First of all I want to share the red and green blocks made for the RSC quilt Happy Daze for the link up today at SoScrappy – my background fabric arrived and it matches what I already had exactly so I will proceed to cut 9 blocks for the circles and get them appliqued in […]
read moreGood morning, my friends! How is everyone doing this fine Saturday? Well, I'm just going out there on a limb to say I'm in fine fettle this morning. I'm writing fast because Erik, Mae and I are going to opening day of the Beaverton Farmer's Market, and...miracle of miracles...the sun is going to shine!!! Right here...in the Pacific Northwest! Sunshine! In February! What a gift!
Okay, now settle down. We have serious blogging business to take care of first, so let's get started.
When I left you yesterday, I was on my ...

read moreI am now back to working on the New York Beauty – I will try to do a row of the Beauty blocks then make the two RSC blocks for February and then go back to the Beauty to continue on that. That way I can work on all three for the month and continue […]
read moreWell the first Georgetown block is finished and in the project box along with the pattern and the background fabric. There is more gray on order as I had bought the gray I am using before I knew what I would be using it for – actually one of the gray colors was used in […]
read moreSunday was a busy day and I nearly got the Georgetown green block finished. It was about the only thing I worked on other then being outside for awhile squishing through the mud to the garden to do a little work outside. But first Georgetown-green block. First up was to make this ring I showed […]
read moreIn the morning I got sewing done, then grocery shopping, then spreading frost sheets over berry plants and frost bags over bushes. I had hoped to get this first block of the center of the Dresden quilt further than I did, but that didn’t happen – now the hardest part betting this string around the […]
read moreGood morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone has recovered from Christmas festivities. We had a lovely holiday here, and I hope you did too. Today begins one of my favorite linky parties of the year. My thanks go to Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs for hosting this party for the past nine years. Thanks, Cheryl!
It's been a good year, all-in-all. We had a good mix of staying-at-home and traveling. Our biggest trip of the year saw us ATVing in Colorado and Utah with lots of sight-seeing along the way. There was also plenty of time for sewing and ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We survived our pre-Thanksgiving grocery shopping trip yesterday. The store was busy, but not too crazy. I'll still have to go back next week for some fresh mushrooms. It was too early to get those just yet.
When we arrived home, I was chagrined to realize I'd forgotten to get any tomatoes. We had an extra avocado rolling around in the refrigerator. I'd planned to add it to some BLT's for last night's dinner. (That would make them BLAT's.) So shoot. My dinner plans were shot. Oh, but then I ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Enjoy October while it lasts. After tomorrow, you won't see it again for a whole year. And are you ready for Halloween? As I've said before, Halloween is kind of a non-event around here. In 21 years in our house, we've never had a single trick-or-treater. We quit buying "just in case" candy quite a long time ago, and we gave up on carving pumpkins before that. It was fun when the kids were little. I used to make their costumes. If they remember nothing else about me when I'm gone, I ...

read moreWow in this 12th of 54 blocks I think this one has had the most pieces so far –70 pieces in this 10.5 inch block. I worked on this block off and on all day – not a one hour block this time. This one is called Bilby On the wall with the others – […]
read moreYesterday was another nice day a bit of handwork done, finished an audio book by Karin Slaughter called “The Good Daughter” which was not in either series that she writes but a stand alone that I had never read before. I guess I had overlooked her stand alone books and just read the two series. […]
read moreGood morning, my friends. Happily, my vaccine malaise has passed, and my usual energy level has returned. I still felt a little dragged out for most of the morning yesterday, but I felt good enough to get back to sewing yesterday afternoon. I managed to get Jericho Walls halfway sewn together when I ran out of fabric.

Block number 9 of NYB has begun, with that is getting the fabric picked out. When I started this quilt I went though all my boxes and picked out most of the batiks and treated, pressed and folded storing them into plastic project boxes the only place I could think to put them for now. […]
