One of the wonderful things about warmer weather is the appearance of lovely ripe heirloom tomatoes at my local produce stand. It is on my way home from just about anywhere, so I can stop in easily to see if the tomatoes have come in yet. She has fresh eggs and goat cheese too, so …

Be My Neighbor Block 10 and a Quilt Shop Visit
Moving on to Block 10, I feel like I am running out of choices for pastels. I really don't want to buy more fabric for this quilt, but I may have to. A fat quarter or two wouldn't hurt, would it? There are still six more blocks after this one. I knew I wanted a …

A Card for Mother’s Day
Normally I would show the card I made for my MIL before Mother's Day, but she reads my blog and I didn't want her to see it until she got it in the mail. The idea here can be modified for any holiday or occasion, just change the sentiment. I decided on yellow when I …
Quick Trip to Chattanooga
Last week another opportunity came up to take a really fast trip with DH. He had a small job to do in Chattanooga, driving over one day and back the next. It was too good to pass up, so again I packed a bag and tagged along. We drove over in the morning, and there …
Spring Chicken Tablescape and some recipe ideas
I promised a chicken inspired tablescape using the neat chicken planter I got in Myrtle Beach, and here it is! I did seriously look for some chicken plates, LOL, but not to be. Still, the spring green placemats look good with the green on the planter. I do have some chicken napkin rings, so they …

Quilt of Valor- Stars and Bars
When I visited the Grand Strand Quilters in Myrtle Beach, I agreed to be a part of their drive to get their backlog of 150 QOV quilts quilted and delivered. I came home with 10 to do, and pulled out the first bundle. I like what they have done here, each quilt is tied with …
An Iris Adventure for National Iris Day
Today is National Iris Day, and I have been saving my odyssey to revive my purple iris flowers for today. I'll show the progression of the beds, and give you some hopefully interesting Iris lore along the way. Did you know that the Iris is named for the Greek goddess of the Rainbow? She is …
Early May in the Garden
The garden is coming alive again, finally! It seemed like everything just turned green overnight here, but actually the trees really leafed out while we were gone for a week. Still, the transformation from bare limbs to verdant green means spring is well and truly here. Our driveway down the mountain is glorious, and the …
Shelby Car Show
Last Saturday was the first car show of the year for our car club to attend as a group. Nine vintage cars, one new car, and 23 members met at Cracker Barrel at a wee hour to get to Shelby, North Carolina by 9:30 for the Broad River European Motor Club's Annual Car Show. Arriving …
Be My Neighbor Block 9
The meeting is today, and I'll be taking the pebble fabrics there to get a few more opinions. Actually if I could find the grey color in the other smaller scale, it would be perfect. I've had another idea too. I am considering taking all the blocks apart and adding blue sky sashing between the …
