Didn't we all dream as little girls of becoming a princess? I guess for Jenna, it means you have to dress the part too....

February 2024 - Fun Finishes

Already two months down in this new year, it seems to be going quickly! I had a good month with a work trip to San Diego, a visit from my cousin and her family and lots of crafty time. San Diego skyline at night San Diego Gaslamp Quarter I finished my first quilt for the year, this one was a UFO from 2021 that I made at a Shipshewana retreat. I got the pattern and fabric from Pumpkinvine Quilting, which used to be in Middlebury, IN - sadly closed now. I purchased the Sew Kind of Wonderful quilting ruler last year and this is the second quilt I've done with it. I quilted a combination of ruler work and freehand quilting and had a heck of a time with thread breaks. I think that it is time for my machine to have a spa day after quilting 170 quilts! I had the machine serviced once since I got it in 2011, so it's probably time. I am so glad to have this one bound and finished and ready to gift. First quilt project and first completed quilt UFO for the year! Urban Chained qu...

July 2024 - Summer Vacation and Squeaking in a finish

July was a great summer month - it started with a trip to Michigan to visit one of my best friends. We hadn't been to her cottage on Houghton Lake in two years and it was really nice to go back. We spent a day in Traverse City enjoying a good meal and some great views of Grand Traverse Bay. My daughter has a friend working near there, so we picked her up for the day and both sets of friends had a good time together. Morning views from the patio in Houghton Lake Grand Traverse Bay We came home, made a quick turnaround and headed to Massachusetts for our family vacation. We visited historic sights in Boston, Lexington & Concord, Salem, and Lowell and then headed to Newburyport and Plum Island for a few days near the ocean. I really enjoyed the history of the area. It was really warm and humid while we were there, so I also enjoyed some time indoors stitching :) The Old North Church, famous for "One if by Land, Two if by Sea," Boston The House of Seven Gables, Salem Ge...

Mid-year book review

For the last several years, I've kept track of the books I read and made a post about them in hopes of helping others find a few books to read. I've really enjoyed hearing about good books from others and always enjoy when Nicole does her book reviews - a lot of the books I read come from her suggestions. (P.S. If you're a quilter and not reading her blog, you're missing out - she works on some really beautiful quilts!) Last year, I struggled a bit with my reading as I didn't love many of the books I read. For this year, I went back to my list of "books to read" and suggestions from others. Here's the list of books that I finished through June. 1. The Five Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand - my cousin loaned me this book and it was a good read. It's the story of a woman who's just lost her husband and decides to bring together five friends - one from each decade - to help celebrate her 50th birthday and reconnect. The friends all have interest...
