Working on two Quilts at Once
I started working on the No Dragons on my Quilt and I wasn’t really digging it. I found the cutting out of the pictures tedious. At the same time, I was stymied on using the fabrics I picked up which reminded me of the ocean and sky in Cuba. Plus the December deadline for a... Read more »
Prairie Treasures Quilt Show 2014
This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend another Quilt show and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was about an hour from my house in Wheaton at the Du Page County Fair Grounds which was a pretty great facility except for the ladies room! But I was there for the quilts. I... Read more »

A Few of My Favorite things
I was inspired to write this post by reading a similar one on Ups and Downs of a Yoga Mom. Her post reminded me of the song from The Sound of Music and I was all in. However, rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens? Really? It did make me think what are some... Read more »
