This is my brother-in-law Greg opening the quilt I gave him for Christmas. There was a bit of a delay after the actual holiday until the family could get together for a gift exchange. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there because I can't leave my husband for very long just yet. I had given the quilt […]
Some of you know this about me, but if you are new here, you may not know that I really do not enjoy sewing bindings on my quilts by hand. I know many of you will tell me how much you love to sit in front of tv in the evening and happily stitch away. […]
I finished the first Neutral Granny block and am quite pleased with how it turned out. When I purchased these fabrics from the 3 Sisters Cascade collection, I had in mind to make an entire quilt with it. The idea of a neutral table runner is really appealing to me, however. Can't you imagine it […]
Blueberry Delight is back from the quilter and I love how it works on my January tablescape. I love to have some blue and white in my decor during the period after Christmas. I enjoy the crisp coolness of that palette after the hectic red and green of the holidays. This pattern is free from […]
I bought this lap desk for my husband, thinking he could use it to rest his laptop when he was sitting in his chair, which was most of the time. He hasn't used it once, but it works great for me as a reading accessory. It is so nice to rest my book on it […]
It was a beautiful clear crisp day in my neighborhood yesterday. I got started with my plans to sew every morning by starching the fabrics for my sister's Neutral Granny Square runner. It may be chilly, but that fabric dries fast anyway. I went up into the sewing room for the first time in ages […]
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time! Ours was pretty low key, but that was what we wanted. Ahren and Sara were both here for Christmas Eve and Christmas, so that was fabulous. I cannot think when I had both my kids under one roof for Christmas Eve! Now it is time to […]
I hope you all had a great Christmas! Ours was a mix of hectic and chaotic, which is the best, isn't it? Eva's daddy had a houseful of out of town visiting relatives, so she didn't get over to our house until later than planned, so our time with her was a bit rushed. I […]
Merry Christmas everyone. This year things are a bit different for our family. The tree may be smaller and the decorations more minimal, but the gratitude I feel for all the love and support I get from all of you readers is tremendous. Thank you all so much for all the encouragement and words of […]
Our holiday visit is going well. Dennis has shown some improvement. He is still very frail, but I think this burst of spirit is due to him being excited about our son's visit and wanting to take more part in the activities. Ahren and I were out and about yesterday. He did some last-minute Christmas […]
