Sweet Dreams are Made of these
This Nike commercial popped up into my fb newsfeed: https://youtu.be/b4LrTkWq9jU The Cubs win the World Series. At this point in the day this is not news. As a Yankee fan I'm happy for them. They worked hard, the played the game hard, they won. Kids all over will be sleeping in this morning and quite… Continue reading Sweet Dreams are Made of these

Now here’s a good question for you
"What do you do with the stitching? Are they in quilts?" Good questions both, and answering them seems a good idea. Some stitching is practice. Practice? Yes, I still practice. While I have a good handle on thread, batting, needles, stitching motifs, there is still more to know, more to improve. So sometimes the quilting… Continue reading Now here’s a good question for you

As I stand at the bus stop on Madison these tall buildings and that sky...I keep thinking of quilts to make. It's making me wish for longer days. Or differently… Continue reading The sky at dusk

The best hot chocolate I ever made! or Did I ever tell you about my chocolate hangover?
Last winter was cold, and as such hot chocolate an occasional necessity. One particularly chilly evening I pulled out all of the chocolate stops. Demerara sugar, cocoa powder, left over dark chocolate (yes, I know, what the heck!), vanilla, milk, and some cream leftover from making some holiday dessert. Into the sauce pan goes the… Continue reading The best hot chocolate I ever made! or Did I ever tell you about my chocolate hangover?
