Woo hoo! This project has been dragging on forever. I accepted the challenge/assignment from the team at Gotham Quilts this summer. My schedule has been so full that I haven't been able to give it the full attention it needs. If you have ever made an Elizabeth Hartman pattern, you know what I am talking … Continue reading Fancy Forest – Finally Finished!
Welcome to my stop on the Island Batik Getaway Blog Hop. In my house, a Getaway means heading south. My family particularly enjoys heading to the Caribbean in the winter - soaking in the warmth and the bold colors helps us survive the grey northern winter. Not this winter, though. A new job and new … Continue reading I Want to Get Away with Island Batik
The Island Batik Ambassadors are pulling out all of the stops over the next few weeks. Each of us was given a new fabric collection in our boxes this summer. We had to keep them secret this whole time! It has been horrible. Honestly. Starting today, we are finally able to let our fabrics out … Continue reading Island Batik Getaway Blog Hop

Do you have any little projects that you have admired for a while, but always forget about? The Head Rest Pillow from the AQS blog is one of mine. Better yet, it is a free pattern. Luckily, my friend Deb from my modern quilt guild posted it on Facebook a few weeks ago. I remembered … Continue reading Quick Neck Pillow

Her quilt designs and fabrics are all very modern, and it took me a little bit to warm up to them. I'm still learning to … Continue reading Start with a Finish QAL
I have completed my December challenge, and y'all, look at the calendar. I have 3 days left before it is "due". It's a Christmas miracle! Scrolling through Instagram, I noticed that Moss and Lotus was hosting another Tomte Stitch Along this year. I was so happy, because last year I bought the pattern, but never … Continue reading Whimsical and Wonky with Island Batik
Once again, I'm joining Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl for her 2019 Planning Party. I've been thinking really hard about how I want to adjust my business in 2019. Longarming has become the primary focus for my business. I have enough work most weeks that I can be quilting, and earning, five days per week. I … Continue reading 2019 Planning Party
Cheryl, at Meadow Mist Designs is hosting a Best of 2018 Linky Party. I decided to look at my blog stats and see which posts got the most hits in 2018.

It's time for me to get my plan for 2019 in order, but before I can do that, I like to review what my goals for 2018 were, and see how I did. I started the year with big plans. My goals were incredibly lofty. I accomplished some, and abandoned others. I signed up for … Continue reading 2018 In Review
