Sentimental Stitches

Sally Post Floral Sampler Quilt Block 22
RETIRED

I’ve written before about the Moomer’s ice cream Clutch and I have every evening. It’s like a timer goes off in his body each night at 9:30. He pops up from a sound sleep, gets right in my face and stares at me until we go over to the freezer and the dance begins. He [...]

The number of boats in front of the cottage are causing Clutch some great concern. He’s very protective of the bass and bluegills who are bedding in the shallow waters. It drives him (and me I guess) crazy when the fishermen are coming so close that we have to spend time almost every day retrieving [...]

No time for chit chat this morning. Monday has come way too fast. I sure could have used another day to finish up laundry, cleaning and do some stitching.

Did you know Spring Quilt Market starts today in Portland, OR? Just think of all the wonderful new things you’ll find in your local quilt shop and online in the next few weeks. I’m [...]

Sorry friends - no block this morning. Everything’s fine, just had another project with a firm deadline that took my time. I’ll post today’s Applique in May block tonight after work and it will stay on the site for two days so no one will miss out. We’ll be back on our regular schedule tomorrow.
