Still working on Spiderman. What I thought was going to be “light custom” is taking me much longer than I expected. This is part of the longarm learning curve I am still trying to get around, determining what quilting goes in which pricing level. This one is much more time consuming than I had envisioned [...]

Stash Report and Thanks to the Princess
Posted in quilting on February 22, 2009 | 6 Comments »
The stash report remains unchanged for the 2nd week in a row. All my quilting efforts recently are customer quilting related. Hopefully, I will have Spiderman finished soon, and will post some pics of him when I’m done.
Today, I want to give a shout out to my friend, Princess, and thank her for teaching me [...]
Ankle Fusion Anyone?
Posted in health, quilting on February 19, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Well, after years of suffering with a bad ankle that is getting progressively worse, it looks like my husband may be facing an ankle fusion. I’ve been quite preoccupied with this worry recently, and it’s part of my lack of blog postings. Nothing I read about it looks like fun. But he can’t keep on [...]

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I was going to do a Valentine’s Day post, and just never got around to it. I also didn’t get around to my stash report yesterday, but it’s unchanged from last week, so no biggie there. Thanks to everyone who participated in my thread discussion. I enjoyed reading [...]

Oh boy, oh boy, ohhhhh boy…
Ohhhh, So Fine, so pretty!
My blog has been kind of boring lately. I am still battling sinus headaches, and just feeling completely drained lately. So, I thought I might liven things up by inviting you to participate in a thread discussion with me. All of the above thread is So Fine, [...]

Thanks Mom & Dad

The item Greg & I purchased with our Christmas money finally arrived yesterday. It’s a linen cupboard I ordered from Plow & Hearth. Finally, someplace to display and store our quilts. It came in several different colors, and I was really torn between the red & the black options. We ended up going with the [...]

I used 1/4 yard up making labels this week, and 1/4 yard making guild name tags for myself and my friend. So my official “out” for this week is only 1/2 yard. However, I am plugging away on stash quilts I have going, and soon should have some big numbers to post.
YTD totals:
Incoming Yardage to [...]
