    I bought a portable sewing table . . . . . well it’s sort of portable.  A bit heavy, no ‘handles’ for carrying, or wheels for walking it into retreats, etc.  However, the price was right!  $125 with free shipping!  Can’t go wrong with that.  And it’s the perfect height, width, etc, etc.  Here’s what…

    I love my bird feeder!  Yes, even though I must budget a bit more into my ‘food’ account, it’s so worth it to see all the wild birds that show up at my feeders.  I have a large variety of them; bluejays, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmouse, sparrows, grosbeaks, and goldfinches.  And of course I…

    The Pumpkin Patch Fabric shop is one of the most relaxing shops I have ever been in.  With Susan and Dan, it’s easy to know why! If you happen to be going through OR near Lee, Massachusetts, you must definitely stop in to say HI and to check out all the fabrics, notions, AND BERNINAS…

    Last Tuesday, August 24th, I headed down to one of my favorite places to “hang out”, Log Cabin Fabrics!  This shop is so far off the beaten path, that one wonders how they ever have any customers.  Never fear, us quilters can find ANY shop, even the ones ‘out in the country’!  And to prove…

    I just returned from a wonderful road trip with three of my quilting buddies and I’ll tell you all about it soon, I promise!  However I wanted to pass along a picture that was sent to me from a quilter, Victoria of Pine Mountain Club, California, who made these four gorgeous Painted Ladies.  They are…

    Have you noticed that there are a LOT of new fiction books on the market about quilting and mysteries?  Isn’t it great!  I, for one, love these books, and can see why they are popping up everywhere.  Afterall, quilting has become such a large business, AND a large number of us LOVE to read, (especially…

    Saturday I ventured back “over the mountain pass” and headed to A Notion to Quilt, AGAIN!  I really love that shop!  Anyway besides giving another class, this time The Shop Ladies were on the agenda, BUT I allowed myself extra time to stop in the village of Shelburne Falls.  Remember me saying that I wanted…

    Yesterday, Saturday June 26th, I had another wonderful class at A Notion To Quilt.  I LOVE that shop! The owners, Becki & Lenny are great! It’s a 5 minute drive from the cute little New England village of Shelburne Falls.  Yes, there are falls, BIG, beautiful falls that can be enjoyed year round.  And when…

    My Iron Broke! Oh NO!  How can I finish my current quilt project?   Go buy a new one, that’s how.  Easier said then done.  I wanted an iron “just like the one that broke”. I went (via car and across Hot pavement) to Target, Boscov, JCPenny, Walmart and Lowes. None had “my” iron; the…
