29 Days, Day 9 and on
It occurred to me today, when I was writing the first draft of this post that to tell you all the gift would be to put something very personal about someone else on my blog. I definitely don’t mind dishing dirt about myself, but I don’t feel right sharing the intimate details about someone else [...]

29 Days, Day 8
Today I gave to the Red Cross for Haiti. It was easy – just a simple text and viola. This was one of many donations to the Haiti relief organizations that we’ve made, but I believe that they all help. We’re supposed to be getting 53 Haitians to our hospital over the next few weeks; [...]

Modern Tradition – February
Aren’t these blocks beautiful? I’m not being smug – Leanne picked the fabrics out – not me :) I’ve told her before how much I want to raid her fabric stash, and boy is that ever true now. Her color choices were so great; so vivid! These blocks are for the February edition of [...]

I’m IN LOVE with these blocks! These blocks were for the February edition of our Spider Bee. Brioni did such an amazing job picking out fabrics, and fussy cutting her base fabric so well. I *really* loved making these – and can’t wait to see the final result!
Modern Quilt Bee – February Block
Quilting bees can be addicting. You can see proof to the right where you’ll now see that I’m part of SIX quilt bees. Wasn’t one or two enough you ask? NO. Did I need any more excuses to use my sewing machine? NO. This isn’t about logic. This is an addiction! But its fun, and [...]
29 Days, Day 6
Today’s gift was simple – I sent my Mom a sweet little note and some chocolates in the mail to bring her some sunshine. I know she could use it. I love you Momma!

29 Days, Days 5 – a quilt for my MIL
So I resumed counting yesterday on my 29 days and yesterday’s gift was a quilt to my mother-in-law. Yes this was her Christmas gift, and yes, its over a month late. But its still a gift because I worked SO hard on it. And its late because my father-in-law had very unexpected open heart surgery [...]
