Cherry Limeaid and Blueberry Pie

I started this quilt in 2014. It's been pieced for awhile now, but I struggled with how to quilt it -- spent a fair bit of time over the Christmas holidays ripping out a bunch, and then I went to town. I was really sick of it by the time I finished it up Thursday night. It's a big quilt, 103 by ... VIEW POST

2011 Printz Award Winners

So, my last post was all about how I intended to write more and sooner about the books I had read, and yet here it is, however many weeks (um, months...) later, and I haven't written another word.

It was also a little slow to start, and I let myself get distracted by a couple of other things. Once I got going, and really got into it, though, I was ... VIEW POST

Holly and Mistletoe, Mostly Finished

I have a bad habit of calling a quilt finished when the quilting is done. It is not, in fact, completely done until the binding is all attached, but here I am again, telling you about a quilt that I've just "finished." I posted last weekend about it, whining about how I just a little bit of the ... VIEW POST
