A warm spell made it possible to get out and do some clean up in the garden for the last two weekends. It is still too soon to plant any annuals as our last frost date is mid-April. I did call the garden center and reserve my usual flat of torenias, and I'll pick them …

Quilted Art Project Update 4
I know, it has been a couple of weeks since I showed any progress this project. I had to set it aside while I worked on the Moda Bake Shop recipe that published this past week (Pin Woven Tote on the sidebar). Between that, the charity quilts, the car club, and spring springing, little time …
Wild Orchid Pin Woven Jelly Roll Tote For Moda Bake Shop
I am thrilled to announce my second recipe for Moda Bake Shop! I used an older technique that I haven't done in quite a while called pin weaving. Although I enjoy quick and easy like anyone else, sometimes I like to stretch with a difficult or time consuming project. This one will take a weekend, …

Lightening Up a Comfort Food Dish – Chicken Mornay
When I was in high school, my mother worked as a manager at a local hotel. She would frequently let me come and have dinner in the restaurant while she was on duty. They had a dish on the menu I used to get all the time, and haven't made in years. Of course, their …

First Drive of the Season
Warmer weather has come, and we eagerly anticipated the first drive of the season with our car club yesterday. We weren't the only ones, seems like a lot of members had cabin fever, and were glad to get the cars out. That is our blue TVR on the left. We met up at a parking …
Springtime Cards
Have you ever taken a class making cards? It is so much fun to get to try new things. Recently I went to my friend Gail's house, who happens to be a Stampin' Up Demonstrator. She does classes in her home a couple of days a month, and you just sign up to go. She …
Fixing More Quilt Problems
Now, several more charity quilts later, I promised to show you how I fix some other common problems with longarm quilting. Once again, the main reason for this post is to educate those that send quilts to a longarmer, but new longarmers may find something useful here. First up, the issue of using sheets as …
Springtime Tablescape
Spring is just around the corner, and I am looking forward to warmer weather. Easter is in March, coming just ten days after St Patrick's Day, another opportunity for a tablescape. But, I have much to finish this month, including a new recipe for Moda Bake Shop, so one tablescape will have to do for …
EQ7 March Challenge
Every month this year the EQ7 blog is having a challenge. I decided to participate this time with this one. The challenge for March is to design a quilt using only two colors, then recolor it with fabrics. So, I began with some applique blocks, as some day I might actually learn how to do …
Quilted Travel Bag – The Scrappy Project Finish
I finally finished the scrappy project, and it became a travel bag. It has a wonderful snap frame closure that I purchased from Ghees. After I finalized the design and ordered the frame, I contacted Linda McGhee and she generously has provided both a coupon for all my readers and a giveaway prize! Read all …
