Two halves make a whole! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for the tips on magazines! And yes, while I love them, I rarely make anything from them. Not that I don't want to, but in the quilting circle of life, I do NOT need another project on my plate. I'll leave those for the newbies!

So, I downloaded the most recent Quick + Easy Quilts issue onto my iPad (through the Libby app) and browsed. OK—so I did NOT browse. If I'm going to read a magazine, I like to read it cover to cover. Don't ask me why, don't ask me to change ...

The end is near! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for the stories in the comments. I've mentioned this before, but I'm not alone in dealing with hoarding issues. I hate to say that it runs in the family since my parents both have issues. All three siblings have hoarding tendencies, and I see it in M. I found an interesting article about hoarding—check it out because it's interesting.

Hoarding is now being labeled as a branch of mental illness and is widely discussed, and some companies will come and get rid of the stuff, etc. But it's only recently in my world I ...

i need an introduction . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's been a year.

Technically, it's not even been a half year, but it still feels like a whole, full, 12-month year, and I'm ready to be through with it! Is that wrong?

My daddy passed away late in January.

He'd been in hospice care since December of 2021, so it wasn't a complete surprise, but I still wasn't ready for him to be gone. I'm glad he's no longer suffering.

He was witty and clear-minded right to the very end, making us laugh with his quick sense of humor. Such a ...

A Dad Day from Podunk Pretties

Hi Quilty Friends! Almost no quilting was done yesterday due to chores, errands and visiting with my dad.

He is 76 and takes care of himself, the house and 6 acres all on his own.

However he's not much of a cook, so I take him a good home cooked meal every now and then.

It was nice to just walk around the property and enjoy a beautiful spring day.

Once I finally got home there was still chores needing to be done so I only squared up a few more HST's before realizing how tired I was ...

Makers are going make! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

It's going to be a glorious day! I'm making great progress in Studio B in getting some of those silly little things tidied up. I'm going to be making a list of the additional samples that I want to make. Nothing that'll take a long time, but it would be nice to get some of those basics out of the way. The cutting table is not completely clean; however, it's looking great.

The cutting table in better shape

Oh, it's Monday sewing today, and I've got a pile of projects cut and ready ...
