The Cotton Quilters’ Guild asked for a BOM! Yes, and in no time, I was on it. Meetings were getting rather short, but I couldn’t figure out what was missing. It’s the block of the month thing! Of course, I agreed, noting that the resulting quilt would not be finished for the quilt show on […]

Two things about me: I love old lace, and I have to keep my hands busy when Richard and I watch movies. It’s easy enough to keep up with the movie, unless it’s challenging to keep track of characters and plot twists. For me, busy hands mean I’m less likely to talk during the movie

Here in Louisiana, we are sweating or chilled or wet or happy. It depends on the day, or maybe the time of day, or perhaps what the wind is blowing in. We just never know what we’ll wake up to or how the climate might change during the course of the day. So, we deal

On my last post (here), I told you that I’ve begun another CASA quilt based on my novel, This World So Fierce. Two things are happening quickly. The first is that the sequel A World Alone is close to finished! Well, the writing part anyway. Never the less, I’m terribly excited about that. But this

I started a new quilt now that Emmy Blue’s Quilt is completed. Since the Baton Rouge MQG is working on a book/quilt challenge for CASA, I chose to include my novel, This World So Fierce. I love the description of the duckweed in the lake that Mike wades through as he’s running from the police,

I hope your week is moving along nicely and that you are taking time for yourself by enjoying some stitching or crafting. Whatever it is that helps you to slow down and enjoy life. Also, don’t forget to exercise and get enough sleep! It can make a huge difference in how we handle the stresses

Last week, I told you about this flimsy, my current project. It is based on Sandra Dallas’ novel, The Quilt Walk. In the story, Emmy Blue’s hand stitches a log cabin quilt as she travels west with her family in a wagon train. She sews the blocks, most reluctantly at first, as she walks alongside

I wrote this post for March 2025. (And maybe it was for some month well into the past.) Apparently, I scheduled it to publish–incorrectly. Of course, I didn’t have the time sense to check whether it worked. Anyhoo (and toodly-do) here it is. I’ll post the April 2025 photos once I clean them up a

A Side Note: Create Whimsy has as wonderful article about me! You can find it here. My title is a little misleading. Again means simply at the sewing machine. I’m finally sewing the way I love it–however I want to! So yay, this quilt on the design wall here is now off the longarm! I’ve decided
