• Peeps help me design

    Yesterday my husband bought me my favorite Easter treat!  PEEPS!  Two packages of yellow chicks.  I consumed one box right away, I just couldn’t help myself.  I’m trying to have control with the other package, make myself eat only one at a time, ok two at a time, but at least sit down at my desk and eat them slowly. …

  • New Year’s Day Winners

    I thought Chelsea would join me tonight to announce the winners, but she’s been sleeping for most of the day. She had good intentions, I know she did.  I read her some of your comments last night as we watched the ball drop in New York (that would be 9PM California time), and we all went to bed right after…

I filled my pincushion with ground walnut shells (you can buy them at any pet store in…

  • Moda All-Stars

    I think I love this new Moda All-Stars All In A Row Again book more than the first All in a Row book. Is that possible? Maybe, but I’m not ready to give up the first All in a Row because the combination of the two books means so many more cute quilts! The two books work perfectly together! Here’s…
