Only one more week until the Fugly Fabric Party dreamed up by Charm About You starts. I've only taken a very quick gander at my stash to figure out what I am going to offer up but I hope to finalize the selections by the end of the week. More importantly I've been perculating exactly how I want...

What in the world is going on? I made 9 pinkish Nine Patch blocks and I don't seem to have them any more. Not a single Nine Patch block in sight. Where in carnation did they go? Well.....they morphed into the Disappearing Nine Patch blocks. I finished cutting them into four pieces, flipped a couple...

Amazingly last night I did not crash right after getting the kiddos snuggled in for the night and got to do a little sewing on the Pretty in Pink baby quilt. I finished up putting the Nine Patch Blocks together pretty quickly. Please excuse the poor inside lighting. It was night time after all. I...

Whoo Hoo! My first party of the year. I'm going to be at the Fugly Party that starts on February 7th. It is a creation of Lucy's over at Charm About You. When I read about the idea on her blog, I thought "Why Not"? Surely I have some bits that I don't love and would happy to have find a new home where they will get the respect and attention they cough, cough deserve. Anyone else interested...

Since I last posted about these projects, I've received a number of bundles from the class families.       I have no idea why Blogger insists on uploading these 2 pictures in portrait mode when I took them in landscape mode. That makes me crazy. You too?   These...

No, not my 50 year old sibling! He already has a name. I need a name for this Brother. I have been her mostly happy, proud owner for 2 1/2 years now and she still does not have a name. And although she is a Brother, she is most definitely a SHE. No HE machines in this house thank you very much!...

A little birdie tapped me on the shoulder and told me about the post my fabrics did yesterday afternoon. Silly fabrics! They certainly have a lot of spunk to reach out to all of you for sympathy and comfort. Yes they were right in that I have been overloaded the past few weekends with guests....

In the slow sorrowful style of a deep, rich baritone voice we hear: "L O N E L Y.....we're so lonely!" "We arrived a little over a week ago but she hasn't touched us since she took us out of the box." "And the poor pink squares there haven't gotten any more attention either. She...

What should I make a neighbor friend who is expecting her baby girl in March? A girly quilt of course. After having 2 very intense and rambunctious boys, said neighbor is overjoyed that this new little one is a girl so something warm and cuddly is in order to welcome the...

As I am sitting here catching up on blog reading, I'm seeing a consistent theme throughout, either reflections of the year just completed or resolutions/to do lists for the upcoming one. I hadn't originally planned on doing this myself but after thinking about it a bit, I figured I would anyway...

I've been hunting for ages and ages for just the right border fabric for this 100 Good Wishes Quilt that I am putting together for Miss M. The rows have been sewn together for weeks and I've been looking ever since for the border but so far...ziltch! Until today. Thankfully I've finally...
