It was a Squirrel Party this Month!
I really haven’t been planning much in my sewing space other than some hand stitching. For reasons I won’t go into, my motivation and inspiration is still at an all time low. The this happened: I was lucky and had an email from Sandra regarding her new pattern and was visited by a good friendContinue reading “It was a Squirrel Party this Month!”
June One Monthly Goal Check In
In April, (the last time I set an OMG) I had a goal to make one complete quilt, plan another, and if I can get to the studio, quilt one UFO on the long arm before I headed to Alberta for my great granddaughter’s memorial service. It didn’t happen for so many reasons; too busyContinue reading “June One Monthly Goal Check In”

A Fun DrEAMi Project
I was sorting through some bins and drawers looking for my little stash of orphan blocks to find one for the SAHRR. That’s when Samantha started chattering away.

Oh Look, An Inner Squirrel Party
Now every quilter is familiar with the expression of “having a squirrel attack” or some variation of it. Our host, Darlene at Creative Latitude has not only welcomed her squirrel, Sally in to her creative space, but shares Sally’s thoughts and ideas with all of us. Sally, by the way has been known to signContinue reading “Oh Look, An Inner Squirrel Party”
September DrEAMi Projects
This has been such a fun month with so many distracting squirrels chasing me around. I think it might have something to do with having time on my hands while working for Elections Canada at the advance polls and just sitting and waiting for people to come and vote! 😉 It all started when IContinue reading “September DrEAMi Projects”

My Version of Let Your Star Shine
I confess to being the recipient of a squirrel attack today. Actually it hit me yesterday but I was just putting the borders on another finish.

You all know howContinue reading “My Version of Let Your Star Shine”

I have to thank Sandra from MMM Quilts for writing about the sweet Gingham Quilt she wrote about that she saw on Nancy’s blog Grace and Peace Quilting. I just had to makeContinue reading “Friday Finish”
DrEAMI for April
I have been studiously ignoring the squirrels dive bombing me this month and keeping to my To Do Lists until I got an email from a blog reader asking about a quilt top I had made and what pattern it was. I spent a couple of hours looking through my files but couldn’t find aContinue reading “DrEAMI for April”
