All the squares are done, pressed and trimmed to their attended sizes: 18 squares 7.5 x 7.5 in and 18 6.5 x 6.5 in. The plan for tonight is to put them up on the design wall, arrange; maybe finish the top? That would be great…
A little set back this week. I was able to stick to the schedule until Friday, when I started feeling pain in my right leg, just above the ankle. Then both my legs started cramping. So I ran only half of the total time, the rest I walked. The same happened on Saturday. It was … More can I do a 5k run? – week 2
Yes, I am quilting again. There was almost 2 months of almost no sewing!!! I say almost, because I did finish two pillows, but there was about 4 – 5 weeks that I did not… could not sit at my desk because of the pain in my shoulder. But, I have recovered, reorganized my sewing … More spiro quilt – sneak peak
It was very hot. So we had some ice cream and played on the beach.
I don’t really go crazy about Halloween. I do it for the kids. I don’t dress up. I don’t do Halloween sewing. And I don’t keep it a secret (actually I am not crazy about holidays in general but that’s a whole different post). This year however… no I did not dress up… I did … More some halloween sewing

His illustrations seem simple but convey messages perfectly (thell me you don;t know what the image above means!). Check out the blog: each post is a little … More christoph niemann: funny ’cause it’s true
I have never been a runner. I have always thought it is hard and well, yes, boring. But I am giving it another try. Starting slow, with a beginner training program, armed with some Ipod and web tools (see the new widget on the right and below) – my goal is to be able to … More can I do 5k run? – day 1
This pillow top has been hanging on my design wall for over a month, waiting to be finished. This finally happened over the weekend: I like my quilted pillow with a border, but with this one, I felt it was too busy for a border. It is about 18″ square, envelope back in the same … More new pillows and some homemade fabric
OK, September is over. My pain has started on 09/11, early in the morning, and today was the first day that I can say I’ve done some actual work. I spent some time at the computer, I spent some time at my sewing machine – but not as much as I wanted, my shoulder/back is … More October 1 – new beginnings!
