It’s 10:30 and I’m quitting for the day. Because tomorrow will have the Mr. Linky for the stash reports, I’m going to add Mr. Linky in this report for the Quiltathon. It will work for both days so if you have a report for Saturday and a report for Sunday, just make two [...]

The day isn’t over and I’m not stopping til I can’t sew any more.  This morning, trying to be quiet til Chad woke up, I loaded a quilt on the longarm, then trimmed two for bindings.  Then I began sewing.

Then I cut them all apart and stacked them [...]

Anyone sewing with me today? I’m working on borders. Want to guess which quilt?
Too much time was wasted this morning debating with myself about a new camera. I really want the Nikon D80 but I don’t need it. Part of me (10%) wants to be reasonable and part of [...]

My plans were to be up real early sewing but this huge storm came through last night (this story is sounding kinda like “the dog ate my homework”!).  I was downstairs (basement) working on a pattern and Vince was upstairs in bed.  About 11:30 he came running down the stairs saying the wind was horrible!  [...]
