  • Care Filled Highways…

    Wondering where I was? It’s been a tough week in Quiltopia! One night when I came down from my lair, Mr. SFO took one look at my face and said, “Is everything okay?” I replied, “It’s just been a tough… Continue reading

  • Sitting Pretty!

    I’m a day late this week, but not a dollar short– I waited to show you my “Pumpkin Sitting” finish! This was a Fat Quarter Shop Spook Box– I’ve sworn off quilty boxes this year, but once I saw the… Continue reading

  • Banner Week!

    I really made it happen last week– I had about six days with no interruptions– Mr. SFO headed out to San Diego for the week. I could have accompanied him, but, been there done that, I’d rather sew! Let’s jump… Continue reading

  • Tough Week.

    I had to unplug last week; I’m sure you understand. I almost decided to take a week off the blog, but after spending some time in the Meadow, digging in the dirt and talking to chickens, I thought you might… Continue reading

    Tough Week.
  • A Star is Born!

    Carefree Highways is a pieced top! After all of the moaning last time (thank you for your patience), I had a really wonderful week! Both top and bottom ribbons were appliqued onto the borders, and all four borders got sewn… Continue reading

  • Yes, we can! (get sick of sewing)

    It’s been a much quieter week here on the Meadow, thank goodness! August has passed us by and it’s now fall. We have delicious temperatures in the mid 70s for the next two weeks– but still not a lot of… Continue reading

  • Meet Me at the Fair!

    Just when things seemed desperate, the trials of August have let up a bit. We may have a happy ending after all. Lots of progress on Carefree Highways this week, and I am going to need every minute to finish… Continue reading
