzie’s toys out of his toy basket and put the paper strips in it. My assistant put his nose in the basket and selected…
