Just a quick post to say that I’ll be taking a break from the blog through the end of the year. I’ll be back in January with details about the Pantone Challenge and maybe a few more finishes! In the meantime, Palette Builder, Color Play, Equal, and the electronics […]

Sorry this post is a little later than usual! California (and Oregon and Washington) were all hit by a pretty bad storm yesterday, and I spent a lot of my day dealing with the ramifications. The water on our street was up to my knees, and even though our yard […]
I’ve been doing a lot of programming lately. Programming is weird. With a quilt, once the binding is on, you know it’s done. Well, I hear stories of people who go back and add quilting or applique or whatever, but for me, once the binding is on, the quilt’s done and […]

I always get excited around this time of year because all the color of the year stuff starts to get announced! While Pantone is still holding their color of the year under wraps, the paint companies have already released their winners. Sherwin-Williams announced that their Color of the Year for […]
It’s been quite a week around here. We have a very sick kitty that is keeping us on our toes and really taking it out of me emotionally. I’m not sure how much longer he’s going to be with us, but we’re trying to enjoy every day we have with […]
