Oh wow! So I posted in the Quilted Block of the Month group for the first time in over seven months. I thought it was longer, so win! The intervening months have been full writing, quilting, and sales related road trips all over New York state & New Jersey covering my territory. I have a… Continue reading Quilted Block of the Month

Gone Quilting, Day 2
I finished one quilt yesterday. This morning my upper body is reminding me that I haven't done this much quilting in one shot in a loooooooooooong time. Oh how I've missed this! The machine running, the bobbins running out. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended version - about 9 hours) marathon. I started watching disc… Continue reading Gone Quilting, Day 2

. . . a time to tidy
Oh my goodness there is always a good time to tidy. Don't you always find that it's right in the middle of doing something else? Like 9 patches. I've been cutting up all these 9 patches, and the urge hit. No, no wait, no that's not it. Not the urge. No. The necessity of it all… Continue reading . . . a time to tidy
Enjoying and Thankful

These one and a half inch strips are being stitched to orange and purple solid to create 9 patches, that may be set on point, though I'm not quite… Continue reading Enjoying and Thankful

From Seth Godin Today is Pi day, the 14th day of the 3rd month of the fifteenth year... 3.1415 Pi is our most famous irrational number. Not irrational in the sense that it's a foolish argument, a form of wishing for one thing while doing another. No, pi is irrational in a magical, beautiful sense. It… Continue reading Magical Moments

A bit of this and that
Lisa is working on getting the video ready. She's had a bit of a technical delay...the cord to connect the camera to the computer went missing. She searched and searched, with no success. Bang.Head.Here! A new cord procured and Lisa is well on the way. This photo was accidental. Funny, but accidental. The memory on… Continue reading A bit of this and that
