In Between The Quilting!


As I continually looked at the weather app on my phone, trying to determine if the details were correct, or would they change, and in which direction - I set my sights on Saturday where temps would be firmly in the 60s.

Believing that the mud had enough time to dry a bit before I stepped out onto the first dirt road hike of 2026, I set my sights on a walk down by the river.

Keep On Sewing On!


Welcome to the Weekend, everyone!

We are starting today with more pillow talk - because, why not?

I'm pretty pleased with how these are turning out.  

Orphan blocks plus borders, plus a bit of machine quilting, accented with binding and voila!

It helps, of course, that the pillow forms were already made and I just needed  to pop them in there to have the job done.

Quilters All Around!


The Lincoln Quilt Guild ladies are settled in and quilting up a storm!

And I have to say they have been more than understanding regarding the water leak and the subsequent dishwasher re-installation issue.

It's always my want to provide the best retreat scenario that any group could want, and to have to turn water off while installation was going on, and then to have to run for more parts, putting a delay on water coming back on.  They were troopers!

What About That Hexie Quilt?


First things first!  My website is back up and running.  YAY.  That is all.

Questions have come regarding that forever hexie quilt I've been working on for more than 6 years.

Oh, believe me - it's still in the background, but it hasn't made much of an appearance because the progress is slow, repetitive, and I thought - of little interest until I reach another big moment on it.
