A Virtual Quilting Bee block for Anina of Twiddletails. This was a fun block to create. Very flirty and romantic. I don’t use those types of fabrics in my quilts very often but I sure do love them. I’m enjoying this project because it’s stretching me to think outside what I normally do. Anina sent…
I composed a post every day this week. Unfortunately not a single one made it from brain to keyboard. Overcommitment on my part fueled the fire. I ALWAYS imagine I can accomplish a task more quickly than is in fact humanly possible. And goodness, for creative endeavors there’s always that last minute design crisis. I’ve…

I’ve been in denial since Linda at CraftApple first broke the news to me. Out of production. Kaput. Timtex is no more. I’m hoarding the last of my supply, deciding which project is Timtex worthy. I feel like Elaine with her sponges. Timtex was the perfect product in my eyes. I’m still holding out a…

Just a few days late. That’s how my weeks have been going. I like to be on time. On time for the ferry. On time for airplane rides. On time for school meetings. On time for lunch with a friend. Being late does not sit well with me. This is the 8th end-of-school year rush…
