This week will be hit and miss for working on projects. I need to get the special one farther along for a quilt along later in the month. At this point, I am just not sure how I can work it around the calendar. So, much will depend on how much will get done this …

Busy, busy, busy!!
The last couple of weeks has seemed to be crammed full of things to do. Some fun, some not so much like getting my teeth cleaned. Three car club events were lots of fun, and I had a blast doing two presentations - one on card design for the Heritage Hills Stampers, and the other, …
Sample Sale
From time to time, I have to decrease the amount of quilted and crafted items in the house or I would be covered up in them. So, time for a sample sale, to move some things into other hands. I have some cards left as well that were not appropriate for Safelight but still fun, …
Finishing The Quilting
After finishing the borders on the Kayla quilt, I loaded it on the longarm for quick quilting. I am using a light sage green Glide thread on top, with a matching green Bottom Line in the bobbin. The pantograph is one of my favorites for quick finishes called Fascination. It has long sweeping curves, and …
Sew Day Kayla Quilt
It is always fun to get together with friends to sew. Our local guild Area A (small group) did a sew day last week to get started on twin size quilts for the Safelight Shelter. The coordinator of the charity sew challenged us to make a quilt with a Villa Rosa Pattern card. The card …
Working on the Paris Quilt
Finally, a couple of days of no meetings or appointments meant I could get back to the Paris quilt. I am doing a simple Disappearing Nine Patch pattern. I cut the strips 5-1/2-inches by width of fabric, and sewed the sets. One tip for pressing, press to the common print in both strip sets each …
Project Linus Quilts and Baking Day
With Stashbusters check in coming on Friday, I needed to get these Project Linus quilts done. I'm going to have quite a bit of "fabric in" this month! It was a beautiful day when I loaded the second one onto the longarm frame. So, I opened all the windows to let in the fresh air …
Garden of Quilts Show Wrap Up
Our quilt show was really fabulous, and a huge success judging by the number of people who came and the complements we were getting as guests left. I have just a few more quilts to show of ones that caught my eye, but not nearly the number I wanted to photograph. I just ran out …
Amazing Garden of Quilts Show
With more than 250 entries in our guild's Garden of Quilts Show, there is no way I can begin to cover the amazing work displayed. Although I took a fair number of photos, I was focused on my assigned task of documenting the show overall, and I didn't get as many photos of individual quilts …
Project Linus Inspiration
I had a day free on Tuesday, and it was a rainy day, perfect for hiding out in my basement and putting thread into fabric. I have had a total lack of inspiration lately, and I think it is because I just don't need anything for myself or for a gift. So I turned my …
