I've been enjoying some time in my sewing room over the past week, but after working on 3 blue-green quilts, I found myself left with a colossal, jumbled mess and I needed to set things to rights before I could move forward.After making 3 pretty good-sized quilts, you would think there would be a noticeable space in my bins, but I have yet to find it.

I made several scrappy potholders for the May Table Scraps Challenge. The colours were hunter green and sage and the theme was squares.
Finding the perfect pattern
On Mondays, I usually link up my latest post to Beth's Monday Making linking party. Last week, I fell in love with her Chevron Potholders. I watched her video and then decided that I would make a couple of them in green.

"Now you're cooking!" was a phrase my mother often used. She'd sometimes add, "with gas." Since both the houses we lived in when I grew up had mid-century "All Electric!" kitchens, electric stoves were all I knew. The first gas range I cooked on was in my apartment in Texas -- a post-war 24" Roper. I had to use a kitchen match to light the burners and the oven.

I am a paper piece pattern designer from Wisconsin, and I LOVE to create holiday patterns. Last Christmas I designed this HOLIDAY BUDDIES table topper .

I love this goofy weasel. He would work great with my other CUTE CRITTERS.
