The Sewing and Stitchery Expo is taking place through Sunday (March 2, 2008). Billed as “the nation’s largest sewing show!” it’s HUGE. Many women will get a hotel room and go all four days, I met people who had come up from Oregon and distant towns in Washington. I ate lunch next to the President [...]

Inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy
Kendra Allen created these fabulous birch bark prayer flags for last month’s Out of the Box challenge. Kendra was the one who submitted this challenge idea, at the meeting she spoke further about her inspiration for the idea and a discussion about Andy Goldsworthy ensued.
When I got home from the meeting I reserved some books, [...]
Favicons
This is the new favicon I made for my website. I made one last year for my blog and I had to laugh at the time because I didn’t even know what they were called. I googled for something like “little picture on the web address bar” and found it.
Today I used this very cool [...]
Sew, Mama, Sew! Article
A HUGE thank you to Kristin at Sew, Mama, Sew! for inviting me to write a guest article on Tuesday. I’m absolutely loving Quilting Month, the quilt of the day is my favorite part. Lots of new visitors have come by (welcome and thank you!) which I celebrated by breaking my RSS feed.
So… another HUGE [...]
Virtual Quilting Bee – February
The block I created for Jennifer for the Virtual Quilting Bee. She sent us the gorgeous Ikea print with colors galore. There were better photos of the block proper but none captured the sun like this one. It decided to come out and play today, yippeeee, Spring really will come again!
Quilter’s Cache calls this pattern [...]
2008 Kitsap Quilters Guild Show
The 23rd Annual Kitsap Quilters Guild Show is taking place today and tomorrow (Friday & Saturday, February 15 & 16). This quilt stole the show. Margret Darrah is a friend of mine so even though I’m partial to her talent, my jaw dropped when I saw this one. The quilting was done by Marybeth O’Halloran [...]
Hot & Spicy
That’s the way we like our Chinese food. Last night’s dinner featured Hot Hunan Shrimp and Dan Dan Noodles, and let me tell you, it was OUTSTANDING. My food photography sucks, I Photoshop’ed it so you’re not scared away. You really have to try these. This meal is the first entry on our Best of [...]
Auction Season
Mr. E’s teacher quilt, posted two years ago, an excellent example of time flying!
The series of posts I did on that quilt get a fair number of Google visitors. I can tell it’s school auction season because I’m starting to get e-mails requesting help. Time for a round up post.
I did four posts about the [...]
Plant Markers
Each time I write about my Out of the Box challenges I get questions about the group itself. I plan to start answering them along the way. Please feel free to add your questions to the comments so I can keep a running list. All these posts will be tagged with the Out of the [...]
Thread Storage
Thread storage. I sat on that problem for years. Previous method: 5 shoe box size plastic containers sitting on the floor, colors sorted into small plastic sandwich bags. Not an efficient method for finding a color match.
These magic ArtBin Thread Boxes were my Christmas booty from Greg’s annual pilgrimage with the girls to buy Mom [...]
