Somehow I’ve turned into a blog button designer for a couple of my quilting groups. I totally don’t know what I am doing, but it all comes together in the end. And though my groups are all about fabric and quilting, I don’t end up putting that into the button! LOL. I guess I like

Well I’ve been hard at work finishing up my September bee blocks. I finally have my swap commitments done and before the next round of swaps begin I want to get some work done of projects of my own. What a concept! LOL. But before I get to those, I needed to get some sewing

It already feels like forever ago that I sent off my own doll quilt and I’ve been patiently waiting for mine ever since. Patiently…I promise…really… Well at least I wasn’t obsessing over it. LOL. And then today I got a package that gave me a sneaking suspicion just from the packaging that it was both

Isn’t it lovely when you get things accomplished that have been on your too do list for far too long? That’s what I was able to do this weekend. They are little things, but I actually had a bit of a life this weekend and went to a lovely dinner, dance fundraiser. We got all

This post is devoted entirely to the lovely Marilyn/Spiced Coffee. Today I received the most lovely package from her which she described as a little something extra for our charming mini swap. I thought maybe she sending me a little notepad or something. But no….she fed my love of fabric and my new obsession with

Yesterday I somehow managed to make two different blocks for a couple of my bees, the bee a little bit Japanese and Busy Bees. I’ve had the Japanese fabric from Paula a bit longer, so I wanted to work on that one first. The instructions were to make two blocks that featured wonky houses or
