Hey everyone! As you can tell, we're feeling very winter like around here! I guess that's not too surprising when you live in Michigan and it's the beginning of December. Mother Nature has been all to willing to show us who has the upper hand here! But...with Christmas only 19 days away, a little snow is not unheard of. Did you catch my casual little plug about Christmas? What that means is too much to do and not nearly enough time to do it! Each year I tell myself I'm going to scale down, but how do you scale down Christmas? Do you cut family, presents or decorations? Furthermore, if I'm being honest with myself, do I really want to scale down? Isn't the crazy, pandemonium just a part of it? Well, it is in my world, so if you can't beat them, you might as well join them! Call me crazy #1!
Projects include Northern Lights Alaskan quilt, Grandmother's Flower Garden and Hawaiian wallhanging, to name just a few! Techniques include how to sew your hexagons together, how to sew divided hexagons, hexagon log cabins, honeycombs and many more! Kaye also includes her tips and guidelines for fabric preparation, cutting, pressing and anything else to making your sewing experience a little easier!

Hey everyone! I hope you're all getting into the holiday spirit. You can feel the excitement building up around my house. Between the present wrapping, cookie making and decoration hanging, anticipation is thick in the air! My daughter can barely contain herself, especially when there are gifts waiting for her under the tree! Myself, I love the fact that most of my family can still be together for at least one time out of the year. I know I'm very fortunate and that's when it really feels like the holidays to me!

Hey everyone, I hope all is well! Things are sooo looking up here weather wise! It was a gorgeous weekend! We had our first of many, family barbecues of the season. Let me tell you, nothing says great weather more than a grilled burger and a side of potato salad! That, along with a good dose of the family, made it a great time! By August I'll be ready to trade them all in, but for now, it's a great way to
spend time together!
New from Kaye's pattern line we have the Drunkard's Path! This traditional design is made even easier doing it the Kaye Wood way! Now made with appliquéd circles using the View & Do Circle Shape, there is no curved piecing! Easy enough for a beginner, fun enough for the advanced, this pattern comes with directions for all sizes from wall hangings to king size quilts! Fabric requirements for each size are also included. Click on the link for more information.
Sun and Sunflowers! 2 of my favorite things this time of year. Yeah, I know it's only mid April and I know it will still snow, but this time of year everything is so fresh, so renewed and as usual, I jumped the gun and cleaned out the pool. Of course I enlisted the willing help of my 8 year old twin granddaughters. What fun we had! Water fights, splashing, getting totally wet, then jumping on the trampoline to dry off and warm up, then back inside to a cup of hot cocoa! Shhhhhh! Don't tell their mother!

Hey everyone! It's the beginning of May and I'm starting my list. You know the one. Take out the summer clothes, pack up the winter clothes, clean out the flower beds, clean out the attic...yada, yada, yada, you get the idea. I found as I made my list, I was becoming overwhelmed with the expectations I set for myself. The more I wrote, the more distraught I got. My daughter happened along right in the middle of my despair, and stopped to see what the problem was. As I explained about my list, she put a hand up to stop me. Confused, I told her I hadn't even hit the half way mark yet. She shook her head and said, "Mom, every year I watch you go through this. You drive yourself crazy thinking you have to get all of this stuff done. Just do what I do". I watched in amazement as she took my precious list, balled it up and threw it away. "See? The world is still turning and your list isn't done. Go take a walk and enjoy the day". The walk was great and not one person mentioned my messy flower beds! You know, for eleven, she's wise beyond her years! 
Here is another great pattern, just added to the new Kaye Wood line, called Four Patch Hearts. Four patch blocks are combined with two color hearts, which are cut with the View & Do Heart Shape, and appliqued to a two color, background block. Techniques are included for turned under edges, divided and centered hearts, sashing and applique stitch. Directions are included for a small quilt all the way up to a king sized quilt! So easy to do, so fun to make, you'll be doing Four Patch Hearts for all your loved ones! DVD and VHS tapes are available of Kaye doing this pattern on Kaye's Quilting Friends. For more information on this fun project, just click the link!
bond© technique, will allow you to add realistic, three-dimensional appliqué to your quilts. This technique allows you to create dimension, without turning any edges. Comes complete with fabric
requirements, paper templates, illustrated stitch sheet, and a list of all the items you need to make your project a success. Plus, when you buy either of these patterns, you will get FREE, the Petal Play Plastic Stencil that goes hand in hand with both patterns! This stencil enables you to cut the varying sizes of feathers and scales, used for both of these patterns. Please understand, one stencil per household. If you decide to order the patterns, I suggest you consider the needles Joan Shay recommends. Each needle has 3 bayonette cutting edges and pierces the bonded fabric with ease. They are also helpful when doing the button-hole stitch on fusible applique. Joan promises, you won't be sorry you ordered them. When bonded the Joan Shay way, these quilts can go into the washer and dryer and will not lose their shape or curl. Makes a great gift! Click the link to check out these items and place orders.
Due to the overwhelming response to the Kaye Wood Star Potholder project, that appeared in the magazine, For Love of Quilting by Fons and Porter, we are offering the complete, 
display, you might have to start your own decorating business! What a gorgeous eye catcher for your daughter's office! I'm sure she loves it as much as we do. Thanks for sharing it with us!
