This past week has seen significant progress on the art quilt with the Japanese fabrics. I showed the base last week, and I have since completed the binding. I did it in the same black as the border, so it now is framed in double black with the pieced border between. With the base binding …
Sunday Chat
It has been such an interesting week for projects, with a lot of things in the works. I've been working on a Quilt of Valor on the frame, my Japanese art quilt in my chair doing handwork, and crafting in between. We've had wildlife visits, too. I've been cooking up a storm testing recipes for …
Stashbusters August Check In
Time for the August Check in for Stashbusters. Did you finish a project? Did you succumb to the freebie table at guild? Was a bit of retail therapy required during Shop Hop? Did you give away any yardage or scraps? I got a bit ahead this month as I finished Quadrille and can now count …

Sunday Chat on Friday
Since I agreed to do the Christmas project on two Sundays, I didn't have a chat post last week. I will be doing the project assembly this Sunday, so let's chat today. It was shop hop week, and of course, I did my share. I couldn't resist the black backgrounds on both these fabrics, one …
Sample Sale
Once again I have pulled out all the quilts, table toppers, and projects from the storage shelves, and it is time to let some go. A few of these items have been made just to get rid of the fabric, and some were done as projects for a purpose such as a post for the …
