{ruffles}

after a week of the sickies for both ev and i...

& a confirmed ear infection (today), some antibiotics, a lot of rest + quite a bit of sesame street viewing...

we are finally feeling better.

yay!!!!

now time to get back to blogging ;)

i'm hosting the Studio Calico blog with the fabulous Stephanie Wheeler this week...

Just posted the challenge of the week here - would love to see some of my blog readers just jump in & play along!

here's my version of "ruffles" (the challenge):

...so fun (& convenient) to just grab scraps from a current quilting project and throw them on a paper project - i love mixing & matching!

:)

PS - as a sidenote, (& bc i've already gotten some email concern about this) the Fiskars Crafts website is working on moving their current site's content to their new and improved website.  For the next month or so, many of my projects/tutorials that are linked in past blog posts (and on my sidebar) may be inaccesible until they are switched to the new site and I relink them.  If i can find the original instructions (which is somewhat doubtful?!) i will try to update the tutorial posts here...  :)

My daughter and I are battling the sickies too. She has her first ear infection and she is nearly 5 years old. Didn't even complain of any pain. Glad your on the mend, but make sure to rest up! ;)

Hey Susan, I was wondering if you could post the directions for the "How to quilt: The basics"? I'm right in the middle of making it and didn't print off the directions! Thanks so much!
