(I’m singing this Oklahoma style) It is a gorgeous morning here in the Rocky Mtns…finally cooled off a little bit, and I just couldn’t resist picking up my camera and snapping a few pretty shots of this glorious summer morning! Hope you’re soaking in some summer beauty today as well! XO

Highlighter SOS
I know, I know, it’s not binding time…I haven’t even shown you all the blocks yet! Well, we just finished an exciting final week of filming (yes, you’ll get a peek at my “you must be due any day” 6 month baby bump), and after having sewn several BOM quilts over the course of shooting, […]
Help, I’m Seeing Double!!!
Literally, double, yes. As in woozy, light-headed, I might topple over in utter shock. Went in today to find out the sex of the baby….notice I said “the” baby. Low and behold it’s a boy….yay! Um, make that 2 boys. WHAAAAAAAAAT!?!?! No twins in our family, no fertility stuff goin on….just plain old miraculous twins, […]
A New Quilt Pattern!
Ok, real quick, I really must address the recent technical troubles that have been brought to my attention….I received a comment from a sweet, concerned reader this morning actually, alerting me that they are having trouble viewing my blog- that all posts after April 27th are missing! Eek!!! Wait a minute. I haven’t posted since […]
Stop And Smell The Sanity
It’s getting to be that time of year again. Busy busy busy, go go go….the kids have music recitals, gymnastic performances, birthdays, bike rides, fishing, gardening, theatre plays, road trips, play dates, and of course lots of running through the sprinklers. I wish I could say my plate felt quite as carefree, as I layed […]
Easter! I Miss You Already
Anybody else survive an ultra-packed Easter weekend extravaganza? Whew! What happened to buckling up my white patent leather mary jane’s at 6am, snoozing through the sunrise hymns, staining my nose with lily pollen, and celebrating the resurrection of Christ with a simple, understated plate full of deviled eggs? Ah, but such is the life of […]
The Most Important Quilt I’ve Ever Made
What an amazing reminder I had this week about the undeniable link between quilts, and our life’s journey. Truly, from the secret quilt codes of the Underground Railroad, to the proud, patriotic Victory quilts of the 1940s, they not only mark our nation’s history, but they also mark milestones and turning points in our everyday […]
Things Are Growing…
…like my belly, my pile mountain of clean laundry to fold, and my list of unfinished sewing projects. Why do I always feel like the first trimester is the hardest? I swear it’s the only time I really feel pregnant- ie exhausted, nauseous, emotional, fat. Yes, truly fat. My bump is there but it’s little…I […]
Lots to Love
What a week! Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA…I’ve missed popping on here! Been feverishly preparing for the final shoot for the Block of the Month series….sewing my little head off, but not a single block I can show you. Poo! All I can say is, I laid out all of the finished blocks on […]
