I am the well-trained caretaker of a very silly Golden Retriever.
Interests: Stuff. I like stuff. Okay, I'll be more specific... I like to make stuff, learn stuff, figure out stuff, get into stuff, see new stuff and so on.
If you're reading here, then you probably already know that I like to make quilts. I'm Carrie, the two-legged part of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Rosie is my silly, sweet sewing buddy.

LOL I'm obsessed with little stacks! Folks used to laugh at me when I'd bring my pre-cut fabrics to a class in neat little stacks. Seriously!
I'm doing three blocks at a time - sewing all the "parts" and then assembling the blocks. I have eight done and two more "in progress". Does that mean I'm winning? Must sew faster... must sew faster...
By the way, just so you know, I love your quilt. I would copy it in a heartbeat.
P.S. I sent a box of silliness to you yesterday. Sorry about the lack of wrapping paper but bubble wrap was more important. You'll understand when you see it. :)
Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho!!

Quilting along
The last few weeks I've been knee deep in Christmas sewing. Not just mine, but helping a sweet friend of mine make her very first quilt to give to her parents for Christmas. It has been so much fun! You should have seen her face when she held up her finished quilt. It was so great! My APQ...
Perfection! As always, your new creations are delectably gorgeous. I want the patterns... I want the fabric... okay, I want the quilts. But I'll settle for the patterns and fabric.
Congratulations - this qualifies as D O N E.
Good job!

New April Showers patterns
Guess what! I'm done! Well, with my new patterns, that is. Quilt Market is next weekend, and I have one last minute quilt to bind and booth stuff to pull together (not to mention a badly needed haircut to fit in) but I'm so happy to finally have patterns all ready to go! I know you are proba...
ROFL!!! I didn't think it was possible! A cookie recipe that sounds truly awful. Yuck! Then again... I once thought that about Carrot Cake and Chocolate Zucchini Cake. Gives a girl pause...
As for the sweatshirt... you ROCK! Thank you for making me feel much, much better about some of my recent - current! - sartorial choices. (I'm still in my pajamas.)
Have a great week with Mom and that house full of gorgeous boys. :)

What you missed...
Since my last post to right at this moment, here's what you missed: I cleaned up my sewing room and found a bunch of scissors I blamed my kids for losing. Oops. Oh well, my mom did this too, and I survived. Nic fed Grandpa cookies via Skype and then he played the piano. I got a bin...
You've done all that AND decorated the tree... I. Am. So. Depressed. ;)
I'm going to "ditto" everybody else - your boys are SO cute! Handsome! Nah... while they are, they're also just so so stinkin' cute. They take after Jarom. :::snort:::
I love Happy Go Lucky and I can't wait to see the quilts. Including the DS Quilts one.

Counting down
(The sixth stocking belongs to our dog, Max) Happy December! What's new with us? Well, a lot. * One of us turned two, can you believe it? Nicholas is absolutely in love with all thing cars so we got him a little Mini Cooper ride-on car for his birthday. He was in heaven. Still is. He...

That's what I'm doing wrong! I need some boys around to sew for me... though I'm not sure what difference it would make since you're not getting any sleep and you've got 'em!
Good night! (Sleep fast.)

Popping in
We've been doing a lot of sewing over here. Blogging not so much, but sewing has been crazy lately. Here's the really quick rundown via Instagram. I have had so many sewers over here the last year or so I finally broke down and bought a second machine. So far, so good. She's a Bernina 1008...
There's no "maybe" about it ~ the Roskelley house is gorgeous! Congratulations and great job to you and Jarom, and I hope you are as happy in your new house as you were in the "old house". :)
Have fun with the sewing room... it's less than six weeks to Market.

Okay, these are in progress photos, not after photos. (I feel like I've said that before?) After I've hung some stuff on the walls, installed hardware, fluffed pillows, made children get dressed, etc. I will post a few more. And since it is just so much better with before photos, I'll put ...
WAY better... though I'm with some of the others who think you should have kept the navy ceiling. (Not.)
I think you're going to love the change from wall-to-wall carpeting to hardwood floors.
Great job! And you can sleep in July. :)

Somewhere in the middle
My pretty pretty tile. I'm thinking it will also look better when it isn't filthy. Yes? We are getting close. Well, closer. We still need a new mantel, baseboards and carpet. Plus a ton (a TON) of details like knobs and pulls, and faucets... and toilets... but we are getting close to being...
