Our first project for Autumn Jubilee begins today with a stitch along using wool felt. I thought you'd like to see how to use found wool fabrics, like in garments from the thrift store or yardage from a shop. Some time ago I got these lovely wool fabrics at a local shop with the intention …

September Wildlife
Wildlife at our place has been prolific lately, with what seems to be autumn migrations in full swing. I was very surprised one rainy morning to open the curtains and find 14 female turkeys in the front yard. A large flock like this had two males with them last year, but this group was all …
Decorating for Autumn with Quilts
I adore Autumn, as most of you already know, LOL! So it isn't a leap to think that our home is covered in Autumn glory in the form of quilts when the season arrives. While it is still warmer outside than I like, inside it looks like fall and I can imagine the crisp days …

In Gratitude
With the landfall of Florence, I was deeply touched by all the concern for our welfare. The emails and comments were simply amazing and heart warming. We came through the storm with no damage and little inconvenience, another thing to be grateful for. I've talked about Gratitude before in this post, and I am truly …
Fun at the NC Mountain State Fair
We went to the fair multiple times this year. Between the days to take in competition entries, pick up days, cooking contests, volunteering in the log cabin Heritage Center in the quilting booth, and a day just to see the sights, it has been non-stop for the past two weeks. We don't ride the rides …
Hungry Animals D9P Quilt
Remember the Hungry Animals Alphabet fabric? I still had just a little bit left from a gift sent to me by a reader. I wanted to do a lullaby quilt for entry in the fair, so it seemed the right time to use up the last of it. I picked bright colors from the print …
