Labor, sharp objects and my husband

Occasionally I go to a knitting night at my local yarn shop called the Knaughty Knitters. It’s a fun bunch. There’s usually wine and everyone is always willing to make sure I haven’t screwed something up too badly. The last time I was there, hugely pregnant finishing a baby sweater, I asked if they thought […]

Feeling the Christmas crunch

I started my career as a journalist, which means I like a good deadline. It also means I’m a procrastinator, a bad habit that bites me in the rear every holiday season.

Mini BOM July 2016

July Mini BOM 2016

It feels so strange to be nearly done with a Block of the Month quilt just two months in. But after you finish with the July block, you will have three-quarters of the block made for Cabin in the Clearing. Then we just make four more blocks, slap on some borders and we’re done next […]

Nap time quilting

http://instagram.com/p/qCYGpOP4aY/?modal=true Nap time quilting.  It’s a popular pastime among quilting moms, there are even entire blogs dedicated to it. And now I’m one of the nap time quilters cramming as much into nap times as possible. It’s amazing what you can get done when you know there’s only and hour, maybe two to finish it in. Last […]

Barn quilts abound in Shawano County

Quilt blocks on barns are becoming quite the trend, but they’re really popular in in Shawano County, Wis. You can find one on just about every rural road. I took photos of several when my family vacationed there over the summer. Enjoy! There also was an awesome field of sunflowers. It was really neat to […]
