Grandma's Sheets Quilt After my Grandma passed away I was able to be there with aunts, uncles, and cousins as we sorted the items that remained in her home. Because she was so organized there wasn't much left...only precious memories and utilitarian items...like a set of old sheets...sheets that moved from house to house...that I had slept in....that were quintessentially my grandmother. That set of sheets came home with me. I tried to cut into them a number of times but ... View the Post
Endurance Quilt Block Goes to London
Endurance Quilt Block Goes to London Awhile back I started a series that I knew would be a personal project that, for me, would last a lifetime. I called it "Grounded: A Quilt Block Series" and it was based on combining flooring patterns that I love and admire with the grounding feeling I get when I sew. At the time I had no idea how needed this grounding would, and continues to be for me. The time I've spent alone cutting and stitching while thinking about various spaces has seen ... View the Post
Do-It-Yourself Döners for Dinner
Do-It-Yourself Döners for Dinner (Perfect for Summer Nights) Ok, ok...I KNOW these are NOT traditional döners...or gyros...or shawarmas but I live in the southwest and don't have easy access to a vertical spit rotating stacks of savory chicken, lamb, pork, or beef.

I was first introduced to döners a few years back. We were ... View the Post

Feed the Birds…Tuppence a Bag
Feed the Birds...Tuppence a Bag Awhile back I had the opportunity to take my family on a summer adventure of a lifetime that included a brief stay in London!!! I LOVE London...the sights, the food, the history, the atmosphere...to me, it feels magical. And one of my favorite places in London is St. Paul's Cathedral...both because of the history of the building itself (especially its survival of WWII) and because of something far more juvenile...its roll in one of my favorite Disney ...

Another Log Cabin Quilt
I have another Log Cabin Quilt to share....it isn't the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I love Log Cabin Quilt Blocks. I love them so much we recorded an entire podcast about them. And we have a tutorial showing you how to make them. And we have a Log Cabin (Heart of the Home) PDF Quilt Pattern. And...if I'm honest...I always have a pile of these blocks in the works. There's just something about that golden block in the center that grows and spreads as the ... View the Post
