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:

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.

Charm Square Quilt

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, [...]

The Girl’s Club Banner

This is The Girl’s Club banner (last names have been smudged in the pic!). I’m in a club of eight girls who meet at least once a year, spending a 4-day weekend doing absolutely nothing but drinking, talking and laughing. I guess we may do a few other things if we get bored, but we [...]

The Blah’s and a bad, bad teacher

As you can clearly tell, Peggi has been busy – very busy! Me, I’m going through a “Blah” period. I’ve got several irons in the fire as far as quilting goes, but nothing sounds fun to make. However, I do have a very interesting story…..
My daughter, Sunday, wanted to make a quilt while she was [...]

A new way to identify your quilt – QR Codes!

Today I read a post from a quilter on one of the quilting message blogs I just joined, Quilting Board. Another quilt lost in transit – and she had just found out it had been juried into the AQS Paducah quilt show!! It made me soooo sad. I got to thinking about my quilts, and [...]

Dresden Plate Finished – Finally!

Finally have a finished quilt to show. This Dresden Plate has been a year in the making.

I started it last May. Designed the top on EQ7 – my first design! Well, maybe it’s not an “original” block or design, but I did it myself! Finished the top and put it on the frame in August. [...]
