After being away from any stitching for almost two whole weeks, my withdrawal pains were very real. This hockey weekend did NOT end in a championship, but watching the grandson play always fills my heart with joy. As always whenever I’m in a new city and have a little time, I visit quilt stores. Every… Continue reading Aaaahhh…..stitching………..
In prepping for my guild lecture last week, I unearthed a few UFO’s that I had completely forgotten about. I grabbed a few of them today to see if I want to get them finished up. Yep–I think I want to finish them ALL. None of them are awful and they are all close to… Continue reading Yep–UFO time
Been busy but nothing to show for it! I had to sort through so many shelves and piles of things to put together a lecture and class for this week that I didn’t have time to actually sew anything. I worked a bit on the last two baby quilts that I made but didn’t finish… Continue reading A short break…
Little of this, little of that…I have a lecture and workshop next week and I haven’t really gotten myself organized. That was my goal for today, but I didn’t make tons of progress. As usual, I got distracted as I pulled things off the shelves. I still had my original drawing of that last map… Continue reading Putzing around
At least it’s new to me….I almost always use 80/20 batting in my project. I like the weight and ‘snuggly’ factor for quilts and polyester batts have not pleased me for a bunch of years. I’m hoping this will give me a good ‘feel’ without the extra weight. I’m used to buying my batting by… Continue reading New product test
There doesn’t seem to be a happy medium lately. Either I have absolutely nothing to focus on or I have a ton! Deadlines do motivate me, but I don’t have too many currently. I have quite a few things going on this week after a week of mostly nothing! And then I went to the… Continue reading Busy or lazy…
Daylight Saving Time really has absolutely nothing to do with this post. It just happens to be the day we ‘spring ahead’ with our clocks. The main reason that I got anything accomplished is that we had a weekend without hockey. AJ’s team did not get to the state championships and we opted out of… Continue reading DST update
You know how it is when you impulsively buy some of a fabric line ’cause you just have to have it and you know just what you want to do with it, then visit another shop and find a couple more pieces from that line so you are excited to have those and then…………..it sits… Continue reading Ongoing stash busting
I was looking for a toy to play with and my friend Lynn gave me a great one! This template is HUGE! And I love working with large elements so much more than small components. Lynn advised me to watch some of Latifah Saafir’s videos before I started in on it and that was very,… Continue reading It’s all fun today!
The nooks and crannies of my brain hold a lot of strange thought processes. I’ve been struggling to decide on a border for a quilt that was built from scraps and the idea is to keep using up the stash. So around the first brain curve is my peculiar reluctance to break up a set,… Continue reading My weirdness…
