This is Jack. Yes, as in Jack the Ripper. Not in the macabre way, though that is my humour & taste in books, it’s just my playful name for my seam ripper. Jack & I got to spend a lot of time together this week as I worked to finish my entry in [...]

Can You Help a Bee Out?
I’m still new to Blogland and virtual quilting bees and linky parties but I’m finding such wonderful inspiration from all of it. I have to be careful about how much I sign up to do because while I want to do it ALL, my clones would end up with much of the fun. This said, [...]
Coming down off a Peaks high
Organising and running a quilt retreat is a bit like planning a wedding. Venue, food, activities, guest accommodations and a multitude of other aspects have to be arranged.

My Covert Robin gifts arrived just before I left for the Peaks 3 retreat and I’d just received confirmation that my own Robin had landed but no time to whip up the post so here it [...]

I am having a great time visiting new blogs (BlogLovin is straining under my continuous additions) and seeing how others have interpreted this theme. It’s been raining here for [...]

My kids were with their dad so we had the house to ourselves. National/Worldwide Quilting Day or not, for us, it was simply some dedicated time to quilt [...]
Change is the Constant
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/6175191/?claim=fagaw8bw3ke”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> Grrrr. While the only constant in life is change, doesn’t mean it’s easy.
