I've been blessed with pretty good eyesight during my life. I need readers to magnify the print when I am reading, but my distance vision has always been all right. In the past few years, I have experienced a gradual worsening of my vision. I walk three or four days a week with a friend. […]
As you know, if you regularly read this blog, I have been itching to start a new project. Now that I have nearly finished a long running string quilt project, I am ready to move on. I have something all cut out and ready to dive into, but as often happens, I got sidetracked. It […]
Just in time for Easter! My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table. I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come. My dining table did not see any Easter action this year. We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of […]
Hope you all had a great weekend! We launched our Christmas shopping and got a fair amount accomplished. No waiting until the last minute this year. I started a new project on the Featherweight, and I have really been enjoying getting reacquainted with that little machine. There are a few tips that I am […]
I have had a fairly stressful couple of months, and unfortunately have turned to food to ease my nerves. Bad idea. I have put on a few pounds and am not too happy with myself. For some reason I got the notion that ice cream should play a part in my daily food consumption, which […]
Why oh why have I left things so late? What was I thinking? It is November and my son in law is asking me what holiday items I am going to sell in his shop during November and December. Can I bring a few things in for next weekend? Good question. Oh dear oh dear […]

You offered some great suggestions on how to solve my problem or at least salvage the wrong sized triangle units. Thanks so much for that! I have […]
I just had to cut out a background square and make a center circle to be appliqued to one of my Dresden Plate blocks. Sure, I know, I have only made three out of the twelve "plates" so far, but I love to have a finished Inspiration Block to cheer me on while I complete […]
Honestly, I cannot keep track of what week this is for Farmer's Wife block posts. I have decided to just go ahead and post my progress whenever I have something to show for it. Somehow I managed to finish seven blocks this week. My sister Andrea has been to my house for a visit and […]
My favorite Farmer's Wife block so far! "Economy". Love it. I call it Square in a Sqaure, but am not about to argue with a farmer's wife. I continue to stitch away at these fun little blocks. Just can't seem to stop! I have around 18 finished now (not including the dozen or so I […]
