    I’ve seen some beautiful fabric choices. I can’t wait to see these come together as we sleuth our way through my winter nights! The sun is gone early these days, so I spend a lot more time designing in the winter (sewing in the summer!!). Enough babbling!! Let’s get started… You can find the curved…

    I know that the larger part of the populations of the world lives in places where they are NOT going into winter, but I live south of the equator and we are headed for a wet cold winter… By the time we are finished with this, it will be ready for our coldest months. You…

    Here we are at the beginning of our assembly for the monthly mystery. I LOVE this design and kinda wish we would have done it as a weekly… BUT, this way we can draw out the gorgeousness over several months. Let’s get started. Don’t forget to show us your creative work on our group FB…

    There is so much I wanted to tell you, so I thought it easier to type it here and give you the link than to try to fit it on a group discussion page on Facebook. Firstly, I will me in Fiji from the 10th to the 20th of July with the teens of our…

    I have designed a medallion quilt top. This one starts at 48″ and can finish as large as about 102″ (or more). I love it so much, made me want to stitch on it right away. Wondering if you’d like me to make it a “quilt-along” and we can stitch it together. I have everything…

    I don’t know about you, but WOW! I didn’t see that coming. I expected jet lag which wasn’t too bad for this trip. I was tired and my feet were grapefruits (if you’ve seen me, I am a really tiny person and this was so out of character). The feet took two days to feel…

    When you’re making a mystery quilt (any quilt really), do you prefer a lighter background or a darker one? I think I have this silly unwritten rule in my head that all backgrounds must be light. I really need to jump out of this silly box and shake it up! For example, I had originally…

    Today was the day I got to sit for a few hours with block design books and peruse through to find those “normal” blocks, the “go-to” blocks of eras past. I found so many I wanted to use, but alas a quilt can only be so big! I found most quilts had lattice as well,…

    I have been very busy with life for a few weeks, we have had extra grandchildren in the house. My sewing room became bedroom to a 16 year old grandson who sleeps like a hibernating bear! I haven’t had the time or energy to go in there and “work” since he got here. Now that…

    Our grandchild count in the house has been more than normal for the past few weeks. While we have the extras and my studio has become a bedroom, I have been working a lot on organizing fabrics and designs… getting ready to dig in and have some fun. My life recently has found me shoulder…
