What’s in the article– You might be surprised how many inexpensive school supplies can make quilting easier. From organizing your sewing room to marking projects and keeping supplies within reach, these everyday items have earned a permanent place in many quilters’ workspaces.

Every year when the back-to-school supplies hit the shelves, I find myself wandering the aisles “just to look.” Somehow I always leave with a few things for my sewing room instead of a backpack full of school supplies.

The truth is, some of the best quilting tools aren’t found in the quilting aisle at all. School ...

Good morning, my friends. My day got all turned around by the weather yesterday. Thunder and lightning and rain in the morning put all of my gardening plans on hold. This morning I'm seeing my PCP for my annual physical, and so the garden is going to have to spend another day without me. 

My first stop on yesterday's agenda was to stitch up Tiny Treasure #62. This one has satin stitch, French knots, stem stitch, and fly stitch. This morning’s Tiny Treasure will probably have to wait until I’m home later today. (It’s a ...

Last night at dinner, DH asked me if I was going away in two days. I said yes. He then asked why I wasn't all in a tizzy and panicking about getting stuff done. Well, I have a new philosophy - what gets done gets done, and what doesn't? It didn't need to be done! 

Having said that, I did make good progress yesterday, and I've already been working for several hours this morning. I had a bizarre dream which prevented me from going back to sleep. Nothing to do with sewing or deadlines. What I need ...

Thank you to Diann at Little Penguin Quilts who let me know that I have two typos in the bell block pdf. The center gold sections were incorrect and have been fixed in today’s pdf. Download the corrected version – Bell Block Corrected. I have linked the original post to the corrected pdf as well, so if you haven’t started yet, you’ll get the right one.

Since I have an extra bit of time on a post, here’s an update on the baby wrens. They are growing fast! Just a few days ago, only one was hungry ...

Last image, patchwork pinned and ready for the next section to be embellished.

This piece is developing nicely!

It was damp stretched last night ready for the final section to be embellished before I line it and put it together.

There's a 'freshness' to gingham that I love. 

Below is a short video from when you last saw this which explains what I'm doing here.

A dear friend gave me a copy of Kim Diehl’s Simple Blessings book. The “Bricks and Stones” pattern is the basis for this variation.

Lots of scraps. It is fun to pull from the various bins– solids, grunge, and low volume fabrics.

And, before you know it, Ta-Dah! A quilt.

It is 63″ square. Not large, but a nice lap or nap quilt for the recent graduate.

The last 4 blocks are sewn now for the Snail's Trail quilt.  The dark fabric I originally chose for this block was too small to cover the die so I went back to the stash and found this one which  I like better than my first choice.

This is one block each of the 18 fabric combinations.  It isn't the final layout of them.  I got started too late in the day to spend a lot of time moving them around.

 Not sure how it happened but I have managed to actually sign into my Blog for the first time in two years! It's a miraculous accident as I had been trying for a long time and tonight tried signing in through my iPad and the reader and was shocked when it worked. Can I repeat it? We shall see, meantime I will try to keep this open on my desktop. Just have to keep the kiddos off it tomorrow.

I have been very busy as usual though I miss the ability to update my quilting life on the Blog ...

I have been trying to use my free time a little more productively. It’s super easy for me to spend a lot of time with my iPad, and time will get away from me. The biggest culprits for me are TikTok and YouTube. Even Pinterest to an extent. 

I was supposed to be at the Stitchery Nook in Osage, IA, yesterday for a retreat. The retreat was running from the 16th to the 19th, but there was no way I could give up that many days. I ended up having an issue with a doctor appointment. It was supposed to be Wednesday, but …

Recently, my friend Darlene and I each donated a couple quilts to a health organization for a silent auction.

For me, this was a test run to see if they would sell and be wanted.  Not everyone is into quilts .... I know, I know .....

Anyway, they all sold and for the highest bidding prices!  Woohoo!

These were the quilts that I donated.

Considering that hubby is using our health system more these days, it was a good cause to donate to.  I will have a couple more for next year.

Regarding hubby, he is falling less these days .... which I ...
