Waiting...

Just finished teaching at the Quilting in the Desert Conference. Now to sit, stitch. and relax a bit. Fortunately these little penny-coaster are the perfect project to work on while I wait for my ride home

Now is the Time!

Hello dear family & friends,
I have been watching the news today....it looks cold where you are! Time for a trip to Tucson, don'tcha think?http://www.visittucson.org/

Penny-Rug Coaster Pattern!

Feel free to make it any size you would like!

Pretty As A Penny-Rug!

Went into my stash of beautiful wool scraps and just started cutting quarter size circles and ‘penny’ size circle…140 in all! Then I just started arranging them together….oh these colors make me happy!

It's Been A While!

Hello, my friends! My how time has flown! It has been 19 months since I last posted to my blog. But, I've been a little busy. I hope to post more often, now that I don't have a million irons in the fire....only a couple of dozen! Slowly but surely, I am reclaiming the Joy that is my life! I am starting a new little project...so I'll be posting on that, and maybe you can join me! Blessings on your week!

Penny Rug Wool

This is my color palette for my penny rug coasters….ooohhh Now to cut out all those little circles…I’ll let you know how it goes! 

Yellow means "Hang On"!

I started learning how to drive long before I ever got behind the wheel. My mom always had us look ahead for problems. To this day, I believe that was the best thing she taught me about driving. My first time actually driving was when I was 9 or 10 years old. My Grandpa Frank had me drive up Campbell Avenue from River Road, all the way to the top, in his brand-new 1968 Gold Cadillac. I was a lucky girl!!

So, when my kids were young, I taught them to drive the same way my Mom taught me.

We started with the traffic lights: Green means GO. Red means STOP. And Yellow means "HANG ON!" 

Today, when I was dying my wool with the yellow Cushings Dye, I looked into that pot of dye and hot wool, and remembered those times with my Mom and Grandpa, and then with my own kids.
All of this is to say; when you look at these colors; Yellow means "HANG ON!"
