The Bears Are In!
Happy Friday everyone! The bears are in thanks to all of you! How could my husband resist after reading your comments? He happily carried the bears back inside, and now I think I’ll find a place for them every year. Tradition, isn’t it wonderful? I’ve put them in a vintage pink cradle I’ve been saving for something special. The cradle is large enough for triplets so the bears feel right at home. This brown bear peaking out from the back is a vintage teddy bear. He’s well loved, a bit saggy and I think he’s my favorite! He found a home with me the minute I saw him. He’s a…

A Christmas Without Bears?
I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas like many of you. My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?” ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said. “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.” And then tonight I found these pictures… “So you’re done now, right? I can put all these boxes away?” “Yes, all finished!”, I said. But that was before I found the photos. I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins. I don’t know where I’ll put them now that…

Snow Birds, Freezy and Winter Wishes
When I began working on my Crystal Lane quilt, I researched “Winter” critters on Google. I was looking for the ones that brave the cold, snow, and don’t mind a few icicles. The ones that survive those freezing temps. I found some pretty cute winter critters, but I fell in love when I saw the Snowy Owl. I can tell by looking at these owls they are very wise. No bird brains here, so to speak. You’ll find a few of these owls on my Crystal Lane quilt. I just couldn’t resist. Snow Birds I’ve also featured these owls on a mini quilt I’m calling Snow Birds. Snow Birds finishes…

a million little crystals
The snow is sparkling like a million little crystals. You’ll find these words on the selvage of Crystal Lane, my next fabric line for Moda. It’s one I’ve fallen in love with because next to pink, my favorite color is French Blue! In shades of Crystal Blue, Winter White, and a touch of Nutmeg, Crystal Lane will take you into the Winter season of 2021. It’s a time for crisp mornings and cold nights, cold toes, and cold noses. Crystal Lane ships to quilt shops in April of 2021, and I’ve got lots of new patterns to go with it! I’ll show you all the new patterns this week, starting…

For The Love of a Dog
I posted this picture and story about Milkshake on Instagram last July, but in case you missed it here it is again… “The love from this old dog has taught me so much: It knows no end, it has no limit and it will always be there. She’s my senior rescue (13) and she has congestive heart failure. We’ve known about her heart since July 2014 and she’s still with me. I don’t think her heart has finished teaching me yet.” I have the hardest time writing about her on this blog. Somehow if I write about it here, it will make it come true. I’m not rational when it…
