The heat is not quite as intense in the past few days, so of course I began thinking about having a luncheon with friends over to enjoy the veranda. There are several new additions to my tablescaping closet, some from thrift stores and some from online auctions I just could not resist. When I saw …

Paper Pieced Teacup
I have been trying to figure out what to do with the Asian fabrics I got recently from the estate sale. Some of the pieces are large, but some are just fat quarters, but all of them are beautiful. I had an idea of making a quilt or a wall hanging of Japanese teacups to …
Birdseed Bag Totes
When going to the grocery store or pharmacy or department stores, I have made the decision stop using the single use plastic bags. As much as possible, and it is very possible to do this on every visit to every store, I will refuse those store bags in favor of my own reusable bags. Even …
Redwork Project for Christmas
I am finally getting to this project I've been wanting to start for over a year. I got this adorable pattern from Red Brolly some time ago.

Thames River Cruise and more from England
During our vacation in London last May, one of the highlights of our time there was a River Cruise on the Thames. The cruise began near the London Eye ferris wheel, and took most of the day to go to Greenwich, have time to explore there, then cruise back. The day was clear and not …
Creating Yard Art
Gardens full of flowers are a joy to behold. Sometimes it is nice to have some art pieces in with the flowers to add some interest when they finish blooming, or before the blooms appear. Something to add a bit of charm to the flower bed like this miniature rusty bicycle. So, with that in …
Feathered Lullaby Quilt
Last year, I showed the Hungry Animal Alphabet panel in a quilt, the ABC Quilt. Showing just a couple of the lettered squares, readers had a great time looking at them. Each one has an animal with food and other items all beginning with the same letter designed by J. Wecker Frisch. This idea is …
