Sometimes, life just throws out a bunch of curve balls--unrelenting and rapid fire--picture the classic chocolate candy factory I Love Lucy! episode. That's kinda how it has felt for the last few...

About a year ago, I joined the local chapter of the Embroiderer's Guild of America. After years and years away from it, counted cross stitch and charted embroidery grabbed my attention again. Thr...

Every year, at New Years, I feel somewhat compelled to choose a 'word of the year' or make New Years resolutions. If that works for you, then great. The word thing just doesn't do it for me. I...

Aside from wrapping up this month's FLOCK bird block shipment this week, I'm also wrapping-up a year-long project that I've hinted at here and there this year. If you are a long-standing Good ...

This cookie 'thing' has been going on for several weeks now. Three weeks ago , I took aim at a stack of scrappy four-patches. The following week , an adorable cookie border stripe print inspire...

Last week , I started with the statement that 'some projects are meant to be.' This week, I hafta say, that sentiment continues. You may recall that two weeks ago , I was lamenting the stack o...

Some projects are just meant to be. I mentioned this stack of four-patches sitting next to my sewing machine last week . Most of the 3-1/2" four patch blocks are in wait-mode to become pin cus...

Sometimes it's just time to move things out. Or on to the next step. Or to the 'done' pile. Or to give up. . . Give UP?? No-no-no-no-no! This particular project seemed like a good idea at the t...

It has been kinda crazy around here, so I took advantage of a tiny break in the action to run away on the annual sisters trip to Fly Creek Cider Mill in Fly Creek, New York. (Kinda near Cooperst...

Feels a little early to be thinking and creating 'holidays,' doesn't it? Eh, maybe not. I bet you can find holiday decorations for sale without too much difficulty in most retail outlets at thi...

This has been a crazy week with lots going on. Last Friday night, Dave and I were guides for the annual neighborhood ghost walk. Not what you might think. . . . There are two ghost walks each yea...

With my BERNINA back in place after a long over-due servicing, I was back at my curvy project from a couple weeks ago using The Learning Curve trimming tool . Last time I played with "Method 6...

My BERNINA went to rehab last Friday. It was long overdue for it's not-so-regular freshen-up. I've been without a sewing machine for my daily hour or two sewing sessions to start my morning for a...

Around here, it's kinda tradition. Syracuse is pretty much the geographic center of the Empire State, so the New York State Fair is just a stone's throw from my home. Since I was a kid, an ann...

I'm a bit distracted today. It has been a while since I've gone on a sewing retreat, just for me. I love them. It's kinda why I got into the whole quilting thing to start with. Quilting is a soci...

Okay, so technically, that was August 13th . . .but here we are somewhere in the middle of August . . . already. Being in the middle feels frustratingly, oddly half way from and to . . . Plus,...
