This is 95% complete. We just need to add the picnic table portion under the slide area. The tower has 3 levels and the kidlets love it. Sunshine especially loves the "bumpy slide". We are going to put their sandbox just to the left of it to make it "Play Central". It was 2 days of solid...

Isn't she absolutely gorgeous?  Doesn't she just make you drool? Would you be simply dying to turn her on and sew with her for hours on end? I know I do. My new baby girl came home with me on Saturday afternoon. After Sunshine went down for her nap, a friend and I took a little road trip...

I'm not in love with the look of my blog. I haven't really been since the beginning but I was in such a hurry to actually get it up and running, that I winged it. Now I feel the need to finally make some changes. I want it to be colorful, but also clean and professional looking. I want it to be reader friendly, easy for all of you to find what you are looking for. I've been scanning websites for...

What did one certainly little boy need to finish his new fire truck bedroom in style? A fire truck quilt of course. Introducing: Sound the Alarm It came as no surprise that Jammer loves fire trucks. A lot! We probably have more toy fire trucks than the majority of households. We fully expect...

This baby may be coming home with me soon! I wasn't shopping for a new machine. Honest! I really love my machine. Once I figured out its little quirks it has been great. It has loads of features, many that I haven't had time to play with yet. But this new possibility has even more. A...

Well the top is done at least. I handed it off my my long arm quilter this afternoon for her to work her magic. Sorry for the inside photo. It has been raining buckets here for the past 2 days. At the end of the day, I can say that I am happy with how it turned out. This isn't the original...

The quilting blogisphere is chock full of chats and comments about thread, the different brands, the different weights, the different finishes. I'm sew confused. Are you too? Aurifil? Floriani? Guterman? Isacord? Mettler? Signature? Presencia? Superior? YLI? Sulky? Wonderfil? These are just some of the names I've seen floating around the web. I've used Coates and Clark...

Or should I say "I'm on a charm pack"? But that doesn't sound right, does it. Hubby is out of town at a fire truck manufacturer checking on the construction of the new ladder truck so I've been ultra busy in recent days and didn't get a chance to blog about my other recent win. I got an email...

My mailbox was stuffed full yesterday. Even more blocks arrived for the Tribute to Danny quilt. They are so gorgeous, I just have to share with you. Ella in Georgia sent this solid beauty. Marian in Idaho is the contributor of this cool, wild one. Miki in Washington created this version....

This purple and green quilt top was dropped of to my long arm quilter on Tuesday morning and I got her to take a photo of it first so that I could share it with all of you. It isn't the best picture and I will get nicer ones when I get it back but at least I can give you a peek at how it turned out. Overall...

I have a bunch more love to share with all of your...courtesy of some very generous quilters who offered to help with this project. First up is this dazzler by Meg who resides in Virginia. The black print.....totally wild!  Next Ann in neighboring Pennsylvania sent me...

Lookie what I won! It is a charm pack of Costume Clubhouse by Riley Blake. I came across the giveway at Quilt Taffy last night while catching up on blog reading. Resisting anything Halloween related is useless for me. I just had to enter. This was my comment: "Oh I should have told you to hold...
