I’ve just been piddling along on this project this week.
When I started it, I was using the freezer paper method for the the turned edge applique. I am not very experienced with applique, and find it much more challenging than piecing. I found out early on that needle turn is not the method for me. [...]

The arrival of Fall has put me back in the mood to pull this project back out. I started on it last year, made the crow and sunflower blocks, except for the embroidery, and then stalled out. I managed to get this far on the first pumpkin block after work last night. Applique is challenging [...]

My stash numbers remain unchanged from last week. None in, none out. However, I’ve been working on projects. I’m almost done stitching the binding sleeve on my Storm At Sea. I have started the handstitching of the binding on the memorial quilt. I completed the quilting on my Daddy’s log cabin. I used Quilter’s Dream [...]

The FBI discovered this in August, and Countrywide sent out letters to thousands of mortgage customers this week [...]

I was quite productive today, despite the fact that I couldn’t sleep last night. It’s been awhile since I had such a sleepless night, and if it’s gonna happen, a Friday night is the best time. So I can’t really complain about that. I got up about 8:15 and made coffee. Then I put some [...]

I have been watching hurricane news ever since I got home from work. I hope all my blogging friends and readers in Ike’s path are safe and sound.
