So I had two Star Wars quilts ready to baste, no money to send them out to a long-armer, and a whole day to myself. Now, I’m a bit older than all these young bloggers out there, and can’t get down on the floor to baste anymore. I’ve watched a lot of tutorials on…

Most of the blogs I read these days happen to be authored by women who label themselves as “modern” quilters. When this latest ‘modern’ movement began, I really did not care for the quilts being produced. To me, they seemed altogether too gray and bland, or they were simply traditional quilts made in gray and…

The armadillo mug rug is done, but I have doubts that it would wash well, and since that is one of the requirements for the swap, I decided I would make another one to send along, too. Here it is: It didn’t take long at all, and it was fun to make. My next project,…

Not really. It was more challenging than I thought it would be, but I enjoyed it once I decided to persevere! You may remember that I was going to do a house mug rug. Well, once I received the name of my partner, I changed my mind. She lives in Texas, and I thought a…

I love notebooks, journals, and planners of every kind. When I cleaned out my oldest daughter’s room after she left for college, I found an entire box of cute notebooks I had given her over the years! Most of them had one or two pages written on, but that was it. Still, I think that…

What, you may wonder, exactly do I mean by “Living Life in Pieces?” Obviously, as a quilter, I mean pieces of fabric. I love fabric. All kinds of fabric! And quilts—especially scrap quilts. The scrappier, the better. I love bright colors, I love muted reproduction colors, I love pastels, I love black and white. I…

I have a confession to make. After all, I don’t want to start this blog on false pretenses. So, here goes! I am not an award winning quilter. Really. The only ribbons I have from quilt shows are participation ribbons. My machine quilting leaves much to be desired, and back when I still had time…
