Fall. The perfect season. Cool, crisp mornings. Breezy afternoons. You can smell it in the air. Leaves are starting to change. And I cannot wait to wear my new fall goodies! I love fall afternoons. The weather is perfect to take little mister outside to play or bind a quilt. Just in time to ringContinue reading “I fall for fall”

Fall
Okay, so it’s not autumn but I am working on a fall themed quilt so I yearn for the crisp mornings and changing leaves. K was married in the fall, and it’s her favorite season, so we have a themed autograph quilt. What a great idea in lieu of a signing book! We might tweekContinue reading “Fall”
T-shirt Quilts
We woke up to snow this morning. A light dusting. Boy, was I surprised! I thought my eyes hadn’t adjusted to the very early morning light. It’s a bright, sunny day here in Atlanta. A nice breeze is blowing and it’s very cold here today. We ran a few errands because we had to, but prettyContinue reading “T-shirt Quilts”
Doing the things
Even during the holiday insanity I somehow managed to find time to quilt. I am teaching a new class at the shop this quarter. Quilting 102. Basically the class will teach beginning quilters how to sew triangles and get perfect points, flying geese and a few new quilting techniques. I hope the class is aContinue reading “Doing the things”

I like this cup
Last week was tough. S kept waking up at night and we couldn’t figure out what was going on with him. He’s still up a bit more than I’d like, but I think we are nearing the end of that misery. Boo Boo came over on Saturday to give us some much needed relief. HusbandContinue reading “I like this cup”

I finished the quilt for S today. It looks so good, and I think she’ll be really pleased. The quilt is appropriately named “Million Babies”. Each square is a collage of photos that Dr. T has collected over the years. He delivered all the children in the photos. It’s pretty amazing to see how manyContinue reading “October 29, 2007”
It’s sushi for dinner
I’ve had a busy day. As usual, little mister kept me dancing all day and by the time I was ready to take a nap he was up again. Oh, well. And dinner was an afterthought so I picked up some sushi at our favorite sushi restaurant, Zuma. It’s soooo good! I have had aContinue reading “It’s sushi for dinner”
Getting Started
So I’m trying my hand at a blog. I’m hoping that between S’s naps and other important life tasks, even the not so fun ones like paying bills and laundry, I’ll be able to keep this thing updated. We’ll see. If nothing else it’s a great way for me to get all my quilt projects,Continue reading “Getting Started”
