One of the services I offer is quilt repair of what I call well loved quilts. This quilt was by far the most damaged I have ever been asked to repair. The lady that brought it said that she had given it to her daughter and son-in-law for a wedding gift. Once I had it …

Apple Blossom Drive
Spring is coming along, and last weekend we had a lovely day for a drive with the car club. It was a bright and sunny day, and we met up at a local grocery store for the drive. Usually we meet a bit early so we can look at the cars, and enjoy some coffee …
Square Dance – Allemande Left
Are you ready for the next step! This one is super secret as I have invented a way to do something fairly complicated in a simple way. So, this month we Allemande Left! Before we get to the dance part, I am going to reveal the quilt sizes. These measurements are without borders, so you …
Safelight Project Update
Going to the mailbox these days is so fun, with all the packages to pick up! The response from the greatest readers ever has been just awesome.

One of the historic places is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Florida at 164-1/2 feet above sea level. We had a lovely cool clear day, perfect for getting a bit …
Stamping Fun in April
Saturday was a cold and drizzly day, perfect for doing some indoor crafting. I was in the mood to do some stamping, and decided to make some cards for the Safelight Project. The Project is picking up now that spring breaks are over, and donations are continuing to arrive in the mail. Thank you to …
Asian Broccoli and Cabbage Salad
When we went to an event with the Appalachian Mountains Mini Club, part of the fun was a pot luck meal. Guests were asked to bring side dishes or desserts to go with the pork barbecue the hosts were serving. I thought about what to take for days. I didn't really know anyone, and had …
