When I showed you the beginning of this block design and construction, I had printed out the foundation pattern using the EQ automatic grouping and numbering.

Playing with Kaleidoscope Designs
I just got a new add-on for my Electric Quilt program called Kaleidoscope Two. It is a great program for those who love complex blocks. I played around with this block, coloring it several ways with bee theme and daisy fabrics within the program. Here is my final version. The power of this software is …
Happy Galentines Day!
Did you know that yesterday, February 13, was Galentines Day? It is a made-up holiday started by the TV show Parks and Recreation in 2010. It has grown in our culture over the years as a day to celebrate friendships between women. I have two very dear friends who have helped me get through some …

Getting in Some Sewing
Seems like this week got away from me in a hurry. Cleaning out my closet took a couple of hours on Monday, then I was able to have a day of fun on Tuesday with Virtual Retreat. Thank goodness for that! Wednesday was full of appointments and meetings, as was yesterday. With the snow storm …
New Years Eve Chat
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday week last week, and that the fun continues this week. Once Christmas arrived, things definitely slowed down here. It has been a welcome respite from all the hustle and bustle of the season. I've had time to slow down, work on a couple of ideas, enjoy the lights …
