As fate would have it, I realized early last week my camera was not in my 'usual' spot. What could I have done with my camera?! I love my point and shoot camera and I take it with me everywhere. It is so easy when the moment strikes and I need to take a photo.… Continue reading A Week In The Scraps!
The Value of Kindness
I'm re-blogging this post. Michael lost his equipment and was loaned another camera to continue his work. His work is amazing! I loved reading about his reaction to this gift of kindness...
Spring. Another Word for Trailer Time!
Hi Everyone! I've had this weekend on the calendar penciled in for months. The entry "Bring Trailer Home" has finally arrived! I couldn't wait to open her up and get her spiffed up and ready for our first 'real' season of camping with her. She is currently in our driveway undergoing her Spring prep... Jim… Continue reading Spring. Another Word for Trailer Time!
A 2″ Square Odyssey
Chop, Chop, Chop! I need more 2" squares. I ran out of 2" squares to sew together and I need to make a few more 16 patches. In order to have enough variety I have to cut lots of scrap. So out came this basket of strings (I have some larger scrap pieces in here… Continue reading A 2″ Square Odyssey
A Churn Dash Topper Finish!
Hi Everyone! The top is finished! I came home this evening and blazed through the third border. I didn't stop until it was complete and I could get a picture of it. Not even stopping to press. Just zip zip zip sewing and whisked off into the dimming twilight for a full study photo! I… Continue reading A Churn Dash Topper Finish!
Borders Almost Finished!

I want to thank Ginia of Early Morning Quilter for sharing her truly awesome technique for ripping out seams with me! Thanks Ginia, this saved me on another smaller section of the quilt this morning! (I digress). Click… Continue reading Borders Almost Finished!
A Project Just Isn’t A Project Without A Mistake
Isn't that the truth? First of all Happy Easter to all. Today is Good Friday, we have the day off work. It is a day of fasting, services and reflection but this morning I had some time to sit with my current quilt project, the Churn Dash quilt, and work on the borders. I was doing great… Continue reading A Project Just Isn’t A Project Without A Mistake
More Ebay Fun
Ebay is hit or miss, I think you all know. It really is a big garage sale but it is great if you are searching for parts for old sewing machines, like I am at the moment. A package came today bearing more missing pieces, the puzzle is almost complete. Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans!!! HA!… Continue reading More Ebay Fun
Motor Test, Again
After I put the motor back on the machine I let it run a bit. Smoke emanated from the motor and the sound was not promising. At All. I found a lot of information generically about motors on-line and what I've concluded from my research is an educated guess that oil or grease have permeated… Continue reading Motor Test, Again
Score at the Library!
Hey All! Who has time to read, right? I can get through a book every now and then. Lately I've been collecting books by authors I know I'll read eventually, especially Dean Koontz and Vince Flynn. I stopped off at the Library to return a couple of movies and on a whim I walked down the… Continue reading Score at the Library!
