About Me

My photo
I am a 40 something female who has a great love for crafts...any crafts. I love quilting, I collect fabrics, books and patterns. I enjoy traditional patterns in bright colors. My favorite fabrics are batiks and brights. Because I am a great collector...I now have a stash that is out of control. My goal for the upcoming year is to reduce my stash. I won't stop collecting so I need to become more productive.

Stress!

It is awful when outside life gets in the way of your sewing! My sewing room is just as messing as ever...perhaps more so. I have several BIG projects coming up and can I just tell you that I wish certain people in my life would leave me alone. I have no time to car shop....I don't want to look at property...and no, I am not going to change my plans for Tahoe.
Well, I guess winter is over. I really love winter, the crispness of it. The lack of insects the need to snuggle under lots of bed covers. The need for quilts.
I grew up with quilts. Little blanket of love created by my family. Whenever I sleep under quilts from my childhood I feel the hugs from my great aunt, the gentle kiss from my grandmother. I hear all their words of encouragement and I smile. They are not here physically but are present in every stitch of the quilts they left for me. No wonder I am such a peaceful sleeper. A quilt is better than any picture in a frame.
