Category Archives: Uncategorized For the next few Wednesdays I’m going to feature here the work of someone very special in my life… my daughter. At eleven, she has shown a talent for writing; a talent I’d like to encourage. Proud mom that I am, I’d like to introduce you to Shelby who pictured here is about four years...

{Aren’t kids delightful?} Keep writing, Shelby, from all your life experiences. It will mean so much to you later on. And thanks for letting your mom share your poetry with us. It was great to read it this evening, from the capitol of Missouri.

Ah, I’ve always wondered what they are thinking when they do things like that! Cute poem, and cute kid — with long or short hair!

What a well-written, poetic account of what seems to be a rite of passage for so many kids! I look forward to next Wednesday!  I’m more than half-way finished with my latest. I had been calling it “Filtered Sun” and my thoughts about it are here, (and more work on it here), but last night I had the words “Sheltered Sun” flash through my mind which to me sounds better. I’m not making a final decision until I see... by robin 1 comment

Hmmm. “Sheltered Sun” lends more interest, I think. Makes me think more about the word “sheltered.” And I LOVE the backing fabric you chose – wowza!  … and so the slow journey of quilting is started. Thus far I’ve got no tricks up my sleeve other than a simple back-and-forth in coordinating threads. I’d like this quilt to say a little more than “I’m a filtered sun,” but part of the beauty of this one is the simplicity of it. The... by robin 3 comments

Thanks for sharing this lovely quilt–the color, shapes, stitching, are all beautiful.

Looking good! I’ve been enjoying the filtered sun as it keeps the house cool, but I do miss the cleansing trade winds!

I’m enjoying watching your progress on this, thanks for sharing it.  I looked it up and the block featured in my latest quilt is either called “Ann and Andy” or “Triangle Tiles” depending on which source you refer to. The pattern was first documented in the 1930′s in a publication called Needlecraft Supply. Pictured here, I’m admiring all those wonderful little triangles… sooo different than the... by robin 4 comments

I never thought I’d reach a point in my life where I would envy a sink. But here I am. sigh.

I had to look carefully to make sure this guy was real! We have chameleons/lizards here in Maine, but none with horns that I know of!!! He’s gorgeous, and so is your new dyeing location. Perfect!

I agree. I think all of it is wonderful.The chameleon, the sink, the chickens and oh yes, the garden, all ready green! Over here my garden is buried under a thick blanket of snow. I’m itching to dye, too!

What an awesome sink/lizard (can’t decide which I like best)!  The quilting is finished and the binding attached. I’m loving the repetitive nature of the quilting and piecing. Something like this is not only soothing to look at, but for the maker it can be gratifying to lose one’s self in the simple unchanging pattern. In keeping with my “old things” theme here, I’m using... by robin 4 comments

It’s amazing how the quilting really gives life to the quilt! It looks so new and fresh now even though the fabrics and pattern are so obviously vintage.

I love, love, love this quilt, and the baby quilt. Your sentiments are thought provoking… I Also listen to Dylan frequently. |
