About Me
I am a mystery writer who quilts or maybe I'm a quilter who writes mysteries. My debut book--Murder by Serpents: The Mystery Quilt was released in November 2007. The sequel will be out this coming November. I have been quilting for 21 years now and continue to be totally addicted to it. So many quilts, so little time. I enjoy hand quilting and find it relaxes me although I am slow. My sewing machine and I have a "non-compete" clause so it does not do the quilting.

Cinderella's all scrubbed out

Hi all, Cinderella is back from Seattle. No time for quilt shops. I cleaned #1 son's new condo. Then helped with the move, then cleaned the old apartment. I saw more cars in one day there than are in my whole state. Jeepers! But, we had some laughs and got it all done.

New applique pattern was here waiting for me. LOL Like I have time to deal with that right now. I have to clean MY house for Thanksgiving.

Every have some fun today!

Off to Seattle--question for locals

Hi all, I'm leaving for Seattle first thing in the morning to "help" with son's move. My job is paint if needed and clean--I can't wait. I am familiar with "Northwest quilts" or something similar over in Bellevue. Since "In the Beginning" stopped selling retail--what other quilt shops might I visit (if Cinderella gets her scrubbing done)?

Riley has found another five year quilt for me to work on--lot's and lot's of applique. When I told my best friend what was happening--she almost hurt herself… Continue

Sunshine to snow in 3 hours

I feel like I should be sending out Christmas greetings today. It suddenly looks like the inside of a snow globe outside. When I went to the library at noon, the sun was shining, the grass still looked green--now snow like crazy.

The upcoming weeks will be busy, busy. I am driving tomorrow to Casper, stopping to visit bookstores and quilt shops. Then on to Douglas on Saturday morning for a book signing. Back up the state to visit more shops and into Montana to check on mom.

Tuesday I fly to Se… Continue

Barbara I have a question for you- I was on a Grandparent's site called Grandparents.com/kids and when I was going though the site checking out a number of books for kids, I also saw an author by the name of Barbara Graham has has written several books for kids and adults about several different topics. Are you that Barbara Graham?

SIGH! I can see that you need to be ed-GE-cated on these things?

The old pirates(sailors if you prefer to call them such, Mate) begun doing the ships in a bottle ONLY after a trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon & watching the diabolical Jivaro Indians do their magic on a few unsuspecting travelers' heads. You know, shrink art. :)

Probabaly not on the apple-kayeing a block right now! I will probably not even begin this until after Thanksgiving. I hafta finish sticking & stabbing (aka quilting) Sunbonnet Sue.

WHUT? Reduce the "Ladies" by 1/3? :O GASP!!

I think it is called Piracy to run around sinking ships & against Maritime Law perhaps?

Miz Barbara,
We seem to be a rarity in that we are attempting the "Ladies" apple-kaye or folks are not sharing px. I have used every search engine I know to see & there are not that many out there.
I suppose that makes us gutsy or perhaps more correctly, just plain NUTZ? :)

How did your Jane Doe book signing go? Good I hope?

I received my "Ladies" pattern. Yunk Yunk Yunk I have mine first!!
Came UPS, figured it would come USPS.
Holy Kamoly! I likely do NOT have the skills for this? :O

Hi Barbara, I just wanted to stop in and thank you for such nice things you said in your post to us. Jeff is living life and as his mom I cannot help be very excited... and touched to see him doing what we thought he never would. He is my baby! lol
Thank you again, Hugs Morgan

I loved your reply on machine quilting and how you love the process of hand quilting. I feel pretty much the same way, I have seen some beautiful machine quilted quilts, but I know I don't have the patience to do it. It seems so hard, so I go back to hand quilting.
