Happy Monday
I opened a treasure chest today. Recently some of my blogging friends and I have been discussing a new Challenge we want to participate in together. I don’t want to spoil the fun by saying too much about it just yet, but I will say that I went out to my stash storage area to…

So, What’s On Your Bed?
Here you see a photo of the quilt that is currently on my bed. I just changed things out yesterday to have more of a fall feel to the decor. This is a Thimbleberries sampler quilt I made ages ago. I used a Thimbleberries pattern and all Thimbleberries fabrics. I am a bit over my…

Two Quilts Back from the Quilter
I recently got a couple of quilts back from my quilter and thought you might like to see the pretty all over quilt patterns they used. Here is my Retro Halloween Quilt (the back of it).

Quilts from Sunday’s UFO Group
My UFO (Unfinished Objects) group meets three times each month. We have been meeting for years and have gotten to be such good friends. We just work on whatever projects we choose to bring to the meeting and spend as much time (or more) chit chatting than we do sewing. It is relaxing and fun…

Blogging Friends
My mailbox had a fun little treat for me last week. I have to walk a block down my street to get to my mailbox, so sometimes, especially if I am out and about or otherwise occupied, I don’t check it every day. Imagine my delight when I finally went to unload its bulging contents…

One Binding Done
There you see the last stitch in my binding for my Fall Sunflowers quilt. I challenged Lisa to get one quilt bound by Sunday night, not so much to push her into finishing one, but to push myself! It is such a good feeling to put that last stitch in. I find any kind of…

Bindings
I’ve been working on bindings this week. So many quilts with just the bindings to do. I have no idea why I procrastinate completing this last step in my quiltmaking. I have just a bit left to do on the quilt pictured above, then I plan to start on getting the binding on my Halloween…

Finding the Perfect Pumpkin
istockphoto How do you pick the perfect pumpkin? Last year Sara and I went to a couple of local pumpkin farms in the hope that we would find that elusive item. Dressed in our cutest fall outfits, we trudged down row after dusty row of pumpkins searching for the right ones. Dodging little kids on…
