Shave ice?? What the heck is shave ice?
Going to the big Pajama Day Sale in Shipshewana Friday? Don’t miss this!
This is shave ice.
It’s totally addicting. And what does this have to do with quilting? Everything! I go to Shipshewana in Indiana every few months to shop for fabric at Yoder’s and Lolly’s. And whenever I go, I always stop here for [...]
Retired!
Today is my first official day of retirement. It’s my second attempt – the first one ended when I felt guilty about being healthy and not working to contribute to our household. What was I thinking?!?!?!?
I’ve decided to celebrate my day with a trip to Shipshewana to do some fabric shopping at Lolly’s…
and Yoders…
….stop [...]

Memorial Quilts from clothes
Mom passed away 15 months ago. She was a vibrant, active 75 year old woman, who fought a courageous battle with lung cancer. She hadn’t smoked in over 35 years. I’m going to make quilts from her clothes.
She was well loved by all of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
I’ve had all of her clothes [...]

The hardest easy quilt I’ve ever made.
This quilt made me want to tear my hair out. Literally.
It is the quilt from hell that I made for an angel’s wedding. Certainly doesn’t look like it should be that difficult for a fairly seasoned quilter, does it?? I learned so many lessons making this quilt that I could rival War and Peace in [...]

An odd thing to get excited about….
Is it really okay to get excited about an ironing board? I mean over-the-top, dancing-around-the-sewing-room, my-lord-the-wife-has-lost-her-mind kind of glee? Because that was what you saw at my house when I set this baby up.
I was SO tired of constantly tugging and pulling on my ironing board cover, which would pull up and roll over the [...]
The most AMAZING Christmas present!
So, I open my extra-large Christmas squishy from Peggi, and I’m just going to tell you about the best present first.There’s a little package contains a map:
…and I’m thinking, HUH? Houston? I don’t live in Houston, and neither does she. Then I open the map and I see this:
….a fact sheet for the Embassy Suites [...]
What….a….mess!!!!!
Hit the wrong key and everything – I mean everything – crashed. We’ve got to re-build. Luckily, we have all our posts, so they just have to be imported. Otherwise, everything else has to be re-created. Ugh. Bear with us, we’ll be back as quickly as humanly possible!
My New Favorite Notion – and a DUH! moment
My blog partner, Peggi, sent me an awesome squishie last week, filled with patterns, fabrics and do-dads. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that when I get a squishy the first thing I do is squeal, jump up and down and begin petting fabrics. However, when I opened this one the first thing that [...]
Pre-sashing isn’t always a good thing…..
I’m working on the charm square quilt for my niece, and am loving the way it looks. I am absolutely in love with the Needles & Wool flannel fabric line and must get more soon. However, all is not going well with this quilt.
I am a firm believer in pre-sashing. I can’t tell you [...]
Charm Square Quilt
Well, it’s been a while and I’ve been remiss in posting. Thank goodness for my partner-in-quilting, Peggi, for keeping things going! Just got back from a whirlwind visit to Florence, Italy to see my niece, Kylee, who is doing a Fashion rotation there for a quarter through Kent State University in Ohio. It was amazing, [...]
