I told you at the beginning of the month that I had mentally made the committment to two online challenges. And you saw the first one from the start to the finish of week 1. So now I will tell you about the second challenge that I am participating in. I know, the sentence […]
Now to try and learn a new skill……linking up to the challenge site. I’ll let you know how it goes! 😀 I did it! I did it! With the expert help of my good friend, Mary Huey, I got linked up. The last thing you need to know about this quilt is that the […]
So this whole thing starts with a theme. This week’s theme is “8”. And. oh, I’m sorry! I meant to identify where you can find this challenge, just in case you wanted to jump in next week. Or any week between now and the end of March (I think). If you go to PersimmonDreams.com, […]
Yes, I took a LONG sabbatical. But now it is a whole new year and I am going back to one of last year’s resolutions. To blog. And so here we go. I decided to participate in an on-line quilting challenge (Actually, I’ve mentally committed to two, but that’s another story for another day!). […]

Cutest kid ever…..except for your grands! ;-D While I was there in Blaine, we HAD to go into Anoka (a nearby town) because there is, in addition to Truffles (a bakery […]
Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I posted……I’ve been doing a bunch of cleaning. But look how clean my sewing table is!!!! I actually had no choice about the cleaning….there was absolutely no room for me to do any cutting because of all the stuff I had piled up! As part of […]
I was going to sew this week on Anne’s quilt, but I was overwhelmed by how much stuff had gotten piled on top and around that project. I have to clean my studio! Ugh! I decided that since I HATE cleaning, I would just work at it for a half hour. I found some blocks […]
I’ve been quilting, sewing, taking classes, and just generally busy these last 2 weeks, but I finally have something to show you. So at the middle of last week, this is what I had finished on the Zentangle quilt. Now it’s time to sing with me. (I know you know the song!) “One of these […]
