It seems like ages since I last worked on this quilt. We had a two-week family holiday at Easter-time, and last week I had to catch up on real life. This week I’ve been in a baking frenzy because I found this wonderful blog, Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker, and I just had to [...]

We have lovely neighbours. Here they are, enjoying an evening snack.

Quilting people can do anything. We really can. Measure, measure, measure….cut, cut, cut…change the shape and put it all together again. Today we had new flooring installed in our kitchen, following a plumbing disaster which ruined the old floor. We have a closet in our kitchen which I call the “pantry” and my husband calls [...]

We had the first significant snowfall of the year during the night and throughout the day today. My dog Nigel loves to play in the snow. His sister Vida (the blur racing past him) couldn’t wait to get back in the house. She’s a tropical soul, like me.

Oh, I do love blog-surfing! One of the blogs I like to visit is Little Blue Cottage. She has just finished a beautiful bullseye quilt with raw-edge applique circles, and she has some delightful photos of bright and colourful fabrics in current lines. She’s having a drawing on Wed., Nov. 26 to give away some [...]
I’ve been tagged…..
Posted in Just Stuff, tagged 5 Things Game, blog friends, tagged on November 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My new friend Jessie at the Threads of Life blog has tagged me in the “5 THINGS GAME”. Gosh, you really scared me at first — I misread one of your headings, and I thought it said “55 Things on Today’s To-Do List.” Whew! I had to really think about some of these answers — [...]
