Continuing with the repair from the previous post (Severely Damaged Quilt Repair), now the time consuming part of the repair began - the hand work. Lifting up the edge of the new backing, you can see some of the damage once again. The new muslin backing is pinned to the edge so I can bring …

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 …

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 …
