November is already half over, and this is my first post of the month. I want to make sure to post my garden, and some updates. I have two tiny persimmon trees, and they have generously produced some fruits. I love persimmons, as I grew up with them, and they also have the vibrant orange […]

A quick post about my October garden, and some other things. Pomegranates are the October standout in my garden. They are delicious! I don’t know why, but a lot of them have split, but nevertheless they are very good. Dear Hubby and I went to the Claremont Faire last week. There was an amazing […]

Well, I have finally finished my first quilt! (first since I took up quilting again). This one is for my mother-in-law. She favors earth tones, so I combined my love of pink, and her browns to make this log cabin quilt. My friend Ellie helped me pick out the fabrics. Piecing was a cinch, but […]

My friend Ellie invited me to join another quilt group, the Sew Sisters. It is a wonderful group of women with a passion for quilting. We have been meeting in the evenings, and since I didn’t want to lug my machine around, I decided to start a Dorothy’s Garden Girls Quilt, and work on the […]

I’ve been keeping quite busy since dear daughter left for college. My thoughts on Empty Nesting, Hmmm… Odd. Before she left, I had moments of melancholy, didn’t last long, but it was sad all the same. Now, it’s just an odd feeling. I spent the first few days cleaning. And you know what’s amazing? whatever […]

Yes, I am waxing nostalgic these last few days before dear daughter heads off to college… I took a photo of her and boy next door the other day before they took off on a bike ride. And I remembered a cute photo I took of them many years ago, so I thought I’d share. […]

I have been quilting for almost three months now. So far, I have two completed quilt tops and nine other quilts at various stages (some just started). Yes, I think I do have some OCD tendencies! And, I will probably add to the quilt tops before any of them get completed, sooo… I mentioned earlier […]

Here are the last two Quilty Barn blocks from Lori Holt’s Quilty Barn A Long. I also made a second Tractor Label, this time a pink one. After all, it’s a Vintagy Farm “Girl” Tractor Label. I love the sunnyside up egg fabric, and the John Deere Tractor fabric. Now, all that is left are […]
