Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. One might think I have a love affair with coffee, and one would be right. I love me some good coffee from grinding the beans to sipping slowly as I wake up.

there was some quilting happening here
Valori Wells gave me this fabric line at Fall Market in Houston. I've finally made something. I like making things, useful things.

Video edited!
A way back, oh so long ago Lisa Calle and I met at Olde City Quilts to shoot some video. Lisa had some troubles by way of not finding the cord that connects her camera to the computer so there was a "failure to communicate".
