Taking Care of Business

I have to admit, this virus thing kind of made me feel emotionally off kilter for a couple of days.  I already work from home, so what is the big deal?

A New Cardinal Assembly Video!

I will be the first to admit that the “Scarlet Cardinal” tutorial video was awful, even though it was quite useful.  I have had comments about how useful those basic instructions were for doing the other kits.  But, wow!  It was over 40 minutes long and much of that was bumbling.  And that is NOT…

Scissors on a String

One of my problems is snippers & scissors.  I try to have one at each space, but somehow I keep moving them, resulting in it being across the room when needed.

What Little Pretties!

  Today I am going out on the road to visit some quilt shops.  I know, tough job, but this is just one of the reasons why I love my job! In anticipation of spring, I have been kitting up these little beauties from the Watercolor Blossoms kit.   I just love the colors and how…

A Very Good Day!

This morning we woke up in Bedford IN, and headed to our first quilt shop of the day, the Indiana Quilt Depot.  The shop was not open, so again, I stuck a card in the door and we were all ready to move on when we saw movement inside the shop.   I am so glad…
