I have been too busy lately with cleaning things out, appointments and meetings, and I have not had a lot of sewing time. Yesterday I went around the property and took some pictures so I would have something to talk about today. I noticed the mountain laurel has a lot of buds, and is just …

Can you believe that another month has gone by? Time to check in for our Stashbuster challenge. Once again, there is no judgement when the sale table calls, an adorable print shows up in the quilt shop, a vendor's offerings at the quilt show is uniquely appealing, or retail therapy is needed.

Hurricane Helene Quilts Update
Last Friday, I met Sherry from Haw River at our local quilt shop, Beginnings, to receive a fabulous shipment of quilts. She brought 12 queen, 6 twin / full and 14 throw/comfort quilts in both adult and children's themes. Since I knew well in advance that she was coming and what she was bringing, I …
Sunday Chat – Garden, Sewing and More
It has rained most of the week, which has been wonderful for tamping down the wildfires. It has made the grass and weeds grow, and brought the azaleas in full bloom. I've been taking more photos of them. We have this deep pink, along with the pastel pink and white ones. A few days from …
April Books
I've had a bit more time for reading in the morning lately as I slowly adjust to the bloody time change. The weather is finally nice enough to enjoy reading in Carolina room like we did after the hurricane while the power was out for days. The room still looks like this, as I haven't …
Baked Fire Roasted Tomato Pasta

This week, I had a couple of days where I could spend the whole day in my she-cave. It was a good time to load up the embroidery machine and let it stitch while I was working around the room, pulling things out and working on the decluttering. Here are two of the kitchen towels …
Finishing the Kaleidoscope Project
I was able to get back to the Kaleidoscope block this past week. Here's where I left off after doing the paper piecing. I put it aside for quite a while, as I thought about what to do with it. All I knew is that one of these blocks was enough, and I wasn't going …
Sunday Chat – Garden, Sewing, and Cookbook Winner
Spring is arriving when the ajugas bloom, although this week has been a full-on Blackberry Winter with lows near freezing, and that will continue into next week. It may damage the plants that have already begun to bloom, like the azaleas, but these ajugas can take it. We have lots of clumps all over the …
