October in the Sugar Block Club
10 blocks down…just 2 to go! I just LOVE the juicy, fun, eclectic mix that is this year’s Sugar Block Club! And this year I totally tried to put the kibosh on my tendency to want to go “matchy” and just went for a nice big variety of styles. Loving it! So playful! This month’s […]
My Lemonade Quilt Story
I’ve been waiting seven months to share this story with you, and today I finally can! You see, today is “my” day in in the Splendid Sampler quilt along (hosted by two of my favorite quilting mavens- Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson- aka Quilt Jane) and there’s quite a tale behind my block. It’s the tale […]
I Wrote A Book…Again!
I know what you’re thinking…Is this lady nuts or what?! It’s a fact. I am totally nuts. Two books, back to back, on top of homeschooling 4 kiddos and goodness knows what else…What can I say?

Admittedly, I’m up to my eyeballs at the moment in homeschooling, sewing projects, writing projects, church stuff, kids’ activities, and family events, not […]
