Keeping Me in Stitches: November 2012
http://keepingmeinstitchestqp.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Keeping Me in Stitches. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Big Horn Sheep Festival. Courtesy of the Colorado Department of Wildlife. This Saturday, November 10, 2012, is the day for Georgetown's Bighorn Sheep Festival and it is no wonder that the sheep like to come down from the mountains and head toward town with all of the activities planned for the day. Of course, there is also the fact that it's mating season and stepping out to town for a date is a time-honored tradition in so many cultures. I’ve re...

Keeping Me in Stitches: Made in America?
http://keepingmeinstitchestqp.blogspot.com/2014/02/made-in-america.html
Keeping Me in Stitches. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Courtesy of www.westfield.ma.edu. Today, I try to carry American made products in the shop whenever I can, but the majority of fabric is produced overseas and then imported. I have better luck with locally and American produced yarn and also carry a line of knitting needles and crochet hooks, Brittany Birch. That are a totally American production. But again, some of the yarn and notions I carry are produced overseas. Courtesy of Brittany Birch Co. IR...

Keeping Me in Stitches: January 2013
http://keepingmeinstitchestqp.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Keeping Me in Stitches. Monday, January 21, 2013. Sandi Asche and Vicki Dietz at The Dusty Rose Tea Room. I've shied away from knitting socks for years, convincing myself that it's a tremendous amount of work with pretty fine yarn, on very small needles (actually, I've sometimes had larger toothpicks in my burger when dining out! All for something that either gets lost in the laundry or eventually sports a hole at some strategic spot. But, after a year and a half at The Quilted Purl. February 20, 27 and ...

Keeping Me in Stitches: Preserving the Past (and a few strawberries)
http://keepingmeinstitchestqp.blogspot.com/2013/07/preserving-past-and-few-strawberries.html
Keeping Me in Stitches. Saturday, July 20, 2013. Preserving the Past (and a few strawberries). A few days ago, I put up a double batch of strawberry-pineapple jam while my mind took a walk down memory lane. My first memory of making jam goes back to when I was a very young girl, perhaps only five or six years old. The setting was my grandmother's kitchen and the cast of characters included Memere (my grandmother), my mom, my aunts Jeannette and Theresa, and myself. July 20, 2013 at 3:41 PM. We are doing ...

Keeping Me in Stitches: December 2012
http://keepingmeinstitchestqp.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Keeping Me in Stitches. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! My little shoveler, Austin, peeking in with delight! I hope everyone had a holiday filled with love, family, and peace. With the help of modern technology, I was able to follow family from one side of the country to the other, from Massachusetts to Alaska. Close proximity to my grandchildren made it possible to see the joy of innocence on these two faces, the best gift of all. Moda The Cutting Table. In Australia,...
