If you have a serger, you have a head start on doing alterations. It isn't just for sewing knits, you can do all kinds of finishing work and help with mundane tasks. Almost every pair of pants I purchase is too long, so I have to hem them up. I found two pairs in my …
A Cozy Valentine
February is the time our thoughts turn to chocolate, well for some of us. Others like a little romance. But for those that like a little mystery in our lives, cozy mysteries give us a little of both, and sometimes some chocolate too. This would be a great time for Chocolate Covered Oreos! Oreo molds …
January 2015 Garden
It is cold outside and not much is happening in the outside garden, but inside, there are new things happening. The violets apparently like their new bit of soil and feeding, new leaves are appearing. New leaves are shooting up from my sage plant too. I have high hopes for this amaryllis. My mother in …
Table Stand White Quilt
When I get in one of my Victorian moods, it is hard to stop embellishing! The white on white table stand quilt is a good example. I kept going and going, like the you-know bunny! Pearls were added to the lace heart. If you missed part one construction and quilting, click HERE. Details were added …
Table Stand Quilt – White on White
I got a table quilt stand last year, specifically to display my Miniature Mariner's Compass. Problem though, the quilt is too small, or is it the frame is too big? Either way it isn't going to work, so I needed to make something else. I have decided to do a series of quilts for it, …

Low Carb Crustless Anything Quiche
What can you do with the little bits of things left over from the week? Those bits of meat and vegetables, too much to throw away and too little to make a serving? I know a lot of you out there make soup. My brother-in-law likes to put leftover veggies cold in salads. Actually it …
Basket Quilt UFO
This basket quilt was made about seven years ago, and I keep getting it out and putting it away. I need to applique some flowers in the baskets to finish it off. Indecision is the theme here! The thing is, my deadline is February 11. I foolishly put this project on my UFO Challenge list …
Quilting Hearts Around
Quilting the Hearts Around Table Topper took longer than I thought. Click on Hearts Around to see the construction phase. The main issue was I couldn't decide how to do it. After taking several free motion longarm classes last summer, I have yet to actually do an entire quilt with free motion. So, taking a …
Book Review – A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff
Sometimes I'll pick up a book to read expecting one thing and get an entirely different story. Such was the case with A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff. The book jacket describes this story as centering around a woman, Phoebe, who opens a vintage clothing store. She likes to think about the woman that owned …
