I was feeling scrappy last weekend. Literally and figuratively. There are two meanings to scrappy and I qualified for both. “Made up of scraps or of odds and ends; fragmented: disconnected.” “Fond of fighting, arguing, or competing.” These are the days I’m not fit for human companionship. I put myself in time-out and […]

How I know I’m in good mental shape? When I’m engaging in the things that I love. This is how I knew I might finally be healing from the effects of Lyme. Around the end of May I started sewing again. Honestly I had not stepped foot in my sewing room since about January. I […]

Some of you may remember my old friend, The Amish Cowgirl Well, I said goodbye to her Saturday. It’s hard to say goodbye when you’ve been friends for so long. She was my first vintage quilt. I sold her to someone who really wanted and appreciated her and will cherish her in her home. […]

Staying with the “Our Lady” theme ….. I hope I’m not doing anything insensitive here. I’m not Catholic, but I have consulted my Catholic girlfriends, and I have spent lots of time in Mexico. I love the art form of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This is one of the fabric art panels I bought […]

Our Lady of Guadalupe. En espanol por favor. Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. I don’t have a Spanish Keyboard to get the proper punctuations. Lo siento. I made a similar pillow earlier this year. A really nice man bought it on my Etsy Shop for his wife. Our Lady now resides in Laguna Niguel, California. […]

I met “My Muse” in person when I made this quilt. It was a magical experience that I will never forget. I even blogged about it here. My Muse Was In The Room. This was my most favorite quilt I ever made at the time. I think it was my second one. I […]
