Well thanks to my fabulously talented genius husband, my sewing machine was up and running by the next day! I had cleaned and cleaned and cleaned, but I married the right man, because he can clean even better than I can. First he found another piece to take off the machine to allow more access […]

Ugh! Tonight has been an exercise in futility. I have scads of sewing to do and my machine is of course acting up. It’s been fine…I’ve been using it a lot, yes, but I take pretty good care of it. I try to clean it pretty regularly. Tonight my machine could not be placated. I

Well my very first mug rug swap is complete! You might remember the mug rug that I made…it was a while ago, but it had a sunbather, some beach umbrellas, and water (plus a bunch of tiny details!). Well, I was finally able to send that and my whole little package off to my swap

oh how time flies some days! I didn’t realize that it had been so many days since I had posted! A whole 3 days! Gasp! The Horror! In my defense, because I was not blogging, I was getting some sewing done. And let’s be honest. If I don’t sew, then I really don’t have anything

Last night I got to work on my October blocks for Brioni for Busy Bees. I feel so much more in control now that I don’t have as many bees…it was really hard to keep everything straight. I still have plenty going on, so I like to finish blocks as soon as I can for

Well folks, I’ve had to make some decisions lately about my priorities…don’t we all? And looking at my schedule of projects that need to be completed (or started!) I’ve realized that I’m a little over extended. I had to make the tough decision about what to let go. The most logical thing seemed to be
This quilt has been a long time in the making. I believe that I started the blocks over 3 years ago. I had just discovered modern quilting and this was my very first attempt at not using a pattern for the blocks. Improvising was a completely new concept for me! I had a bit of

This is one of the first baby quilts that I made for a friend a few years ago. They, like us, struggle with fertility and they had decided to adopt a beautiful boy from Guatemala. It was very exciting to be part of their journey from home inspections, to placement, to knowing they were finally

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
