Yesterday was my Birthday, so I decided after finishing up with a customer quilt, that I would spend a little time piecing something I had been thinking about for a while. I very seldom actually SEW anything anymore, so when I do, it becomes a major hassle —- have to get the sewing machine book out [...]

The last of the Fabric Pics
Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I came across these photos of some other fabrics I dyed in my photo folder, so this should be the last of them —- until it gets warm again anyway.
I bought a bolt of the new cotton/silk blend PFD fabric, and played around a little with it.
The fabric is 55% cotton and 45% silk. The thing that [...]
Challenge Quilts
Posted in Uncategorized on January 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Another thing I was working on leading up to Quilting with Machines was to finish up my challenge quilt for the “Quilt As Desired” quilt display. Anyone who registered for the event could purchase a kit to make their challenge quilt (they are all identical) and then quilt it any way they liked. They are [...]

Geeze, yet another month has gone by, and I have not kept up with posting. Could be though that I have been really, really busy — having a really, really terrible month! Started off with some major car troubles (boy do I need a new car), got that taken car of seeing that Josh (DS) [...]
Busy, Busy —- But fun!

Wow, I have really been a slacker when it comes to keeping this blog up to date. I have been so busy trying to get caught up on quilts. I usually complain that the only quilts I get in are custom, and that I seldom get any easy allovers to do. Well —- I finally [...]
Finally, “As Usual” is DONE!!!

I finally finished my wholecloth “As Usual” today. My Gosh, it took me longer to do the painting than it did to mark, quilt, and bind it. I am SO glad to have this done! And …. I am really pleased with how it looks now that it is finally what I had envisioned. I [...]
Such a Pack Rat!
Posted in Uncategorized on June 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
My son is such a pack rat, but only of OLD stuff. He loves any old fashioned stuff in general (because he’s saving it from being thrown away). Yesterday I heard him pull in and then yell for me to come out and see what he found (what now, I ask myself <G>).
This wonderful old 1957 [...]
Finally Recovered from the MQS Trip
Posted in Uncategorized on May 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Okay, so it’s been almost two weeks since I got home from MQS, but geeze, I’m still not totally caught up with every thing. My dear family is not the greatest at keeping things cleaned up while I’m away, so the first couple of days back are for cleaning (yippee!). Then of course there are is [...]
Almost done………

Finally finished up the binding on my quilt last night, which was a major PITA! The picture is of one of the corners my quilt, and you can see why it was such a pain. Got it washed this morning, and with the help of DS, it is blocked out on the deck (hopefully dry by now). Tomorrow I [...]
