HI, QWU Friends, last Thurdsay I had what in medical terms it s Anterior Cervical Fusion, but if I understand it correctly, I had blown my C4 and C5 disc's in my neck, they took them out cleaned around in there, filed down spurs in there and what ever else needed to. I stayed overnight and DH brought me home this morningl.
The weeks leading up to this surgery were rough ones because, I wanted to get better with pt. The old disc's just ain't what they used to be!!!! Well they are…

It sure has been a long time since I got on here and posted anything. Joe and I have finally found some time to work on my cabin. It has all of the wiring run for 20 outlets inside, 12 lights inside, 2 grounded outlets outside, and 2 spotlights in front and back outside. All of the insulation is in, and the vapor barrier is up. The ceilings are up and primed, and attic flooring is in. We have the paneling bought(inexpensive to be painted once it is up) and lighting fixtures. We have…

Over a year ago I purchased ten bags of fabric from the family of a friend who had passed away. I found these blocks already pieced. Not knowing what her plan was for them, and only having sixteen blocks, this is what I came up with. I thought it came out…

My older son lives in Seattle. Memorial Day weekend the rest of the family (there's not many of us) convened in the city. Instead of hotel rooms we rented a two bedroom condo for my husband and me and younger son and his wife and children. Had a ball! We got to sightsee some--the zoo and aquarium were favorites with the 3 year old. Play with the baby. Laughed and ate tons of seafood.
Now back to real life.

I have long admired quilts from the Provence region of France called boutis. After reviewing The Art of Boutis by Kumiko Nakayama-Geraerts, I really want to do learn this style of handwork! The author makes this technique accessible with clear…

Finally more than 2 hrs of above 75 degrees! Something about just sitting in the sun for awhile can brighten your mood. I've been in a quilting funk lately. I've lost my mojo. It happens to me when it gets warm out, all I want to do is be outside! I haven't lost my LA quilting mojo thank goodness. I've been a busy lil' bee lately. One of the best things about my job is the variety of quilts I get. I love the design process of what I will do with a quilt. Putting this there and that…

I am finishing another top today. It will be number 43 in the collection. I pulled out 29 last week and made pictures to show a friend who wanted to buy one. She chose the one I did not have a backing for, so I am waiting on the mail to deliver today. While I was waiting I decided to finish one I started last year. It is almost complete, just a matter of sewing the rows together. This will be seven I have added to the collection this year. I hand quilt so it takes a lot longer to quilt…

Hi – I’m Rebecca and I’m a long time lurker, first time blogger. I thought it was about time I started to really participate in this community of quilters. This is my first post, and I hope I can add one each week.
Several years ago one of the groups here at Quilt with us (I think it was Gifty Galore Quilt Along, but I'm not positive) started a project making fabric calendars with a block of the month component. I thought it was a great idea and would make a perfect Christmas…

Today, a heroic veteran who served in Korea and in Germany in WWII, lost a long hard battle with Alzheimers. He went on his terms, in his sleep, in his own home. My dad was 85 and always had a zest for life. He was devastated when his only sister passed quickly away from this horrid disease that robs memories of family and loved ones from those who are afflicted with it. Little did he know that he himself would fight the same monster.
He battled for years, was in and out of hospital…

I spent my weekend in search of material that I might use on the quilt top that I decided would be my first victim for my longarm. I had some flannel in white and decided that it would work for me. Washed and dried measured, stitched and finally loaded onto the table. With everything in place I got the first line of stitching that holds the top to the backing done and decided that sence this is a busy little quilt that I would start out with some feathers. Everything started out well…

Sorry it's been awhile. Spring has arrived and that means quilting gets sidelined until the planting is done and lawn mowed a couple times. I'm also on the job hunt. Anyway the planting is done, school's out and resumes submitted for awhile. Looks like everyone is busy too. Here's where I'm at now. I got the first round done at least.…

Won't our Miss Bailey look adorable in this one? Just finished it today. Our plan is to hand deliver it when they come up to Oregon in early July. Perhaps she needs a little bag to go with it?…

We are about 20 miles from where President Obama landed yesterday to visit Cooperstown. Our son is the coach for varsity lacrosse and we were at a sectional playoff game. They were announcing since, they had played the National Anthem for the first game, that it wouldn't be played again and the game could start. About that time, the escort plane flew over...you can definitely tell that these are not your usual planes. A few seconds later Air Force One flew over...they decided, it would be…
