I have begun working on new colorways for my To The Nines pattern. This pattern is for sale on My Patterns page, using a different method of half square triangles. The pattern also has lots of sizes, where the class will only be a throw size. First up is a lovely blue and yellow colorway. …

Books, Books and More Books
It's been another month of eclectic reading, some more culling, and new finds in the quilting/sewing genre. Another load of books went to the library bookstore, and I made my decision on the cookbook series. The Cooking Light series was donated, mainly due to its lack of photography, even though the recipes are lighter and …
Quilting the Heart Quilt
I showed this heart quilt recently on a post to show what was coming up next. Last time it had just been loaded, and I hadn't begun the quilting yet. The quilt is a group of hearts, each one depicting an aspect of the maker's daughter's life - her interests, her family, and her activities. …
In the Garden, the Kitchen, and the Sewing Room
With a few days of warming weather and lots of rain, things are starting to happen in the garden. Oliver now has a buddy, or maybe a mate, who knows? They are coming by together to get their tidbits, Oliver is on the retaining wall on the left, while his buddy (paramour?) is on the …

Sunday Chat
Seems this has been another week of not getting a lot accomplished, but still busy all week. Last weekend and into Monday was the Backyard Bird Count. I did have some fun taking some photos and reporting my counts every day for the four day time frame. My Sweet Babboo kept the feeder full so …
Sunday Conversation

Piddling Around
This past week has been a lot of piddling around, and not finishing much. I've done a few embroidery motifs using the new cards purchased for my 20+ year old Brother Pacesetter machine. I showed this one last week, as it was stitching, here it is completed. I'll add two more to this one for …
Quilting To The Nines
When I left off this project last week, I had put on a pieced border, then removed it. The border was just too much white on the edges and I really didn't like it. After I picked out the stitches and took it off, I loaded on the frame again and got ready to begin …
Making Progress on Projects
I've noticed that my blogging is not as prolific as it once was, and I am posting fewer times in a week. So many other bloggers I read have just stopped posting altogether, so I am not spending as much time reading blogs, and I miss that. I miss catching up on what projects are …
Well Loved Double Wedding Ring Repair
I decided to suspend my quilt repair service for the time being, at least while this pandemic is escalating. The last quilt I accepted was from a local lady, and I got it from her in early December, letting her know it wouldn't be done until January. So, I finished up the other customer projects, …
