New versus Classic! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Regarding the headphone issue, I am using a pair of Shokz—they are also referred to as open-ear buds. I LOVE them, but while I can hear things around me, they do NOT block out the noise of the sewing machine or the long arm. So as I'm cutting and ironing, they are amazing, but the minute I start to sew, the machine's noise overrules the audiobook! And the long arm is even worse!

I'll try the old headphones one more time, and then if I can't jiggle that connection, I'll ditch them and get ...

Digital Disaster from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Yep --- I'm a believer in the scale as well for keeping weight under control! I check at the gym twice a week. But in all fairness to myself, I don't really need to lose weight—OK—10 pounds would be amazing, but I want to tone up, and that is measured by BMI!!! 

It doesn't matter what measurement type you use, but sadly, we need to keep on top of it! As we age, our metabolism slows, so we have to be even more diligent. 

I don't let pain stop me from walking. There are days ...

Storage Woes from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

My storage woes are far from being over. Every place I look - Google Drive, One Drive, my laptop -- everything is red-lining! The biggest issue is I need help understanding what is going on. I have files that are sitting on my phone that are also sitting on Google Drive. Some of them do not download when I download from my phone, but I see that I can do that manually on the computer. I best try downloading today and then manually moving what doesn't come automatically. 

And despite deleting many emails, the storage space has not budged. Why is ...

Tidbits From My Email… from Jo's Country Junction

I thought I would share a few emails that have been sent to me from readers… The first comes from Leslee. After her father passed away, she took his shirts and made a quilt for her mother. She said she was inspired after seeing the Show Off quilts that both my daughter Kelli and I …

New Hobby from From the Strawberry Patch...

This is one of my latest hobbies! I have no idea how I was ever subscribed to so many emails! None whatsoever. I know that occasionally I may subscribe to score a discount at a particular website, but it's impossible for me to believe that the sheer volume of what is showing up in my inbox is by my own invitation.  I suspect that email addresses are harvested from simply browsing sites. Maybe; I

f.y.i. #saturdaynightcraftalong + joining the discussion from Charm About You

I have received a lot of messages recently about the Saturday Night Craft Along and also questions about leaving comments here on my blog. I want to make it super simple for everyone to join in and my absolutely favourite part of both the craft along and this blog is the discussion, friendship and encouragement that results. This only happens with engagement though, and while I like the thought that anyone would read what I write, it's the emails and comments that provoke ideas, give support and keep me going. The same is true of the craft along and ...
