Saturday Night Dinner
The past week has been kind of a topsy turvy one, with me busy keeping up with my new puppy Ozzie, with Ozzie figuring out exactly what it is that I want from him, and with my husband adjusting to his new job. We woke up this morning and discovered that TODAY was…

Jealousy
And I thought things were going really well. I love my puppy. He let me sew for several hours on Tuesday. He seemed to be letting me work on my nine patch blocks this morning. Well, he did steal a spool of thread in an effort to get my attention, but I took it away…

Jump, and the Parachute Will Open
This is kinda the way I have been feeling lately. I need to take the plunge, but can’t quite seem to do it. Maybe I need a teensy push? Things are awfully quiet around my house. I am not working anymore; my husband just started a new job, our son moved away to grad school;…

Hidden Meadows
Some of you noticed this quilt in the background of a photo of my Featherweight a week or so ago and asked about it. This quilt is very subtle–what they call a "blended" quilt. All the colors are pretty much the same tones so one print or color just blends into the next, making the…

Happy Birthday Kate!!!
istockphoto OK, I have to admit I stole the idea from my sister Andrea, but the sentiment is still my own. My fabulous sister Kate is celebrating a special birthday today and I want to acknowledge what a great sister she is and how much I love her. Kate and her husband Robert are away…

Like I Said…..
Since my dear son in law needed to use our guest room, the bed in which, I was using as a place to lay out my quilt blocks had to be cleared off. I took your advice and so you can see my stack of a couple hundred snowball blocks and pieced triangles, all stacked…
