Weird Weather and Product Review
Honestly, we are getting some weird weather. It seems like a few weeks ago it was in the 90s. On Tuesday night it hailed, and then snowed! We might get snow at our altitude, but in early November it is pretty unheard of. And my goodness is it ever cold. Like you don't want to…

Too Many Projects?
I admit it, I have a few projects going on. For some reason, I have always loved doing multiple things at once. I typically am reading three books at a time, I can work and eat lunch at the same time, and I could do housework and fix dinner while nursing the baby. And as…

Quilters Are the Best People
I am one happy quilter today. Look what came in the mail! A week or so ago I posted that I was sorry I hadn't signed up for the Designer Mystery Block of the Month program back in 2015 because it was the best one Fatquarter Shop ever did. Linda E. contacted me and said…

Typepad is Down (Technical Issues Outside My Control)
Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of posts. Typepad has been down all weekend through Monday night when I am writing this. I can't post any pictures. It seems to be a big old mess and I hope they straighten things out ASAP. Halloween was a blast, and I will share a picture of Eva's…

Flea Market Quilt Along
While I waited for Friday to arrive with the next Sewcialites block, I got back in touch with the Flea Market sew-along, which seems to have been abandoned by everyone who started it. It is a nice pattern/booklet by Lori Holt, and I really had high hopes for it to be a fun sew-along. I…

Family Reunion Progress
I have made some real progress with my Family Reunion quilt. I have one more round of blocks to make. The next round will be square in a square blocks that finish at a crazy size: 3 3/8". I wonder if I can use my 3 1/2" square in a square piecing papers and just…
