  • Cover-up for N95 Mask

    Cover-up for N95 Mask

    I had to go grocery shopping and wanted a covering for my old N95 mask. I have been wearing masks for years when I work on anything from insulating my cabin with fiberglass… …to tearing down an old cabin filled with black mold. I am very used to using masks and I have several that…

  • Blue Alaska!

    I love living in Alaska! I’ve lived here 35 years and traveled the state quite a bit, but I’m not done yet. There’s just too much to see, from the islands of the Aleutian Chain (next year’s trip, I’ve promised myself!) to the northern Arctic Wildlife Refuge to the islands of the south east panhandle.…

  • Meeting Friends

    This is a long story that started with trying to get caught up on my ‘not related to quilting’ list. I’ve always admired well put together newsletters that I receive, mostly from quilters and shops but also from other businesses that I like or use often, and I’ve wanted to create my own for years.…

  • For My Rabbit Loving Friends

She loved it so much that she made about five different tops! Check back here regularly because I’ll be playing with new designs on the…

  • 5 Minute 5 Dollar Organizer

    My pal Judy Wedemeyer gets credit for this one and she’s going to post about it on her blog too 🙂 We were chatting about making quilted Art Cards and she wanted to show me some of the decorative bits she’d collected that she used to both make the cards and to give her inspiration.…

  • My Design Wall Trinkets

    I watched a video that made me start thinking about all the things that I keep up on my walls in my quilting area. As a response to the video I watched, I made this video which thanks the original artist, Margaret Fabrizio, and shows some of my cherished bits and tells their story. The…

  • Want to Make a Quilt With Me?

    I’ve been thinking about making another “Shortcake” quilt or else the “Easy To Go Crazy” quilt from our book. A quick and easy design. Anyone want to make a quilt with me? A quilt-a-long where we all quilt together? I have a free week coming up soon and I’m itching to cut some fabric! Let…
