I started this quilt a year ago. It was a pattern from one of the classes I took. Since I didn’t like my fabric choice(too plain and boring), I decided to applique cowboys and horses that I found in the book Applique Quilt Revival. The cowboys and horses are raw edge applique that I blanket […]

What has Norwegian Trolls got to do with my garden you ask? Nothing really, but there doesn’t seem to be much happening in the garden, so I thought I’d share. Here are some photos of the blooms hanging on in my front garden – so pretty: Dear Hubby came home from a business trip to […]

I was asked to make a quilt for Project Linus. A novelty fabric was supplied. I chose to use my scraps to make a scrappy baby quilt – I really like scrappy quilts. Most of the novelty fabric went on the back of the quilt. I even used the different stitches on my machine (finally!) […]

This is the first year I participated in the Sew Sisters Quilt exchange, and it did not disappoint. We gathered at a wonderful Spanish Cafe for a brunch followed by the exchange. Lots of photos to share, so here I go: If Donna’s quilt for Lynn looks familiar, it’s because I made one similar to […]

I have been neglecting my blog lately. It has been sooo hot around here, all I want to do is lay flat on the cool floor and do nothing… but I have been keeping busy. Starting off with my garden; venturing out into the unbearable heat, I am rewarded with a bumper crop of American […]

This month, I am featuring my vegetable garden. For the amount of care I give, I am always pleasantly surprised with the results: And for Vickie, I did two rows; the second and fourth from the top – both are paper pieced. Here are the links to the two rows: Flying Geese and Tippecanoe.

I needed a break from sewing/quilting, so I got on Photoshop and made this photomask to share – Enjoy!

I started this blog four years ago, when dear younger son went off to college and I was sad. This weekend, he graduated from University. Dear older son drove out from Arizona for the event. So, it was a wonderful weekend – we were once again all together! And finally, the Kings won, and younger […]
