One of my MCQ quilting friends, Sarah, invited a few of the ladies to luncheon. She had received a generous gift of dinner for 4 on the Minnesota Zephyr. We met at Sharon’s in Minneapolis, and arrived just in the nick of time to catch the train. I was running a [...]

What a difference a day makes. Whatever evil took over the last couple of days has vanished. I’m not going to say I’m 100% functional, but sitting up without watching the room spin is a good start.
I have worked a bit on my resume, and applied for a couple of things online. [...]

I know whining really doesn’t help, but, who invented the stomach flu? I want to send it back. I have things to do… wahh.

So, I hung out at a friend’s quilt shop for a while today. I love to plan quilts I’m not obligated to finish. I’m picking out fabric and talking with people, and every once a while I would smell something. Just a little whiff. Something not horrible but, odd and mildly like [...]

I always stress myself more than is really necessary during the holiday season. It all falls together in the end. And if I just remember to not tell people about the multitude of things I wanted to do but didn’t get done, they think I actually got it all done.
We had a nice day [...]

The Leftover Challenge
This is a little challenge pattern I wrote for my friend Lucy’s Quilt shop. I made a shop sample for her, and couldn’t resist turning the leftovers into something fun too. I need to work on photo placement - this seems like the longest post ever.

First things first. Open up another window, and go to Neil’s place and you can listen to the sounds of the season while you read my post about all things holiday. This is the second year Neil has hosted this. Isn’t it a great idea?

I have a bunch of things to catch up on today. Including actual laundry. I’ll spare you photos of that.
First off, many, many thanks for the massive love you sent me yesterday on the war project. The MPR interview was like an early Christmas gift. I am humbled.
Next, THANKS! to Gerrie who [...]

I have now officially used up 3 minutes of my alloted 15 minutes of fame.
My other blog, And Still Counting, chronicles the progress of a war memorial art quilt that I started last spring. Last week, Bob Collins from Minnesota Public Radio came to my home and took some photos and interviewed me about [...]

The word for the day will apparently be SNOW. We’ve been getting notice for days of impending whiteness.
I can’t feel obligated to get dressed and out of the house, because the folks on the radio keep telling me to stay put. Anything I want to do today can be done in my [...]
