Sometimes I can’t find my horses. It’s not that this ranch is so big. It’s not. I think they deliberately hide from me. They stand there laughing in groves of trees as Puncher and I whip by on the 4-wheeler 3 times. They know I’m looking for them. I check on them every couple of […]

I was going to call this post “The Ugliest Quilt Ever”. But that’s really not fair, nor is it true. These vintage quilt blocks came in a boot box full of treasures I bought from a custom quilt shop.I laid them out in my studio and stared at them for weeks. I think these fabrics […]

This fall I’ve walked in beauty everyday. I walk down by the creek behind the house. It’s good for my mental health. After a summer of drought my senses are a dried up sponge. Tiger Kitty is good for my mental health too. She follows me everywhere. I try not to trip over her. […]

I had 32 blocks left from the Crazy Quilt of my last post. I wanted this one to be larger and different.

Tip Dear Friends, One week after I posted the blog about This Old Dog, Tip , he left me behind and went to the other side. There was an accident and he was gone. I was unprepared for the extent of my grief. I wasn’t ready. I was happy taking care of my old friend […]

After my recent epiphany that quilting is like Canned Soup (artistically speaking, of course, for myself only) I know I can do this myself and it will taste better. I purchased one item. A Bernina Free Hand Quilting Foot for $40. Then I watched a couple videos on YouTube. This is our maiden voyage. I am in […]

In June I blogged about my non-process of putting this quilt together. Fiber Art 10, My Muse Was In The Room I was so excited about it at the time, then I let it sit for three months before I took it to my Custom Quilter to finish. I am in a quandary as to […]
