Lost in Space

I have been having a week that meant I have been out of touch this week. Apparently WordPress lost all of the links I had posted on my last posts so I will try to get that fixed ASAP. Appointments and meetings filled my time along with family news of Covid-19 testing and quarantining whileContinueContinue reading “Lost in Space”

Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?

Well that’s what I am after reading Sue and Roseanne’s fun blog post today at Home sewn By Us. They received TWO nominations for the Outstanding Blogger Award. TWO blogger friends developed five questions and added them to their nomination list. In my opinion it is so perfectly deserved. Then I got to the bottomContinueContinue reading “Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?”

The Eagle has Landed!

I’m finally finished my quilt for a very dear friend. I learned a lot making this quilt; to listen to the longarm and how it feels and sounds when everything is perfect. I learned that unquilting takes days to undo what can be done in an hour. 😉 I also learned that having the perfectContinueContinue reading “The Eagle has Landed!”

January OMG

Every year Patty at Elm Street Quilts hosts a monthly linky party.

I always enjoy Carla’s Hops 😉 It is fitting that the last Blog Hop of 2020, the year of craziness would be a somewhat different hop after theContinueContinue reading “My Stitching Resolution”

What a Year It Has Been

Here it is, Christmas Eve Day 2020. This is the second last Thursday in the year of the Covid-19 Pandemic. We all had a year of challenges, some trauma, bouts of loneliness, having to “Make Do” with what we had on hand or were able to find on line or in the shops which experiencedContinueContinue reading “What a Year It Has Been”

Finally A Finish 😄

This finish is a real joy to have done. It not only completes a commission, but gets a flimsy off my To Be Quilted/UFO List. I had gone over several patterns and photos of quilts with my customer and his choice was this quilt. This top was a test pattern I did for The QuiltContinueContinue reading “Finally A Finish 😄”

I Love Thursday #24

It’s been a week of fun and adventures here. I had to go to town to pick up a prescription for DH on (gasp) but had ordered by phone and pulled in to get it delivered to the car. I had to wait a while since the pharmacy was backed up. I like having aContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday #24”
