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 […]
Nine patches and pretty fabric! Read More »
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
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

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

Well if you’ve been reading along with me, you might remember that I have a new bee, the 3 x 6 bee that is currently going on. In this bee, you are in a group with 6 other people and you make each of them the same block pattern but use the colors that they

Well it’s a thankfully slightly lazy Saturday morning and I’m sitting here watching my incredibly adorable daughter try to get to her laundry that needs to be folded. It’s taunting me over there with my laundry. Oh and wouldn’t you know it…just as I write this, my darling husband picked up my basket to fold
I finally got to a little sewing. I’ve been so busy with life…agh…that I haven’t been able to sew much yet. But I was able to make one block today. It doesn’t look like too much but it’s always surprising how much time even a simple block like this takes. This block is another house
I’ve been working on some of my projects that are coming up…I got an email today saying that we’re half way through the doll quilt swap already. Agh! Now I’m feeling the pressure. Ironically I was already working on the quilt when I got the email, but it still spurred me on. I feel like
Progress here and progress there Read More »
