I am home from the most fun ladies’ weekend ever. That photo is my sisters and me just before we had the best lunch at a place called Anthony’s in Gig Harbor. My sisters, nieces, and cousins met up at my niece Lizz’s home in Gig Harbor, WA. She is a single mom with two […]
My outer border fabric for the Halloween Figs quilt has arrived, but it will be a few days before I can focus on cutting and attaching it. I am pleased with the look and think it will be a great finishing touch to the quilt. Honestly, I have been distracted by getting ready for my […]
This summery recipe for Fruit Pizza has been in our family for over 50 years. My mother-in-law used to make it regularly. She was not a cook by any stretch of the imagination, but she loved this recipe because it was so easy and she could often bamboozle Grandpa Larry into making it for her. […]
I had a list going of various UFOs I wanted to revisit and finish up. Halloween Figs had all the blocks finished and sewn together, but then I put the project away because all those borders seemed like a lot. Well, I bit the bullet and dived in and started putting on all those borders. […]
I must confess, yesterday was mostly spent doing errands and washing the bedding on my bed, but I did get a couple of sewing-related things done. The block above is Block 6 in the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery 2015 Block of the Month. I got stalled on this project because I did not care […]
Well, I don’t have ten things to show you today, but I did finish my Bliss Quilt top! That pieced border took longer than I thought, plus I had to piece a backing for the top. I have decided to use up the fabric I have sitting around, which is a lot, and found a […]
I have been so organized the past couple of days. I think my lackadaisical summer schedule is done for. Do you remember back in January of 2024 I posted on the Pomordoro technique? Go back and take a look at that post where I explain how it works. It is a time management method where […]
It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you focus and set aside a set amount of time to work on a project. I told Dennis to turn up the air conditioner upstairs because I wanted to work in my sewing room for an hour and a half yesterday afternoon. I set my little timer and […]
You may recall me posting about getting up my courage to send another quilt off to my quilter in Florida. She is such a lovely person and I have used her for years. She did all she could to help me recover my loss when USPS lost the previous quilt I sent to her. I […]
We are doing all right. Thank you to all for the prayers and good wishes. We have not had to evacuate, and the fire is 33% contained. The air quality was a bit smoky earlier today, but is fairly clear now. The total acreage burned is over 10,000 acres. A 65-year-old man named Herbert Wayne […]
