Making snowballs in a heat wave
Last week the temperature was in the 90s all week where I live in the Midwest. It was the kind of week where you’d take two showers a day and still need another if you walked outside to grab the mail. So I stayed inside, crossed my fingers that the A/C would do its job […]
Friday progress report: Log cabins, Barn quilts and family time

Friday Progress Report: Fabriganza fun
This was the week of not getting much accomplished. I normally get plenty done over the weekend, but I had a bridal shower and bachelorette party in Chicago. I had a great time, but ended up with food poisoning from eating duck testicles. Long story, even longer time spent in the bathroom. Once I finally […]
Virtual shop hop: Sew Sassy in Urbana, Ill.
Whenever I’m running low on Illini fabric, I make a trip to Sew Sassy in Urbana Ill., when I visit by in-laws in neighboring Champaign, Ill. I need a few yards so I can make my husband an Illini Christmas stocking. We’ll be spending our fifth Christmas together and it is my fourth Christmas as […]
A system for keeping scraps
Some of you will consider this sacrilege: I threw out all the fabric in the picture above. I know there are some quilters out there who keep every piece of scrap fabric no matter how minuscule. I am not here to judge if you have bins filled with every piece of fabric left over from […]
