Finished and ready for donation, the fabric is called Fairy Frost by Michael Miller. It looks like it has sparkly threads but it’s not scratchy. It was a jelly roll. I have the last two sandwiched and ready to quilt. I may hit my goal by the end of the month.
We had another Grandma Day… Things have gotten a little confusing for the grandkids. When Lilly was here last, she asked Rick if he was her Grandpa now. Eli and Emmett have both asked the same thing. Rick has been awesome about it. He’s told the kids that Grandpa Roger is their grandpa, but since …

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and here is my response.
Pinktober!
This is the largest improv-pieced quilt, I have ever made. I don't think I will ever do it again because I could not see the whole composition at once, until after it was quilted.
Made entirely of pink (peach, coral and some fuchsia) scraps combined with low volume/white fabrics, I have named her Rosy Pussytoes, after the pretty pink flowers.
Pink & Peach 
Happy Halloween!
While the working title was F*** the Blues, which resembled my mood when I started rage sewing the scraps, the finished product ...

read moreDo you ever sit at your computer at the beginning of the week and think, "What happened to last week"? We had guild meeting on Tuesday and I spent a chunk of Tuesday morning rewriting the instructions for the November BOM block. I decided the instructions weren't very clear, so more diagrams were needed. I've not heard from anyone, so I'm hoping that means the instructions were OK. Late night sewing was canceled for various reasons, so no big evening of productivity. Progress was made, but it still feels like an off week.

read moreGood morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone survived the weekend. It was pretty quiet here. All the tasks from last week are completed. Family has been fed and sent home. Rain has started up. So, it's pretty much business as usual from here on. We're getting our vaccines this morning, but aside from that, we'll be sticking close to home for the next several months. There's going to be plenty of time for sewing.
My morning started with baking some muffins for our breakfast. For years, I cooked a traditional morning breakfast...eggs, some kind of breakfast ...

read moreWhat a lovely weekend! The weather was nice, and there was a good mix of fun and chores. The only bad part was the Texans game! It was actually a good game, but when it went into overtime, I lost my optimism. We usually choke in overtime. Oh well.
While I was watching the game, I got these built.
I got a good amount of things done in the sewing room this week. I worked on Eli’s quilt. I’m trying really hard to get three quilts through the longarm each month. This is number three for me for October. It’s my way of trying to catch up. I know one a week isn’t realistic …

Saturday morning I participated in the World's Largest Polio Walk with Rotarians and friends from my club and the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Club. One mile from the Lake Bluff park to Lake Forest High School and one mile back was no problem in the golden autumn sunshine.
Oh my goodness -- I was misting up when I read Elle's comments this morning. It's funny how our parents can teach us things in different ways.
Both her parents died young, yet it sounds like they had some great times in their lives. But by chatting with them, you learn things.
My parents are both still alive, and I have learned so much from them by what they do, but in some cases, I learned what NOT TO DO by what they are doing. I hope that makes sense.
I think one of the most important things that ...
