Haaaallelujah! The angels were certainly singing today when I pulled my new quilt out of the dryer, warm, fresh and ready to snuggle. What shall I name her? I was thinking Tilt-A-Whirl. Kind of a childhood-retro-amusement park-remeniscent sort of thing. You might remember that I started this one back in the hospital, but was cut short […]
My Weekend w/ AMH & A Giveaway!
Yes, it’s true. I spent a whoooooole weekend with Anna Maria Horner! Well, almost a whole weekend- Friday night, all day Saturday, and what felt like a lifetime of awesomeness.

Retreat Recap & Some Big News!
Finally recovered from a weekend of quilting insanity with my guild! What a stinkin blast.

Not bled, really, but I did […]

I visited the Columbine Quilt Guild potluck & stash sale this week, thanks to a sweet invite from a friend. Wowzers! It was old school sewing circle to the max. Dozens of adorable ladies, most at least twice my age, with so much knowledge (and stash!) to share. When I first walked in, bearing gifts […]
