I’m not going to lie. For the life of me, I cannot come up with something worthy of inclusion as my fifth item here. But I am really excited about the other four and it’s been a minute since I’ve...Read More

I thought I’d do a little week in review… John made two requests for this week’s menu, both of which are always crowd pleasers. The first is walking tacos… And the second is…

Since the quarterly reveal date for our Four-In-Art is coming up in a couple of days, I thought it was high time to sit down and think about this new overall theme of Urban, and the specific quarterly theme of Maps.While we love the old maps, shown above on the front page of our family's…

This is a short post to archive some thinking I did on the subway home from work today. I had a Geometry class today and it was clear to me that their understanding of radicals was ... not so good. And I don't think it is their fault. I remember teaching Algebra II years ago…
New personal work from Kaja, inspired by spring and the changing seasons!
Blooming Dresden Table Mat I'm not the biggest fan of the Dresden plate. I don't dislike it but it isn't a favorite design. However, I really like playing with the Dresden ruler wedge lately. For this piece I traced the 8" ruler wedge. Shrank the tracing with my printer to 3 different sizes plus a partial wedge. I fused the pieces to the background and stitched them down with a raw edge applique technique. Easy peasy! The binding is not bias, it's straight grain. I don't like doing bias if I don't have to. This piece is another make with this fabric collection for a personal challenge. Other pieces can be seen in my flickr photostream here. Confession: One fabric piece is not part of this fabric collection but I didn't want to keep repeating too many of the prints to make enough wedges so I just added one more print to the collection. Is that cheating? Maybe I can't count it in that challenge. I've made a couple of table mats for my daughter and she said she'd like to have "some" more. I'll have to send this to her eventually, but right now I just can't part with it. I like it and want to enjoy it for awhile before I package it up and send it off. Now I can get back to work on my "Man Quilt" that I started back in January. It's ready to quilt...I'm always so excited when a quilt is ready to be quilted. See ya ~ Annie

Here is a quote that I think applies to our older machines...... I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. Marilyn…
