Martelli – A Product Review
Blog-tember Sunday, Sept. 25: Review something! A place, a book, a service, a product. Anything at all! A few years ago, while taking a class given by Priscilla Bianchi at a major quilt show, I realized I forgot my cutting mat. I went out to the show floor to shop for a mat. I couldn’t […]
Spread Niceness
Blog-tember Tuesday, Sept. 20: Something you wish more people knew or believed. It’s not difficult to be nice. Something as simple as holding a door can make someone’s day.

Favorite Posts So Far

Switched
Blog-tember Tuesday, Sept. 13: If you could switch lives with someone for a day, who would it be? Why? I really needed to think about this. I love my life and what I do. The only person I could think of that I would love to switch with is a fabric purchaser for a large […]
A Day in the Life
Blog-tember Saturday, Sept. 10: A day in your life! Take us through it with you by sharing a photo each hour of the day. This was a tough one for me. The thought of taking a picture every hour just didn’t work for me. Keeping track of time is not my strong suit. I’m not […]
