Good morning,
As I sit here and type on this very chilly morning (-34) wondering what is next in the little fabric studio. This has been a wonderful journey as I enter into my third year. What was always a dream is now a reality and my love of fabric. There is always so many choices and projects you want to do.... now to just figure out how to add more hours to the day...
Stay warm and stay well!
Happy quilting ☺
As we move into October, I find myself wanting to stay inside more where it is warm and cozy, doing the things many of us enjoy. Quilting being at the top of the list, looking forward to getting lost in my studio creating new projects and completing a few UFO's. Looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend when all of the boys will be home along with my brother and his family. This family tradition is one of my favorite annual gatherings. Lots of great company and food, the memories to last a lifetime.
The changing colors of the season are so beautiful and comforting as we spend more time indoors baking, making soup and so on. Fall is my favorite season.
Remember to smile - It looks good on YOU!
Until next time... KM
Fall is my favorite time of year. The cool mornings, warmer days and cool evenings. I find this is the time of year to start planning all the projects I would like to get done while staying warm through to spring.
Quilting - quilting is at the top of the list! Looking forward to hibernating in a condo for a WEEK with my best quilting buddy and doing what we love quilting, eating and more quilting and laughing. To me this is true bliss.
I have now owned QuiltBitz over six months, and am still navigating my way through small business ownership. I am so glad that I took this leap of faith. Having my own quilt shop is something I have always wanted to do. Choosing and collecting fabric is totally different than quilting. QuiltBitz has been lots of fun and I look forward to the months, years down the road to see where the journey will take me.
One other thing I am looking forward to navigating through is blogging and sharing through blogging. It is my goal to share quilting projects, pictures, quotes and recipes. I do hope you will follow along this new journey with me.
Until next time...🌻
Here we are almost through another month and it is just starting to feel like summer is upon us. The past few months have had some trying times for me with my ankle. I broke it back in February and it seems to be a long journey. I am still not driving and to say it has slowed be down is an under statement. Anyways onward and upward as they say.
I have been enjoying my side gig, my online quilt studio. Many new things to grasp and who would have thought buying fabric would be tough? So many choices and so little time. I was asked the other day if I sold time as well, this made me giggle because there is so much truth to that. We love fabric and just want it all. I call it my retirement fund, when we will have that so called time.
As we move through this next season I am making sure that I do take the time to do the things that make my heart happy. The laundry can wait, the dusting can wait - life is far to short to sweat the small stuff.
Anyways enjoy this warm sunny Sunday!

Well here we are moving right along through 2022. The past couple years have been a time we all will never forget. Did you ever think the world would come to a complete halt and we would learn to stay home? I think in many ways it made us slow down and really look within and get back to the basics. I have three boys and they have learned to graduate from high school without a prom, do studies from university and college online. I have one son graduated from high school not in the same way his older two brothers did and one graduated from college like it was just another day. Last month my oldest son graduated from university and we had the honor to watch him walk across the stage. This was the most wonderful feeling, is what we know as normal slowly returning. I do think that we have all learned many things these past couple years and that is to adapt, be kind and open minded. At the beginning of this year in February I decided to follow a dream and have my own quilt shoppe, I purchased QuiltBitz. I am enjoying this new journey and all that it brings. After all now I have a reason to build a stash.... As I sit and type this blog another new thing, I find myself reflecting and realizing that if you want something or would like to do something do it, don't wait.... "Take the Trip - Buy the Shoes - Eat the Cake" We all know that things can change just like that. Have a beautiful day!

I encourage everyone to check out Edyta's website, blog and YouTube Channel to see the wonderful creativity of this quilter. The detail that she uses in some of her creations is mind-boggling, but then again, she does have simple, very striking patterns as well. Some are free (type free in the search bar) and many others are located in her shop. I own a number of Edyta's books and I would love to make each and every quilt. Enjoy!
