In The Back Yard... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full


We have had a warm, sunny and beautiful autumn

and the dahlias in the back yard are loving it...

 


This is a 30 foot flower bed chock full of

dinner plate dahlias....yes, they are giant!




We have enjoyed their gorgeous, saturated colors

for several months now...





They love the warm days and cool nights...





These are a riot of color !





The Western Oregon RAINS are coming soon...





If I wait until after it rains...

this flower bed will be wet and slimy

and awful to clean out.





The dahlias are beautiful but...

they gotta go !





Poof !

Just like that ...

Be Grateful, and Daylight Saving starts from Romany Quilting

Spring has sprung here in my part of Paradise, and last night was time to turn the clocks forward one hour for Daylight Saving time.  Our evenings will be  little longer, more time to enjoy the balmy early evenings.  It must be said that I love Summer.

I’ve been a bit preoccupied lately with several appointments in the lead up to Robin’s knee replacement, and his operation last Tuesday.  It went well, I’m pleased to say, and he was home within a few days.  He wasn't allowed home until he could get out of bed and ...

In on Tuesday, Home on Friday from Romany Quilting

It was an early morning start on Tuesday with the alarm clock set to 5.00am.  After Covid had disrupted the hospital surgery lists for the last two years, the day had arrived at last.  We departed from home at 6.00am, arrived at the hospital at 7.00am, and Robin was soon settled into his room.  Questions asked, tests taken, including the ever important RAT test, and then he was changed into his hospital gown.

Several weeks earlier the surgeon had told us, “Don't get Covid”, and remarked that several patients on the theatre list had to be ...

From Here to There (and Back Again...) from From the Strawberry Patch...

No, we didn't travel by helicopter, but we have only just returned from a quick visit to New England with my Mom and Dad; this trip had been planned for months. It ended up being a different kind of visit this time, as my mother was in the hospital for the duration of our time there, she suffered a compression fracture a few days before our arrival. Due to a shortage of nurses, and hospital staff

This is a vintage Lone Star quilt I discovered

in a thrift store about 25 years ago...




My grandma's 1903 Singer Treadle machine 

sits by the window...

Our new curtains are back ordered,

which will give the Cowboy time to put in

the new window sills and moulding.




This 1930's quilt is hand pieced and

magnificently hand quilted...

unfortunately, the maker did not sign her work.





Our bed is a queen ...

What's next? from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

While I have plenty of UFOs in The Bins, I've been at a tiny bit at of a loss of what to start next. I made my list for the year, but didn't put them in any type of order for completion. One UFO that's been waiting in the wings, not so patiently, is next. 

I have written a little bit about this project--the Stitch & B!tch Sampler from 2016. Cindy and LeiLani and I used to meet once a month to sit and sew. Covid and life nipped that in the bud. Anyway, the three of ...

Sewing Retreat from Quilting with Kimberly

A quick selfie with Danielle (c) and Anne (r) to kick off our “Janome Girls’ Sewing Retreat!”

Last week, I experienced the restorative power of friendship and laughter with two dear friends who came for a sewing retreat here in my mountain studio. Words are simply inadequate to express how much this gift of time and the safe space to open up, be silly, creative, and truly authentic meant to me. We talked, we laughed, we sewed, and we visited the quilt show, Road2CA for a day in nearby Ontario, CA. 

In the booth at Road2CA, Sam Fung showed off ...
