Yarn Along — It’s All About the Pink
Finish It Friday
Posting on a Saturday:)I spent a little time with the sewing machine yesterday. I think I’m starting to not hate sewing on a machine quite as much as I use to:) I was hoping that spending some time here and there would lead to being more confident and …

FNSI — Bags and More Bags!!
This sew-a-long is hosted by Wendy over at Sugarlane Designs. It’s just a time to sit down and sew up some projects, knowing that others are doing the same thing at the same time. I actually started working on Thursday since my hubby was home…
Always a Fight Getting Back Into the Groove
I was finally able to vacate the back office except for the routine, daily stuff. So nice to be able to see my desk again too. Thinking ‘Yay! Gonna have lots of quilting time now’ and then well, life happened. We had a houseful of teenagers over a long…
Stitching Progress and New Starts
I’ve been trying to post this all week, but our internet has been horrible lately. It’s 6:00 in the morning, and it’s finally working well enough to upload the pictures. We don’t have many options for internet where we are, but that’s just part of livi…
Yarn Along — A Finish and a New Start
A quick post this morning as I am getting ready to head out the door. I really was enjoying my daughter being able to drive herself to work and her volunteer jobs, but her car needs some work, so I’m back to being ‘taxi mom’ once again:)Linking with&nb…
The Improv. Wheels Quilt Top Finish and A Walk-Through
Ever since the creation of this quilt several years ago, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of how very much difference a tiny, little addition can make to a quilt. Just adding that simple little bird makes me love the quilt a whole lot more. Mo…
Yarn Along: Done and ???
Linking with Ginny of ‘Small Things’ on her Yarn Along/Read Along blog hop and with Nicole of Frontier Dreams and her ‘Keep Calm and Craft On’ blog hop. I was one busy knitter this week!! It resulted in a finish, and well, it w…
Finish It Friday…
on a Monday. I had chosen a frame last week that I thought I could make work. It was a little too blue, but I thought with a bit of sanding it would look pretty good, and if not I’d paint it white…The linen that I used has some blue-ish tints to it, …
Progress on the 17 UFO’s
Last week saw me with the quilt top finish of Chunky Crossroads. This week Gather Ye Roses and My Quilty 365 got crossed off of the 17 in 2017 list as well. I only committed to quilt top finishes with these particular projects as Me…

Итоги 2016.
Венок Восхитительные ленты:
Full and Fun
I didn’t get to finishing ‘Promise of Spring’ into a framed picture yet. Last week was even busier than I thought it was going to be. My daughter and I had 3 (!!!) 4-H events — a 4-H Sunday/meeting, a Jr. Leaders meeting, and the county-wide 4-H Carniv…
A Quilt Top Finish and the Current Improv. Play on the Wall
It’s AHIQ time again and I’ve been stitching and stitching, trying to get Chunky Crossroads to a quilt top finish. I sewed as much of the applique as possible before attaching the borders to to the main part of the quilt. So much easier to de…
I Need More Needles!!!
Like I need another hole in my head!! My resolve to finish up projects and only start new ones as I get others done has flown out the window, so to speak. I wanted something different to show off this week that was small and quick because I have been w…
Weekend Stitching
I really caught the stitching bug this past weekend!! I just almost got a finish to show for it, but not quite, darn 4-H meeting got in the way:)Actually, the total progress I have to show is a bit more than just from this weekend, but the progress fro…

FNSI
Last night was the first Friday Night Sew-In of the year!! This sew-a-long is hosted by Wendy over at Sugarlane Designs. I will state right here, I’m not much of a sew-er. At least not with a sewing machine. I have lots and lots to learn, first of…
Yarn Along — Just Plugging Along
Linking up with Ginny at Small Things on her Yarn Along. This is where we share what yarn-y goodness we are up to along with discussing what we are reading. I’m afraid my posts here lately have been a bit of a repeat, but I am really trying t…
A Whole Lotta Inspiration
Gwen Marston has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I stumbled upon her {and Freddy Moran’s} ‘Collaborative Quilting’ book back in 2006. Without having ever heard of her, I bought the {rather expensive} book on a whim after simply flipping throug…
Or Maybe…
I’ll post on Tuesday:) This weekend really could not have worked out better for me. We did get the ice that was predicted…Our storage building/rabbit barn — was probably a one car garage at some point.But not so much that we lost power. It was just e…
A FINISH IT Friday
I used to have a section on my old blog that was titled FINISH IT Friday where I showed off my ‘FINISHED’ finishes. That means that not only had I finished the stitching, but I had also sewn it into something useful:) I have piles of stitching projects…

A New Day, A New Score
Got the initial top put together for the Improv. Pinwheels, which, incidentally, seemed to have turned into wheels. Now it’s getting an opportunity to simmer while I decide what the border will look like. Not quite ready to stop with this one as it doe…
Yarn Along — With a Finish!!!
Linking back up with Ginny at Small Things on her Yarn Along. I do have a finish, but otherwise it’s going to look a bit like a repeat from last week. Here’s what I’ve been working on…Reading- I’m still working on Rent Collector by Camron W…
The 2017 Quilty 365
Just a quick post to make an announcement! As we’ve come to the end of the first year of Quilty 365, I’ve been wondering about the few ‘circlers’ who started in later than the rest of us. It made me a little sad to leave them out in the cold and asked …

Stitching Fun
I almost always have multiple projects going at once, and right now is no exception. Not only do I have a couple knitting and a crochet projects going but I have a couple stitching projects going on as well. Here is what I’ve been working on..Kitten Mi…
Moving Things Forward
I am always uncertain about committing to any QAL involving finish-it-up goals. Frankly, it sort of panics me, which sounds very odd as I actually do finish things occasionally! But… Meredithe is a great friend and her ’17 in 2017′ sounds v…
Taking Stock and Making Plans
2016…what can I say. It seems like it was an overall crappy year for so many. We were not spared from our dose of crappy either, but there were some really good things as well.~We lost my father in law in March. That really is what blanketed our enti…

After a couple week’s break, I’m going to join in again with Ginny at Small Things on her Yarn Along. Here’s what I’ve been up to..Reading — You *might* have a hard time telling what the book I’m listening to is:) I couldn’t get the picture to show up …
2016 Finishes
2016 Finishes And a few more….2016 FinishesAlways so interesting to have a year end wrap up post! To my surprise, I finished more quilts in 2016 than ever before in a single year {15 in all!}. That’s absolutely because of the machine quilting I …
The {2nd} January Quilty 365 Linkup
Okay, here we go! Hopefully most all of you will have completed a full years worth of quilty circles! I’ve had some people question why this project was named ‘Quilty 365’ when 2016 was a leap year, but it’s a synonym of sorts. When I say ‘My Quilty 36…
100 ЖЕЛАНИЙ НА НОВЫЙ ГОД))
Не в смысле,что вы ожидаете увидеть под елкой, а осуществления каких мечт вы бы хотели в грядущем году. И даже не в широком смысле ЖЕЛАНИЙ и МЕЧТ, а может, просто маленьких радостей.
(для меня – с соленым огурчиком))
My AHIQ Make-Fabric Geese
So this 28’x 28′ scrappy piece has resurfaced after about a two year nap. I’ve almost tossed it a time or two and then reconsidered. Nah… There’s just something about it that makes me wonder.Make-Fabric CenterpieceWonder if it could be the start to s…

A Reflection of the Past Year {Quilty-wise} and Essential Elements for 2017
2016 has been such a busy, scattered year for me. I’ve felt rather like a leaf floating down the currents of a river at times, totally at the mercy of all the elements. Now that we’re full swing into the holiday mode, I’ve found myself very reflective …
