Sentimental Stitches

Quilters and chocolate seem to go together like Easter and bunnies. I’m putting them all together in today’s motif.
I have found a great way to justify having a few of my favorite chocolates every day. Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries. Dark chocolate - good for your heart! Cherries - good for you! How can I go [...]

Clutch and I have to head back to TC today so we can be at work bright and early tomorrow morning. We changed to daylight savings time last night and my body clock is messed up. It’ll probably take me about a week to adjust. Is that another one of those middle age things? More [...]

When Clutch and I arrived Thursday night Rob and Kevin were waiting for us. There were warm hugs and kisses along with a lot of face licking, tail wagging and even a little piddling because Clutch was so happy to be home. Paul came over later in the evening making our family complete. His friend [...]

Clutch and I are in Grand Rapids. We’ll spend our day getting things ready for Kevin’s birthday dinner tonight and relaxing. It sure is nice to be here!

My baby is 24 years old today. It seems like it was just yesterday I was waking my husband from a sound sleep to go to the hospital. Kevin was born only 45 minutes after we arrived. He was in a hurry!

Here’s todays block.

March Block 6

It’s so nice to have everything working like it should. I’m back to drawing, tracing and scanning blocks for the Motifs of March. Your response has been overwhelming. Thank you. It’s nice to read about the quilts you’re making and other ideas you have planned for the blocks.

I’m packing the car tonight for a trip [...]

A big thank you to Paul for letting you know about our technical illness.

I’ve been babying the power connection to the laptop for several weeks. I should have taken it to the doctor at the first sign of trouble but instead I rigged up all kinds of props, masking tape, even duct tape trying to [...]

This is Gayle’s son posting for her… Her laptop has had a cold over the past few days and took a turn for the worse this morning. It’s currently in the laptop hospital recovering and should be back to normal by Thursday. Until then the Motifs of March will be on hold… [...]

It’s no secret I love embroidery. I’ve been doing it since I was 12 years old. I’m not saying I want to show you what my stitches looked like but I was sticking with it. I’ve heard from many of you how much you enjoy embroidery and redwork too so I decided to do something [...]
