Do-It-Yourself Döners for Dinner (Perfect for Summer Nights) Ok, ok...I KNOW these are NOT traditional döners...or gyros...or shawarmas but I live in the southwest and don't have easy access to a vertical spit rotating stacks of savory chicken, lamb, pork, or beef. (Although....I did just find a place in Southern Utah that has some of the tastiest hummus and kalamakia that I have had in a long time!) So let me explain. I was first introduced to döners a few years back. We were ... View the Post
The Miracle of Mediocrity
The Miracle of Mediocrity This spring we had a lot happening. My oldest daughter was graduating from high school, we had family funerals out of state and close to home, I was coaching my youngest daughters volleyball team, I was sewing up quilts for several different families who suffered losses, I was still teaching full time at our local junior high (with classes filled beyond capacity), I was attending all the sporting and end of year events for my girls....oh and then....in the ...

Feed the Birds…Tuppence a Bag
Feed the Birds...Tuppence a Bag Awhile back I had the opportunity to take my family on a summer adventure of a lifetime that included a brief stay in London!!!

Another Log Cabin Quilt
I have another Log Cabin Quilt to share....it isn't the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I love Log Cabin Quilt Blocks. I love them so much we recorded an entire podcast about them.

There's just something about that golden block in the center that grows and spreads as the ... View the Post
Scrappy 25 Squares Quilt Block Instructions
Scrappy 25 Squares Quilt Block Instructions I'm always thinking about how to use my scraps...and I may or may not be crazy about how I store them. And while my scrap hoarding is a subject for a different time, today I get to share how I make the scrappy 25 square block that I've been stitching up to make a small army of bonus quilts. All the fabric used in this quilt (that I also shared in my previous post) came from my scrap bin...the squares, the border, the binding EVERYTHING ... View the Post
Scrappy Block Bonus Quilt
Scrappy Block Bonus Quilt I have piles of scraps. Bins of scraps. Buckets of scraps. So many scraps that even my scraps have scraps! And because I'm always working on new projects the scraps just keep piling up. So for the past two years I always have a scrap project going alongside my new works in progress. And, sewing up mismatched blocks and turning them into quilts is one of my favorite scrap projects. Next to my sewing machine I have a bin full of scraps ... View the Post
