Come on in folks. I know, I know....UG....LEEEEEEE! But it is what it is. We are now in the center of the room looking at the South Wall.

Building a ‘Dream’ Sewing Space – part 1
Dream sewing spaces. Do you have your dream sewing space? Or are you like me that just puts up the machine wherever you can find some table space and some room to move the chair around? I think I would actually have to rent a studio someplace to actually get a perfect dream sewing space...and… Continue reading Building a ‘Dream’ Sewing Space – part 1
Quiltville’s Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt Update
I am complete with 2/5ths of the hand quilting on this project. It turned out that I was actually making 'scallops' instead of 'babtist fans' with my quilting design. I guess a little experience would have taught me the difference on how to go about making the baptist fan design. Oh well.

Haunted by the demons in his head. The McQueen is dead.
Lee Alexander McQueen - March 17th 1969- February 11, 2010 Just 40 years old, obviously haunted by demons.

Dark imagery contrasted… Continue reading Haunted by the demons in his head. The McQueen is dead.
Alma Mater Pride! ‘Nawlins has a gem and I hope they know it.
I read an article yesterday written by journalist Tom James for the Tribune-Star out of Indiana. He writes about how Drew Brees, the now 'world' famous quarterback for the New Orleans Saints managed to get in a plug for his Alma Mater, the Purdue Boilermakers during a press conference at the Super Bowl.

10 Lessons learned from a few rows of quilting
The first 10 lessons I've learned from a few rows of quilting: 1. I've learned that I have no idea how to do the 'rocking quilting stitch'.
