Nickolai’s Noel makes for one steamy quilt novel

One of the fabric companies needs to come out with a line of solids that features 50 shades of gray to go with “Nikolai’s Noel,” by Alicia Hunter Pace. While it is missing the S&M of the popular trilogy, it is not often you find a black lace bustier in a quilting novel. And the steamy […]

Completing UFOs at quilt get-a-way

I attended a quilt get-a-way last weekend sponsored by my guild and was incredibly productive. The get-a-way is different than a retreat because it is in town, and you go home at the end of the night. But you can sew from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Monday if your heart so desires. […]

March quilting goals: How’d I do

It’s time for the monthly accounting of how much I set out to do verses what I actually accomplished. I had a pretty productive month, although as usual it wasn’t quite as productive as I’d hoped it would be. Finish nursery sewing I hoped to make a crib skirt, bobby covers and fabric baskets. None […]
