Progress has been slow on the Gone Fishing baby quilt because I have been busy with another project. Home improvement. Our Blue room has had a leaky roof for many years. This leak was coming from the stove pipe that went directly through the ceiling. I creatively constructed an indoor eave trough to direct the […]
Quick post. Gone Fishing today. Here’s what I’ve caught so far…. A couple of “Rainbow” trout… And a goldfish! Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!

To celebrate my 100th post, it is my pleasure to share with you, my latest finish! I designed this quilt using my new KYSS (Keep Your Sewing Simple) policy. Easy piecing – simple design. I’m calling it…. KYSS Me Quick! Perhaps this is the kind of quilt you would wish to give as a gift […]
