Denyse Schmidt's Modern Quilts book giveaway and Hat Shop giveaway winner
Denyse Schmidt provided one of my earliest introductions to the modern quilting movement. I love that she derives inspiration from vintage quilts and designs since these are dear to me already, but she cleans them up for the current quilter so that things look both familiar and fresh. I've gi...

It wasn't a bad burn. Just enough that I noticed it... I've done worse with the iron before, sadly!

Old habits are hard to make
I have so many excuses, but the truth is, I've fallen out of the habit of sewing. While my neck was healing (and I'd say I'm about 90% there, down to just occasional twinges if I make poor choices/get jolted), I did next to no sewing. It hurt too much. I filled the time with knitting, crocheti...
Maybe we could motivate one another to do craft room clean ups?

Wordless Wednesday: I Love a Rainy Night
Come on over... I can't remember the last dry night we've had. We are on the way to setting a thunderstorm record. And after this last night, all hell broke loose with an amazing lightning and hail storm! (We did not run outside to play during that one!)

1001 Peeps book projects: Spice Route
In the Arabian Nights, there are lots of merchants, and they are buying and selling goods to be sold in the markets in these stories. Spice trade was a huge part of this trade, and ancient spice routes, were literal things! The quilt, Spice Route, is a sampler of sorts of spiced blocks blown i...
I tried one of the books- after I fell in love with the show- and didn't enjoy it much. I have to say, the first 10 mins of the episode annoyed/worried me, but then I enjoyed it. Team Erik all the way over here...

Thanks, Teresa- the whiplash is like 90% better- it basically only bugs me when I sew now. Or, as we discovered the hard way, when the driver of the car I'm in slams the breaks really, really hard...

That is a good idea- the cutting is not as bad as the sewing, though. It is bending my neck to look at the fabric running through the machine... It is slowly getting better, though... Hope you are also healing!

We had just finished reading the placard that told us that polar bears only spend about 10% of their time in the water when this guy jumped in right over our heads... Too cool.
