Lake George in the Adirondacks has been called the “Queen of Lakes”. We went out on it for the first time this week on a friend’s boat, and it was… an amazing 2 hours. Beautiful clear water (we could see down to about 25 feet), perfect skies and mountains, and campsites all along the lake […]
Valances to be made… pondering color options
Unfortunately, the grey flowers from the line didn’t work at all with the blue, and the sapphire didn’t, either. What do you think? Similar, yet… not.
Today’s that kinda day
Today’s the sort of day where I start thinking about what things are worthy rewards for the terrible horrible no good very bad day it has been. And yesterday, too. Not that I will do this, but it’s nice to have pretty dreams when you’re incertain about kids getting stitches and being a half hour […]
So I did what any normal person would do.
I ordered all the fat quarters from Intrepid Thread so I could make an informed choice. I can make a quilt or pillows to tie the room together. Right?
What would you do? The curtain dilemma edition.
We’ve been living in this house for 6 years (we moved two weeks after our first kid was born and *that* was clearly not the best decision in the world), and we painted not long after we moved in. And then things kinda stagnated; it’s been six years and sometimes I still feel like it’s not […]

Woohoo!
The Summer edition of Modern Quilts Unlimited just came out digitally, and I have my second quilt “All Together Now” is included in it! I am pretty happy, because I really love this quilt. It’s a twin-size quilt at 69″ x 90″ and will be going on the bed we made from scratch for my little […]
The last week, in pictures
Last Friday, we picked blueberries And finished building Jack’s bed: Saturday was a birthday part in the morning, and our yearly neighborhood carnival and fireworks: Sunday was yard work (not my fave, no pics, ha!) Andy yesterday we went to Schroon Lake, a lovely place in the Adirondacks about an hour from where we live: […]
Have you seen this contest?
If you haven’t, you should consider it– a modern double wedding ring quilt contest sponsored by NYC Mod! You can get all the juicy details here. The deadline is December 1, so you have a wee bit of time to think about it.
Food for thought
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, […]
