Another year… I am a new grandmother, and a dog mom again to our new puppy. Christmas takes on new meaning.
I do contemplate blogging again. We shall see.
Wishing anyone reading this a wonderful holiday season and happiest of new years!

A bit late with my Christmas post. The holidays seem to get busier and busier, and I forgot to take photos. So, the Clauses say “goodbye” for now.

Back in May, I started spending time “Covid” gardening. To my delight, I happened on some tiny Monarch caterpillars on milkweed I had planted a few years back. I ended up spending several months rearing/releasing them back into my garden. What a joyful event it was in these crazy times! I continue to garden, and […]

Due to ongoing home improvements and our “real” fireplace being unavailable, I put together a Vintage Retro Christmas corner in my studio. Complete with a cardboard fireplace. It brings back memories of my childhood Christmas, especially the aluminum tree. Happy Holidays!

This is about as close as I will ever get to getting a tattoo. When I saw this embroidery pattern, I just had to put it on something, and that something was my denim jacket! Dear Hubby’s reaction: ” Quilt Or Die!?… Quilt or Die!?… It’s just a hobby!” I only wish I could have […]

While Dear Daughter is at home for the holidays, I made good use of my “new to me” Janome MC350E. I embellished a denim shirt for her with cycling woodland creatures – DD is very outdoorsy. I also embellished a denim skirt with a back-to-school fish… In honor of her starting Graduate School in Fish […]

Here is another vintage quilt top. Someone someplace in time, painstakingly pieced these lovely umbrella ladies. They had even drawn flowers, leaves, and butterflies on the top. After I had quilted it, I spent some time embroidering them. I love the way it turned out! A recurring theme… I love ladies, Sunbonnet Sue, and house […]

I have a preference for utilitarian quilts, so this is as close as I will probably ever get to being “artsy” with a quilt. In my pursuit to making decorative floral pillows, I cut out so many flowers and leaves that I decided to make a whole quilt. I framed them as if they were […]

Well, I managed to finish Lori Holt’s Quilty Silo Barn Along. I started this quilt four years ago. You can tell I used different muslin for the background. But, these things really don’t bother me, so it’s all good 🙂 . Now, on to the next project…
