A blog I love to read is Quiltville by Bonnie Hunter. http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com Currently she is putting up a quilting mystery sew-along for a Christmas Quilt. January through March is when I set aside space in my sewing area to work on quilts but because this is Christmas I'm toying with following along on the mystery.… Continue reading Blogs I follow – Quiltville
Congratulations Irina on PR6 win…I’m a good sport after all..
I'm just not that good at picking stocks either. And yes. I've wiped the egg off my face. None of my picks went on to the final three and I totally thought Carol Hannah and Althea were really, really sweet. Irina came off really kinda bitchy but 'wow' seriously talented. You know, if she were… Continue reading Congratulations Irina on PR6 win…I’m a good sport after all..
Original Sewing & Quilt Expo 2009…Chicago
The Original Sewing & Quilt Expo was in town. I was pretty excited as it just so happened to take place about 5 miles from my house. Pretty cool. No driving hours to get to a convention center or paying extremely high parking rates or waiting in long lines to get there. The last time… Continue reading Original Sewing & Quilt Expo 2009…Chicago

Finishing Up Old Projects…Entry 2
Halloween gave me a great opportunity to finally make a costume pattern I've had for a very long time. Just like that backpack from 1991 this Costume Pattern dates from around this time. Remember the tie dyed aprons I did a few entries back? The couple I did these for tied the proverbial knot this… Continue reading Finishing Up Old Projects…Entry 2
Finishing up old projects…entry 1
Finishing up old projects. It seems I have about 20 or so projects that are in bins, bags and boxes throughout my house. I know I've tossed a few others over the years but why is it so many just hang around...unfinished? I must have a slight case of hoarding disease. (Speaking of which...have you… Continue reading Finishing up old projects…entry 1
My stash bustin scrap Amy Butler Pattern weekend
I spent this past weekend pulling out fabric scraps and sorting through old projects. When we were in Fairbanks this past spring I picked up the Amy Butler pattern for the Weekender Travel Bag. A sample of the bag was in the shop and I couldn't resist the impulse to purchase the pattern and figure… Continue reading My stash bustin scrap Amy Butler Pattern weekend
“Get on your boots…baby…we are going to town!”
"How many more do I have of these" I said to myself after taking number 5 off of the machine. I turn the little television set on to give me some noise. A smart local newscaster announces that the band U2 is in town to start their North American leg of their 360 tour. I… Continue reading “Get on your boots…baby…we are going to town!”
