Trying to Catch Up
Lisa of Stashmaster and I both bought the fatquarter bundle called Roman Holiday by Moda. We emailed back and forth quite a bit, tossing out possible patterns that would be appropriate with this pretty, not too Christmassy fabric collection. One detail we decided was that since the collection was released as a Holiday group, the…

Christmas is Coming and the Goose is Getting Fat
The Fat Goose would be me of course. Where did these four new pounds come from I ask you? I have been working hard getting my holiday decorations out, and I am pretty sure I have missed at least a couple of meals. Go figure. I need to get a grip on it though, and…

Too Many Choices!
Even Ozzie has had enough. He has been following me from room to room all morning long, wondering what the heck I am doing with all these arm loads of fabric. He can’t figure it out, and I doubt if I could make him understand. Some of my blogging friends and I will be starting…

Oh no.
Since Thanksgiving is over, I figured it was time to get out some Christmas decorations, including Christmas quilts of course. The quilt pictured above is one I got back from the quilter just before last Christmas. I put it out, but in all the holiday hub bub, didn’t get a chance to really study…

The Postman Always Rings Twice
Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Well, it wasn’t the postman, it was the Fed Ex guy, but he did ring twice. When I went to the door, he was staggering under the weight of a gigantic and heavy cardboard box that said JJill on the sides. Hmmm, I don’t remember ordering anything from JJill, but hey,…

Have a Happy Fall Weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone! Hope yours is full of family, relaxation, good food, and happiness. Home is where my heart is these days. Here is Ozzie in a rare moment of quiet. He likes to cuddle on the couch wrapped up in my favorite bathrobe every morning.

All of Cupcake
Several of my blogging friends have told me that "Drumbeat" has been published in the past couple of weeks, so I no longer am reserved about not showing my "Cupcake" version of the new Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company pattern. The piecing was quite simple–just quarter square triangles and nine patches. I had the most fun…

Cupcake
I’d like to introduce you to my version of Cupcake, the Carrie Nelson Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company pattern Lisa and I were given when we took Carrie’s class at The Buggy Barn this August. Carrie’s version was blue where mine is brown. The pattern is not released yet, but my understanding is that when it…
