July 23rd
Would someone please tell me where the summer has gone? I saw school supplies for sale at Walmart the other day. It simply can’t be true that school begins in less than one month. I’m so not ready for summer to be over. I’ve still got so much to do!
But as previously promised, I want [...]

“Follow me, or else.”
And believe me, you don’t want to mess with the Tufster.
(Around here, we have to call him ‘Sir Hod.’)
I’ve always secretly admired those blogs who have “followers” with regular readers featured in a little box on the side of their posts. So I asked my amazing Web guy, Mike Dowden, if he could [...]

Patsy Domaratzki (l) and Wendy Davison (r) get ready to cut their fabrics for the PPM mystery quilt!
Patsy and Wendy live in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada. I “met” these two ladies through email when they contacted me to say they have just begun to make one of my [...]

I arrived on Monday and spent all day yesterday and today judging an amazing group of exquisite quilts for the prestigious Vermont Quilt Festival! My fellow judges were (from left to right) Cindy Erikson, Mary Stori, and Barbara Broshous. I’ve had a wonderful time [...]

Dad always taught me …..
…..that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. He’s living proof of that.
At the age of 84, my Dad fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning a brand new bike. This is his spiffy new ride, and he is so proud of it — coaster brakes and all!
It’s not that he’s [...]

Are your vacation plans for this summer all set? No? How you ever considered taking a fun-filled quilting cruise to Alaska? Seriously, its not too late to make plans to join me for a fabulous 7 night cruise!
There are still a few openings left on Quilt Seminars at Sea’s cruise to Alaska. And I’m personally inviting [...]

Today was one of those days where I went non-stop from the moment my feet hit the floor at 6am this morning. It’s now almost 10:30pm, and I’m wiped out and ready for sleep. But I thought I’d post this silly picture of our kitty, Poppy. Josh snapped this photo the other day and we [...]

Just dropping by today to share a few fun things with you. I just love it when students or friends send me photos of the quilts they’ve made using my patterns. It is such a thrill and I always feel so honored! I received the following photo from my friend, Cindy Fox:
Teri Morrow sent me [...]
