I got the idea to do colors of the month using google images 

I took paper shapes, and scraps down to baste while watching TV., Then sewed the basted shapes together one night, and now must decide what fabric I want to applique it onto. The talented Jennifer Fulton reminded me if I applique it by machine to my quilt sandwich, I could quilt as you ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been raining, and our little dusting of snow has melted away. We're expecting quite a bit of snow this weekend, with the possibility of freezing rain on Tuesday. And if you've been paying attention, then you know that our carpet installation is scheduled for that day. I have a sneaking suspicion that it isn't going to get done as scheduled. Oh well...as usual, the best laid plans...No worries. We're continuing on with our preparation anyway. This morning I'm writing from my temporary office at our dining room ...

Good morning, my friends. Our snow isn't lasting long. It's a slushy, patchy, wet mess outside, having rained overnight. Unfortunately, we're heading into a very cold snowy few days this weekend, with a possibility of freezing rain on Tuesday. Since that's the day our carpet installation is supposed to happen, it looks as if we're going to be delayed. For not too long, I hope, but we'll just have to wait and see. We're continuing with our efforts at getting ready for it. I love a good period of chaos and pandemonium, don ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another day of distraction yesterday. The first prompt, "Bird House," was announced for Season 15 of Project Quilting. I made the mistake of checking for it while I was in the middle of my Bow-flex workout. From there on, every time I took a 30-second interval rest between exercises, I was running into the sewing room, or looking at my bookshelf, or looking through notebooks, or looking online for inspiration. Probably, I spent hours on that yesterday. Nothing really lit my fire nor inspired me to make something until I came upon this little ...

Good morning, my friends. It was an easy-going day yesterday. Sometimes the hours seem to fly by, and the day gets away from me. On other days, time seems to move more slowly, and it seems as if I can accomplish more than expected. Yesterday was such a day. Possibly it was because I was working on applique blocks with lots of little pieces. After working on them for what seemed like the whole day, there were still hours left. I was trying to reach a good stopping point, and it seemed as if the cutting and fusing was endless ...
