Look who’s here: Kimberly came to visit last week, and we had a blast! We quilted (a little), shopped (a bit), ate (lunch and pastries), and gabbed (a lot)! She brought me a pile of goodies: How cool! There’s Kimberly’s Easy Hearts cutting template, a nifty little rotary cutter to go with it, her Easy [...]

Why?? Because that’s what I’m feeling like today. And these probably have nothing to do with quilting, unfortunately. I’d even be happy to be working on some quilting project that wasn’t going well, as opposed to not quilting at all, which is how it is right now. Anyway, Rant #1: Six weeks ago or so, [...]

Does an 11.5lb cat fit into a bread basket?

They’re very good at that part. No, what’s truly amazing is that they’re doing it together. They’re on top of my [...]
