I I've been MIA for much too long. I have no excuse for it - I just haven't had anything to say. Or rather, it seemed like too much effort to say that I hadn't really been doing very much. I have been spending a lot of time with various family activities, which has been … Continue reading Get It Done – October 2019 →

It's that time again. Time to review last month's goals and set four new goals for this month. Things went a little wonky in May. I was doing fairly well at the beginning of the month. Then right about halfway through, I got a phone call which changed all of my well-laid plans. (In a … Continue reading Get It Done – June 2019 →

I'm really squeezing in under the wire this month! April turned out to be way busier than I thought it was going to be. This photo was taken before I sewed everything into rows. I don't have an up-to-date photo, yet. For April I wanted to: 1) Finish piecing On Ringo Lake to the flimsy … Continue reading Get It Done – May 2019 →

Normally I would not show a picture of such a messy room. I'd like to perpetuate the myth that I've actually got my act together. Unfortunately, the reality is that I am always running "a day late and a dollar short." No matter how much I try to keep the piles of stuff from taking … Continue reading Creating in the Midst of Chaos →

One of my goals for April is to finish my "On Ringo Lake" quilt to the flimsy stage. This was a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt in (I believe) 2017. I fell behind during the actual mystery. After the final reveal I put the whole thing on temporary hold. I wasn't in love with the sashing … Continue reading I May Have Bitten Off More Than I Can Chew →

My goodness! There's been a lot going on lately. DH and I made it safely back from our trip to sunny Florida. And I managed to just squeak under the wire with my quilting goals in March. For March I wanted to: 1) Piece Sisters Nine Patch units into a flimsy and piece donation quilts … Continue reading Get It Done – April 2019 →

I hated to scribble all over the sign in the photo, but I didn't want to put too much information out to the entire world. But I just had to share this beautiful sign that our friend, Ross, made for us. He noticed that we didn't have a sign for Big Mo, so he just … Continue reading The Value of Good Friends →

March 1st. February is finished. Goodness how time flies when you're having fun. And I did have fun! For February I wanted to: 1) Piece 2 or 3 blocks for a Heritage Quilters project that will be donated to a local charity & Sister Nine Patch (I’ve had the pieces cut for a number of … Continue reading Get It Done – March 2019 →

I'm finally getting around to finishing the edge of Good Fortune. I decided to fold the backing over to the front instead of making a separate binding. This may not last as long as a double-fold binding, but it is quick and easy. So there you have it. While I was sewing yesterday, a new … Continue reading Finishing Good Fortune →
