Pot Roast and Cherry Pie We had one of those lazy Sundays that hardly ever seem to roll around. Usually I am either packing up the car for a two and half hour drive to see my father, or scheduled to work all day at the shop. This weekend we were all still recovering from […]
No quilt sewing going on, and that is likely to be the case for awhile, so my posting schedule may be affected accordingly. I have been trying to get caught up on some hand sewing, namely bindings. So happy to get the two little Halloween table toppers out at the eleventh hour! I have also […]
My family Halloween party was last weekend, and as usual, there were some pretty great costumes. A Geisha, Medusa, a Flapper, a Professor, a Referee, Ziggy Stardust, an African Potentate, an owl, and entire group who came to the party as The Farmers Wife and the Three Blind Mice. It was fun. My sisters and […]
Woo hoo! I made my own little Sew Together Bag! This is just the cutest little thing, and so very useful. I know you all will want to make one too. It isn't a project for beginners, but if you are confident, and follow allong a couple of tutorials, read carefully and are patient with […]
Nothing sewing related this week, but I do want to share with you one of my favorite fall dinners. The weather is finally starting to feel nippy and I have regretted not grabbing a sweater or jacket once I have dashed out the door on one errand or another. These two dishes, plus a veggie […]

While I was playing with different applique methods, I saw this template set on the Baycreek Quilting Templates website. They […]

Look! It's a Pumpkin Patch! They had scary scarecrows. And witches and ghosts and all sorts of Halloween things. Corn maze. We got lost. Nana was sure we weren't ever going to find our way out, but we did. Then I picked out a green pumpkin. And a white pumpkin… In fact, we […]
I am so interested in doing applique these days. I have got to get my Dresden Plate project finished. I only have two more plates to do and the blocks will be done. There is a great method for turning perfect circle edges that I have been using. I think I have blogged about it […]
