Sigh.
Oops
Ok, really BIG sigh……..
Gosh, I hate to have to tell you this, but there’s an itty-bitty error on the Chain Saw pattern of Jelly Roll Quilts & More. A typo. An oversight. A blip. An errata minimus. I don’t know how many pairs of proof-reading eyes missed it in the final editing stage of the [...]

I’ve been hard at work (um, play) collaborating with Birgit on a dynamite new design for Christmas that I can hardly wait to share it with you all. The star blocks shown above are just an itty-bitty sneak peak of the quilt center. Today, I was busy stitching the oh-so-fun-to-sew borders (shown below)…

I received two pleasant, unexpected surprises today.
The newest Nancy’s Notions Catalog just arrived in my mailbox. Have you received your copy yet? As I was thumbing through the pages, my heart skipped a beat when I glanced down at page 25. Take a look:

Like a little pink imitation sugar packet….
This past week, I’ve been making a quilt for an upcoming event where I’ll be teaching, and when it came to selecting the fabrics to make it, I decided to take a break from the elegant and sophistocated fabrics I used to make the quilts for BOOK #2, and choose [...]

In any language,
I can finally say it. I’m finished! Finished with the manuscript for BOOK #2!
Gosh, it doesn’t look like much from this perspective, but what you’re looking at is literally months of hard work, lots of effort, endless hours spent at the computer, marathon sewing, late night math sessions with a calculator, excessive use of [...]

So, how’s your week going so far?
I can tell you that I’ve been fighting this nasty cold/sinus infection/virus thing for 8 long days now. Kent is sick, too (much worse than I am.) We finally cried “uncle” and went to the doctor yesterday afternoon for some antibiotics. Hopefully, the medication will knock this thing out, [...]
