Dazed and Confused
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is…

Everything is a Total Mess
We are topsy turvy here. I think I have been avoiding my sewing room for two reasons: 1) It needs a massive de-clutter/de-stash and 2) the world's most difficult, confusing and frustrating quilt has been on my design wall for months. So this weekend, I tackled the clutter. I filled bins with fabric that is…

Well That Didn’t Go Well
I went to the dentist yesterday for a routine check up and cleaning. I had been to this dentist before, but had taken an almost two year hiatus from visiting him due to various reasons. I knew I was overdue for a cleaning so I bit the bullet and scheduled myself for an appointment. Let…

Reading Slump?
Have you ever been the victim of a reading slump? There is nothing worse, really. Wanting to pick up a really engrossing book and not having any idea where to begin is just torture. Well, never fear, I have some ideas for you! Four of these books are quite long, and one is rather short. …

Two Blue Quilts
Amidst the craziness that is beginning to define this summer, I managed to dig out two quilts that I simply must send out for quilting. The one above I think I made ten years ago believe it or not. Yes, time to get that baby quilted. It is half square triangles set into stars and…

Sushi!
My son in law knows how to do things right. He hired a professional sushi chef to come to his house and prepare five hours of sushi for 16 guests. It was amazing. Just imagine this happening in your own home and not a restaurant! The sushi master brought an assistant and they made the…

This and That
I am working sporadically on a couple of different projects. Honestly, I have it on my calendar to sew at least one hour a day, but it just has not been happening. I seem to always be going for a walk with my friend, reading a book or taking Eva to swim practice. Despite my…

Short Line
This is just a quick post on a quilt I have been enjoying lately. It is called Short Line, and is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. It was made with fabrics from various American Jane (Sandy Klop) collections, designed for Moda. It is a gorgeous quilt and although I have had it for…
