My family's annual Halloween Party was Saturday night and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I know some of you enjoy seeing photos of the often clever costumes that the attendees come up with, so I thought I would share a few highlights. Eva wanted to be a doctor this year […]
Honestly, it's been so long since I worked on these blocks I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the quilt pattern when I went to type in the title of this blog post. Not Gone With the Wind, but Into the Wind. Or is it Against the Wind? Think lots of […]
In honor of my Year of Getting It Done, I put the outer border on my Steam Punk quilt. This special quilt called for a border, but a subtle one. I think the off white print fits the bill, allowing the focus to be on those glorious spinning propeller blocks. This will go out for […]
Since I haven't been doing much sewing, but feel obligated to provide some sort of blog content, I will tell you what I have been up to this past week. Mostly, I have been spending lots of time with my Eva lately. The school year where we live is winding up, and the graduation festivities are […]
This past weekend I attended a baby shower for my nephew's wife. This expectant mom received so many wonderful gifts, I know she will be perfectly set up for her new arrival. I envied her the large group of friends she has, all who seem to have children of their own. She will have an […]
Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so! The weather was spring like here, and we all gathered at my Dad's house for Easter Brunch. Gosh what a fun event that is. Everybody shares their signature brunch dish and we eat like kings. My nephew (whose wife is expecting the baby) made the salad […]
I mentioned that I have been in a bit of a slump, sewing-wise. I have just not felt inspired by much of anything lately. I have definitely been bored by a couple of the projects I have worked on recently. Log Cabins are cool, but not terribly interesting to work on, I have decided. Maybe […]
Lawrence L. ReedNovember 4, 1921-January 30, 2016 My sweet father in law passed away in his sleep this weekend. You all remember him as Grandpa Larry. We moved him up to live near us when his wife passed away nearly five years ago, and we were so fortunate to have him close by. As his […]
I thought I would share something non-sewing related with you all. We live in an area where there are not a lot of educational or cultural resources. Besides running around outside that is. My grand daughter does go to preschool, but I often wonder about the quality of the activities that are offered. Their strength […]
This is a little spring table topper for my son in law. He seems to be getting a lot of goodies from me lately, but he deserves it, so that's ok. One of his wines just won a gold medal in our local county judging and I am pretty excited for him. He is a […]
