  • Great Stash Quilt and Tutorial

    I want to make this quilt! Made by Liz Harvatine, she calls it “Confetti” and I *love* it! Here’s her tutorial, which I found very understandable and I have TONS of scraps. This is right up my alley! Thank you Liz for my next project 🙂 Today I am putting the sashing on my funky,…

  • Do you Play Pool or Billiards?

    We decided, on the spur of the moment, to go to Anchorage for the weekend so that Tom could play in the Fur Rondy Pool Tournament. First, for anyone not in Alaska, Fur Rondy has its traditions in the old fur trade (furs are still traded today) and as a break in the monotony of…

  • My Super Sunday

    Granny’s Closet, Jodi, Judy W, Desertsky & Garnet Rose, I *did* go out for a wonderful walk yesterday, after everyone’s urging and it was GREAT! I walked on the beach in the salt water, listening to it splash onshore (bundled up in my parka and ExtraTuffs!) Still, the sun was out and it was great!…

  • Cabin Fever fabric give away!

    Yikes, I have cabin fever *B*A*D*! Do you get this? How do you deal with it? This is one of the worst years ever! Can the “hormonal” issues of being age 50 have something to do with it? (yes, the “M” word). I am going to go clean up my stash (again). When I am…

  • New Fabric!

    Oh what a great trip to Anchorage! To visit my favorite quilt shop (Seams Like Home Quilt Shoppe) and see the familiar faces and the new, gorgeous fabrics. Heaven!! Then Sarah arrived with granddaughter Audrey and the *real* fun began 🙂 Confession: I do not shop for fabric. I have asked (that being the polite…

  • Going shopping for fabric – yay!

    I’ll be in Anchorage for a short period over the weekend and I get to go to my quilt shop! I *love* it there! I always bump into someone I know and I get to look at all the great new fabrics and get inspired by the projects on the walls. Since it is a…

  • Updated demo video

    I updated the video that shows the Crazy Shortcut Quilts demo. I finally got Sarah to film some footage (talk about pulling teeth!) and so I re-did the whole thing. Originally, all the videos were supposed to be “just for fun” and I had planned on taking a few comments and then re-doing them. Well,…

  • Quilting for a Very Good Cause

    My daughter Sarah and I love to donate quilts to the CASA program for their Quilt Auction each November. We also use the auction to see and visit with quilters that we only see once a year – -at the auction! I look forward to seeing my pals Kathy Harte and Judy Wedemeyer and Ruth…

  • Getting ready for Quilt Market

    This is what happens when I am working on quilts…..hehehehe….and I’m not even apologetic about it! Every load of washing (at least I’m washing the dirty clothes!) gets brought up to the living room and then left there. That’s why I have about 7 laundry baskets…this is a lifelong habit and it makes me laugh.…
