A New YouTube Video
I have been working on videos for my YouTube channel, and it’s been a rather slow process. I’m a perfectionist who procrastinates. Then I reshoot and reshoot and make the same silly mistakes or forget something. I know there’s a better, easier way, but heck if I can figure it out. I guess it takes
If Only I Could Churn Out Quilts This Way
Before the quilt discussion, let’s just get this out of the way. Our children who live next door had a few goats. Those goats had kids. The kids grew up and they had kids. And… well, you can probably figure out the rest of that line of thinking. All of the goats who are now
Happy New Year and Swamp Art
Here’s hoping you have a wonderful 2026! Meanwhile, I received a reminder email about the Bluebonnet Swamp Art Spectacular held in Baton Rouge annually. I’ve been entering an art piece since I discovered it five years ago. It is free to enter, and artists are allowed to sell their works. I’ve sold my pieces for
When you make a mess…
When you make a mess, you clean it up. Despite how painful it may be to do so. Despite having to say, “I’m wrong. Let me fix it.” Despite the naysayers who do not believe you can get things straight again. Let me tell you the story. Our Cotton Quilters’ Guild (CQG) meeting planned for

From Wright Houses Here at Home
Today, Wright’s work is still considered to be some of the best truly American architecture in the country. [My Modern Met] My sister Laura and her husband, Gary, just finished building a house on the land where we grew up in Plaucheville. It’s the cutest house built in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous
This World Quilt Is Quickly Progressing
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
A Finished Flimsy Ready for Next Steps–the Longarm
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
