In 2015 or was it 2016(?) things were in flux. I was re-evaluating what I was doing, where I was headed, what I wanted…  There were a number of things going on that led to this, but it was one of those moments that didn’t seem particularly extraordinary or even interesting, but in hindsight I […]

Have you ever had a project that you felt like giving up on? This one? My June UFO? It was one of those. I had to step back and walk away for days at a time.   It was a Let God, Let Go Moment. Since ....

My favorite chair is a cozy swivel rocker in front of a window. The scene is peaceful. Unfettered. .A long winding crunchy dirt driveway bordered by lush green trees, flowers in a rainbow of colors, and wildlife scampering about.   It’s where I meditate, journal, read ....

 Happy Canada Day!! 

I had the perfect shirt for today, but I've searched everywhere, and I can't find it!! It was orange (in support of our Indigenous peoples and it had CANADA on the front of it with a maple leaf. Now, what the heck could I have done with that shirt? Sigh................

What’s the first thing that pops into your head when people talk about having or not having self-control? I bet it has nothing at all to do with quilts and quilting. The task at hand is: Do not give into the temptation to start a ....

 It's the end of the week! How did that happen? There was so much going on that I just went from one thing to another, and well, here it is - FRIDAY!!

OK - so I didn't get as much done as I wanted yesterday, but I did have fun, and that's what life is all about. I watched one of the presentations for Quilt Canada (in french), and it was great. Amazing how much I still remember after all these years. And it's not even my first language. When I was listening to the French radio station ...

Do you get bored and drift, making quilts? Yeah, me too. That’s one of the reasons I ended up with so many UFOs. The appeal of the project fades a little when you’ve made a bunch of blocks. Or when another quilt catches your fancy. ....

Do you wonder if your patient enough to work on a quilt? To do hand sewing or hand applique? Do you hesitate to start because you don’t believe you’ll have the patience and endurance to keep at it? Believe me, I ain’t that patient, but ....

Life should be fun – and if you love to quilt, it should be fun too. Or why Quilt?So I’m not going to get all in your face about getting those UFOs done. When I started this post I considered writing a post about how ....

Let go of the rules and have some fun creating a funky table runner. Even if you aren’t into contemporary and modern quilts, I hope you’ll give this a try. After all, there’s a season for everything. A season for making those perfectly ordered quilts ....

I had mentioned in my video that I was having issues with my sewing machine. I’ve since learned it was not the sewing machine but the fusible webbing. Some fusible webbing products tends to gum up the needle, which can make the machine skip stitches. ....

What do you do when you have way too many things to do? What should you give up? Especially when doing one sacrifices the other, And to top it off, both are equally important to you. Take the 2021 UFO challenge. Now that I’ve completed ....

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that your safety and well-being are at the kindness of complete strangers? If you think about it for even a second, it kind of scary, isn’t it? It happened to me back when I was a teenager. ....

It takes patience to dig through that fabric stash to find just the right colors, doesn’t it? And if you do happen to come across that perfect, thank my lucky stars, piece of fabric. You just have to hope there’s enough for the block. Here’s ....

Picking up the pieces of my March UFO reminded me of life. As a season ends, a new one begins. The transition isn’t always simple, but you can’t get from here to there without the process. With a quilt, it’s figuring out where you at, ....

Trying to find the balance between having tons of time to finish a project and having almost none is difficult. Do you agree? When you have all the time in the world, it allows you to procrastinate. But once you’ve gone down that road, it’s ....
