The honeymoon continues as “Big B” and I get to know each other. Can you be in love with a machine? Is there a name for that? Well, I’m so love. Now I have to stop and give credit. My Brother machine did serve me well and while I loved her in our moments together. [...]

While I posted on Friday that I need to get my butt in gear and get ready for Rhinebeck. My sewing machine is beckoning…like the whale to Ahab… They say as you age the best thing to do to keep the mind sharp is to learn something new. So how about a new project to [...]

Here’s a peek at my what I’m quilting these days. It’s intended for the new baby girl of a friend of my sister’s. After much experimenting I decided to just go simple and quick. This has been sitting in the basket for way to long… but with Hurricane Irene headed our way I’ll have plenty [...]

Today was a picture perfect summer day. Blue skies, low humidity, bright sun…a great day. So how did I spend it? I was online watching quilting videos while knitting. Yes I have a problem…I admit it and I’m not going to do a thing to change it…. That said…if you’re looking for a great online [...]
