Continue reading →: January and February Accomplishments and March Plans2026 isn’t kicking off with a stellar list of finishes but I’m very close to finishing possibly the most important project that I will do in 2026. We were away 5 weeks during these 2 months but I did have my sewing machine with me and I got a good…

Continue reading →: February AudiobooksI finished 6 book in February. Two of them were “read” on our road trip home and two books were a little disappointing by favorite authors (Ken Follett and Michael Connelly). My great surprise of the month was How the Penguins Saved Veronica. It was a very cute read and…

Continue reading →: More pillows and quiltsThese are my total focus at the moment. I spent half of yesterday with Mom at her eye doctor appointment and picking out new glasses. We found some nice frames at Costco that looked really good on her. Then I came home to hang out with the plumber while he…

Continue reading →: Pillow backs and more veterans quiltsI got the last 5 pillow backs made today. I’m so glad that I bought a big lot zippers off eBay a few years ago. A lot of them are extra long and I needed that for these pillow backs. It probably paid for the whole lot just in these…

Continue reading →: Pillow progressI made great progress on the pillows yesterday. The only thing I had to do was laundry and an acupuncture appointment. Otherwise, I was focused on the pillows. I got all of the squares cut for 11 pillows, 275 squares. Then I started on the backs. Some are really easy…

Continue reading →: Pillows and quiltsI had a very busy and productive weekend and it set up what I’ll be doing for the next 10 days or so. Last week, Brenda and I were given 14 veterans quilt tops to quilt. I got them all paired with backs and batting. Brenda will quilt this stack…

Continue reading →: Pillow prototypeI’m now back to the memory quilt project. Zane left 9 siblings and his quilt left a lot of fabric. I felt a need to make something with all that fabric for his siblings. I originally thought about bed runners but wasn’t sure how they might be used. Then I…

Continue reading →: MontyAfter 2 days sewing with my quilt club, I have the Monty rows all out together. I had to do a little math but eventually got the sashing cut. I’ll work on it again next month. Between seams I pieced 35 little 4-patches as leaders and enders. We didn’t stay…

Continue reading →: Home, Crochet finishes and Carlsbad CavernsWe arrived home yesterday afternoon after 4 days (over 30 hours) of driving. I’m not an early morning person but my primary driver is. Thanks to him, I had the “pleasure” of watching the sunrise as we left Greenville, TX for Knoxville, TN. For the first 2 days, I worked…
Hello,
