It's been a hectic few weeks. The frame arrived 2 weeks ago and has now been all set up. There were a few delays, ie. my ruler kit only arrived last Thursday and the last day of my workshop also fell in between. Must say I did not expect that much 'mucking' around. It took about a day to set it up in the spare room. Then came an extraordinary protracted trial of trying to find a comfortable height. So I had it a bit higher initially, then decided that I might want it one hole lower and then ...
read moreNovember had just one finish. It was a special one for me because it is made of all Nancy Crow designer fabric. I started collecting the fabric in the mid 1990s and had only used a few pieces of it in quilts over the years since then. It's my favorite pattern to make, 16 patch with a patchwork print cut into 8" blocks placed in with the pieced blocks. It is 62" x 78.5".
I finished 3 quilt tops. The Purple Rosy (Kaffe design) quilt top took up most of the creative time in the month. The original ...

read moreYou might remember I finished this piece, Primitive Merry Christmas Pillow from Abbey Rose Designs, a few weeks ago. This was stitched on a piece of scrap linen. I think it was a smaller count than 40- count…I never did measure it. I can’t tell you the linen name as I didn’t label the piece. …

read moreToday, I was up early to make the phone call to the doctors to get mom in. I ended up leaving a message and waiting. I waited a good 45 minutes and decided to go over and see about making it in person. As I was headed to the bank, I received the call. We had an appointment at 1:45 pm. Yet, I was on my way at 9:00 am. Which left me with 3 hours of waiting.......and waiting. ....
I got to moms and she looked good. I told her of the appointment, and I let my ...

Good morning, my friends. The title of this post probably sounds more ominous than it should. I really only mean it's the beginning of the end of the year. December 1st. It's all downhill from here. When we reach the bottom, it'll be 2026. To this blogger born in the 1950's it has me thinking I've entered some kind of futuristic sci-fi novel. The good news is that I'm the one writing the story...for now, at least.
It was a productive day yesterday. I managed to force myself into getting in a Bowflex ...

I've been thinking about all the turkey dinners this week and put in an order to Farm Boy for our Christmas one. We've done this twice before and enjoyed it very much. Their turkeys are amazing and they even include dessert. Of course, I'll make a couple of our traditional side dishes too and a trifle.
I was switching out the mugs to start using the Christmas/winter ones and thought I'd show this one below again. I'd used Rifle Paper Co fabrics in the Christmas Present quilt I shared last post and here is ... read moreYeah, I know...like I needed a "new" project with all that are already in progress. BUT, I was thinking the other day about how long I have been a quilter and what I really enjoyed (and didn't so much enjoy) about the different techniques that I have learned over the years. The one technique that I have done some of but just didn't like; and now try to avoid is Foundation Paper Piecing. I have friends that love this technique, but it just was never something that I really liked; therefore, I'm not so good at ...
read moreA November sky if ever I saw one...
Milder and wet, then a big freeze overnight turned the morning landscape into an ice covered fairyland. I thought it was hoar frost but I've read since it was rime frost, a dangerous frost for ships at sea. This kind of ice is thick and grows in the direction of the wind.
Here are 36 blocks on the wall. I actually made 38-ish plus parts but some didn't make the cut.
I don't know if this is the final layout or not. When moving blocks around, these are my considerations:
- No arms of the same color next to each other
- No blades of the same color next to each other
- No backgrounds of the same hue next to each other except neutrals. There are several pink/peach tinted backgrounds, several yellow, and a couple green, and I don't want them side-by-side.
- Least favorite blocks go on the far right ...
