Has it been over a week since my last post? I feel like I’m blogging all the time, and yet this poor, sweet blog has been neglected. And yet, I am only one person, so I’m pretty okay with this. 🙂 To me, blogging is part of the art I create. Since I started my…

You guys… I am seriously melting over here at all of your sweet comments about my big news. In particular, I really enjoyed getting to know a few of you more and your quilting and bee backgrounds. I look forward to hearing more of your stories and getting to know each other better!   Those of…

One year ago in March, everything changed. The week happened something like this: Sunday: My husband had recently resigned from his job to pursue writing full-time. Wednesday: I was called into a meeting at work. My co-workers and I joked, “This is probably the day we’ll lose our jobs.” We gathered into a crowded, makeshift…

Today I celebrated National Quilting Day with a visit to the Music City Modern Quilt Guild!   I brought along a recent finish, my first quilt top for do. Good Stitches. Can you spy my piecing “fail”? Regardless, I’m still happy with the way this one turned out, and the colors are perfect for spring…

Hello! I got back from QuiltCon yesterday morning, and I wanted to share with you some favorite quilts from the show that really inspired me. I realize there are some great ones that I missed, probably because I ended up talking to so many great people this weekend! I’ll be back to talk a bit…

Well, the biggest surprise this week is that I’m leaving tomorrow for QuiltCon, a completely last-minute decision that I’m pretty darn happy about! My reasons for going to QuiltCon: 1) Meeting online quilting friends in person is awesome. 2) The next QuiltCon isn’t until 2015. By that time, we’ll all drive around in flying cars…

This block is for Val, who is doing something really great! Between moving and sewing for a couple of deadlines, I haven’t had much sewing to blog about, but it was really fun to work on these improv curves. Something totally different to me and I used all fabric scraps. Val shares a tutorial for…

Last Friday, we packed up all of our belongings in snowy Indiana, and headed south to Tennessee. Exhausted. Many tears. Goodbyes to wonderful friends. As my husband and I closed the door to our home for the last time, we looked at each other, and I absolutely lost it. Out of the blue, I had…
