Spring is officially here! Yippee! This is the best time of the year to live in central Florida or to visit. The weather is warm and humidity is down, the sun is shining, and the flowers are blooming. And there are butterflies! And it’s time for my Babylock Unity to get her annual Spring Cleaning and Spa Treatment. Off she … ….oh there’s more
I finished the Daytime Version of my “Tell Me A Story” Quilt the last week of February. Had to get it done then because I made the label and that was the date! If I’d only known that March was National Quilt Month, I would have made a different label! And here it is! I love how happy and bright … ….oh there’s more
This is a double post, AKA….. A TRIP TO BOK TOWER GARDENS! Terry and I have been trying to squeeze a day trip in now and then. This day trip was a long one. Located in Lake Wales, the drive was 2 hours and 46 minutes! One way. But I love touring gardens, Terry loves driving his convertible, and the … ….oh there’s more
According to Instagram, March is National Quilt Month. And I have three totes cut out and in different stages of stitching. What was I thinking? I should have cutting up bits and pieces to create ten more quilts, So when is National Tote Month? Anyhow, more about the totes in weeks to come! One tote is quilted. So I’m posting … ….oh there’s more
I had planned to post about the books I’ve read on the last Friday of the month, but I wasn’t finished with my second book until Friday. So here I am posting on the LAST day of the month. By the way, what happened to February? Gone already and we are on to March. “In like a Lion and out … ….oh there’s more
Finally Finished! I started this quilt back in the summer of 2017. More than 4 1/2 years and it’s done! Definitely the longest WIP in my sewing history. It’s taken so long because I ran into trouble at every turn. Mostly because I didn’t know what I was doing or tried to do the impossible with fabric. But that has … ….oh there’s more
I have changed out my sewing room SO MANY TIMES! I’m always looking for the better way. In my life, in my volunteering, in my sewing room. And in my decor—my walls probably look like Swiss cheese under the paint from me moving the art around. New holes. Patch the old ones. Paint. I have a 1990 house. All small … ….oh there’s more
Waaaaay baaaack at Thanksgiving while we were in DC, my son-in-law was showing how great his new backpack sling was. I believe he got it at Patagonia. He pulled out all of his necessary stuff, like wallet and sunglasses but there was also an apple, a can of La Croix, and more! He used it running, bicycling, and just for … ….oh there’s more
Thought I’d start out the month of hearts by looking back at one of the blocks I designed last year. While last month I said I wasn’t starting any new quilts any time soon–well, I changed my mind. I was stressing about something trivial and thought I would feel better if I could just cut fabric up in little pieces … ….oh there’s more
I’m expanding my blog a little. A post on Friday! About books! And reading! Once upon a time I was a voracious reader. And I want to get back to reading in 2022. As a child, teenager, and young adult, I read every book I could find. Even when my kids were little—I was rocking a cradle and reading a … ….oh there’s more
