Jelly roll sizzle is basted and ready to quilt from Beryl the Pearl

 This cute little quilt is ready for quilting, I was able to add some leftover pieces on the back.  

The Victory quilt is coming along too, although at some point I won’t have enough fabric since I erroneously thought this quilt along was a fat quarter quilt  so I’ll need to make some creative fabric choices…

Quilts, Hexagons. Cross Stitch and Shopping from Luann's Loose Threads


Hello   I hope you are all doing well.  I've been busy with physical therapy and exercises, and in between I've managed to squeeze in some other fun things.  




This is my latest little quilt from the Simple Whatnots group.  Our group meeting was last week on Tuesday.  This one is called Prairie Pretties.  I just did some simple quilting on this one.  This stitch is made by choosing the zig-zag option on your machine and setting the stitch width and length wide.   


I sewed the binding on by machine and then I stitched it by hand on the ...

Midweek: in the studio + HLC from With Strings Attached


 Two more trails for my 2026 Hike Lake County list.   Spring Bluff is my wild card ("pick any trail not on the list"). I chose it because I hoped to find some bottle gentian, a hard-to-find wildflower that blooms in late summer.  I was not successful. Maybe I was too late.     Raven Glen was partly a farm and and one time a campground (see Timber Lake, upper right).    


Bottle Gentian, 2024

Four placemats for the ongoing Rotary project.  (They'll be given away in February at our spaghetti dinner delivery to shut-ins.  I have about 100 more ...

{I've Been Reading} Corpse Creek from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

We Already Dug The Grave by Emma C. Wells

It starts with tea leaves and psychich gifts and protective bones hung from fence posts. This is one of those books that alternates between "now" and "then." The reader knows something bad happened, but the first person narrator is keeping secrets from the reader and won't reveal what it was until much later in the book. (Actually, there are multiple things and a some are revealed sooner than others.) I couldn't put it down because I wanted to find out what had happened to one of the people from ...

Double Sawtooth Star from My Sewing Room

Sigh, it has been slow going in the sewing room.  LOL  A few minutes here, an hour there - that is how my sewing is going so far this week.


My 30s version of this month's Pizza Box challenge block is done.  This is the 7th block in our series.  I do have some fabrics chosen for a couple of the RWB ones our group is doing for Quilts of Valor, but no cutting has actually happened yet.  I'm hoping today will provide lots of sewing time finally.

Make rules - take CONTROL! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

It's another day! Of course it is. Well, if I take the book I'm reading into account, who knows what day it really is. It's called My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney, and — well —it's bizarre. At first, I thought it would be boring, but then there was a plot twist, then another, and then another. And I'm now so turned around - well, I'll just have to listen to the last 5 hours to see what happens. 

I have a road trip today; however, I have company, so I won't be able ...

Loose Ends from Wedding Dress Blue

Maybe all of us fear leaving this world with loose ends left behind. I don’t think too much about my own loose ends, but I do seem to get the chance to help others rest maybe a little easier by tidying up some for them.

The several quilts I have finished for Susan Nixon are examples. Also the unfinished quilts by my Great Grandmother (SEE HERE and HERE).

Recently a neighbor contacted me about some fabric, batting and projects of her father’s deceased wife. Some of it wasn’t for me, but I knew people who could use ...
