I’m supplying at the local First Nations school almost full time now. This means I have little time at home when my brain is functioning for some quality quilting time. I finally got the hst border on this block. It has the top border pieces added to it as well now. I did take…

My son found this little package of organizing bliss on a bottom shelf in a local chain store. After I searched for a pink one and found they were already gone, I brought a green one home! It fits perfectly in the corner on my sewing table. My machine is on the left here…

I thought I’d better share my Christmas goodies – before I start getting birthday ones!! My dad picked out this stash of fat quarters for me. Several wrapped other gifts, and some were a gift on their own. I definitely have some more pinks to play with now! Thanks, dad! I got myself this bundle…

I knew it was time to work on my board yesterday when the moon peeked out over the trees. Glowing yellow in a blue winter sky. The prompt for the Full Wolf Moon is What are you Hungry for? I even managed to find some wolves howling for the board! This one is still…
