The life of a small time machine quilter. I also finished embroidering the Illinois block.

A view into the life of a homeschooling mom to 5. Sunday, December 31, 2017. Wishing you sunshine and happiness in the new year! Thursday, October 01, 2015. There are few things more relaxing to me than the sound of the ocean. Monday, August 03, 2015. The prospect of having little free time for the next year has me trying to get through a mile.

I am a Mom who paints folk art and loves to sew and quilt. Married for 16 years to a funny, hard working handsome man. Monday, June 29, 2009. This beautiful pin cushion from Martine. From the Netherlands arrived the other day. I love it! Thank you so much Martine. Friday, June 19, 2009. Such a talented lady with so much inspiration. I have been enjoying her.

Thursday, January 5, 2012. A top finished, and a UFO complete! I am so excited to be able to post some progress so soon. I finished the top from the Planet Patchwork mystery of New Years day. This top is currently hanging over. The crab apple quilt that has been on my design wall forever. I am not really crazy about the outer border, but since I cut it during the prep-work for the mystery, I decided to use it and save the money a new choice would cost.

Quilting is the stuff of life! Tuesday, February 5, 2008. We had a great guild meeting last night. A few folks from the local doll guild showed up to help a member demonstrate those lovely bra purses that are cropping up to help raise money for breast cancer awareness. For more information, go here.

Sunday, March 6, 2011. A common ailment afflicting many creative-types resulting in many partially completed projects with nary a DONE in sight. Not to be confused with its cousins Finishitupitis and Startitis. A strange compulsion to finish partially completed projects. This is quite a rare ailment in the crafting world. If you ever catch this, enjoy it as long as you can.

Art, Quilts and Other Adventures. February 26, 2010 by Suzanne. I am having trouble with the RSS feed on my blog, and am temporarily redirecting the feed back here to my old blog. And I really have been updating it there, so please go check it out, and I promise to switch my feed back to that location ASAP. February 6, 2009 by Suzanne.

Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in the rising every time we fall. Now I can sit back and enjoy my birthday tomorrow, Christmas, my 46th wedding anniversary on New Years Eve and New Years Day. Wishing all of you the happiest of seasons and good wishes.
