Yearly Post!

 Seems like me making a bit of a catchup post once a year is becoming a thing. 

Shortly after my last posting on here (literally the next day) we decided to start a kitchen remodel.  What this means is my sewing/back/addition room became storage for all of the things.  Extraneous kitchen things, building materials who knows what all else.  

Needless to say we got the kitchen back to being able to cook and do dishes and then it has sat, waiting. So basically I have not been able to sew since this time last year.  Not great for my mental health but at least I have a slightly better kitchen.  I think we might actually get it done this year, at any rate I better get my sewing room back this summer sometime.

Work has been good, still full time at home with no going back to the office in sight (except once or twice a year for "team building" which is basically potluck and all day jibber jabber meetings).  That works fine for me.  I don't like the commute or the city, at all. 

That is about all right now I guess.  Once  I actually have progress on some sort of sewing I'll make a report. 

I hope anyone who sees this has a great summer.

Slllllooooowwwwww Project.

It's me again... 

Three months later here is the grandchild's thingy.. it is almost large twin sized and I'm hoping to get the top ready by the end of this weekend.

The back is also going to be pieced but large pieces so it should go quick.


I have some Indian Elephant fabric that I'm using for top and bottom borders then another thin black border then another of the tan borders.  That should put me at about the right size.

After this one is on the quilter my daughter is going to work on finishing her quilt top while I get this one quilted.  I have so many more projects almost done and half done.  I just need time to stop moving so fast!

Does Anyone Still Read This?

 Greetings and Salutations!

Yes, it is me, that quazyquilter person.

So I am thinking about starting to blog again since I have actually decided to make time to be creative again.  It is strange how life can grab you and suck all of your energy isn't it?

I have been finding time to get into the sewing "area" and get a bit of organization done and a quilt going for Korben's 8 year quilt (a little late).  He wanted a hedgehog sitting on a couch playing a video game..... uh?  I was willing to do it but then he asked if I had started it yet the last time we visited via Zoom and I told him that designing the pattern was taking me a long time.  He said "Gramma, if that is to hard how about an elephant quilt?" 

Well, I just happened to have a gorgeous elephant panel so I took a picture and texted it to my son who showed it to shorty (who isn't really that short anymore) who said "Cool!"

Hence I am working exclusively on bordering the Elephant panel now.  Pictures will be forthcoming if I look at my blog hits and see that anyone actually read this.  If no one does then I might or might not try to get back into this blog thing.  

Anywho, that is all from here for now.

Time Keeps on Tickin' Tickin' Tickin' ..

 .... into the future..... 

I am showing my age I guess. 😂

So it has been at least a year and half since my last post.  I would like to say it is because my life is busy and exciting, but that would not be true.  

I am now full time work from home, even after this pandemic is over that will be me unless there is a meeting in office that they MAKE me go in for.

I am really happy that is the case.  I have gained back two and half hours each day of commute time.  You would think I have turned that into sewing time.... not really.  I do sew now and then.  Still working on quilts here and there but mostly now I am sewing masks for anyone who I know who needs them.

I have taken up the sourdough craze.  I have done sourdough at various times over the years, this time I have been at it since this whole thing started in March.  I make a simple country sourdough loaf, I make sourdough cinnamon rolls, sourdough soft pretzels, jalapeño cheddar bread and pancakes.  Hubby makes these awesome sourdough waffles like no waffle I've ever had.  SO GOOD!

Here are some things I've made in the last however many months.

Grandson's Spidey quilt.


Chris from work - Retirement quilt.


My youngest son's, fiancé's snuggle quilt. 


That's it from here for now.  I'm going to try and be better about this, I really am. I think. Maybe.
